So apparently, my sister Joanne, in her christmas haste or race....to be the first one to get her christmas card out to me before our other sisters do this year ...(except for Robin, who addressed her's safely from the confines of her house during the missed sister weekend's snowstorm a few weeks ago...(she's the old one remember..))
'cause you see, while the envelope was neatly addressed, (as only a school teacher can do), and the stamp was precisely positioned in the upper right hand corner, and upon reading the return address, I noticed that this christmas card was going to be, in fact, from joanne and her family...
So naturally, I opened the card..a very nice card..the very same card, in fact, that I almost bought to mail from our house this year... which, while endearing, is not surprising, because we sister's tend to do that alot, doncha know.
Except for one small difference...which is that, I usually sign the inside of my christmas cards before I seal the envelope.
But Joanne, for whatever reason, decided not to this year. The reason is unclear to me..either
a.) she is seriously over the safe limits of multi-tasking right now.
b.) she needs her estrogen levels checked.
c.) she is in the early stages of altzheimers, or
d.) she fell asleep at the wheel, er, pen...
Maybe it's a combination of all...maybe she is just caught in a holiday induced, hormonally challenged, over-achieving, type A narcoleptic multitasker, with too many things to do. And THAT my friend, is a set up for losing one's mind.
Hmmm....I dunno, I could be wrong here. Maybe...just maybe..she is being environmentally friendly and wants me to recycle the card back to her for next year..
I mean, after all...I did know who the card was from, right?

You want to know whats funny........I sent that card out last year! And even funnier is that I think I sent the card Andrea sent last year THIS year! I'm shocked how we all think alike!!
hmmm...maybe mom had us all implanted with same card-picking chips at birth...that, and coffee maker picking chips...i thought that mole looked a little funny....
oK, OK THE TRUTH IS OUT oh I'm shouting.. not good. The truth is it is a secret club, verysecret... I keep everyone guessing who... I wonder how many people got similar cards, oh well, I've b een sleep deprived since 1981. I think I do pretty good on 22 years of owed sleep.
22 yrs...that's one hell of a sleep debt to pay...that splains a lot of tings ricky.
