24 years ago today, something happened in my life. I did not understand what was happening at the time, because I was only 3 years old, but if I would have known then what I know now- I would have been celebrating my a** off!!!
On Tuesday, October 29th 1986 my little sister Megan was born. She also goes by Schmegan, Megun the Raygun, Megs, Nutmeg, Blueberries and Cream, Minnie Mouse, and Cinderella. My Mommy was terrified of having a child on Halloween so she had the doctor induce her and Megan was born. My Daddy used to call her Blueberries and Cream because she has the biggest bluest eyes with the longest prettiest eyelashes ever!!!
I have a few memories of her being younger, I remember she used to take all of the stuff out of Grandpa McKay's pocket (which is a lot of stuff) while he was sleeping, I remember having Oatmeal with her and my sister Rachel at the kitchen table in the mornings, I remember she was obsessed with the movie E.T., to the point where we could not watch anything else for MONTHS!!!
She has always been very brave- she cut her hair really short when the rest of us wouldn't have dared, she wanted to water ski when the rest of us were frightened, and she moved to Norway with my Daddy when the rest of us were Chicken Sh*t.
We aren't going to discuss what happened when she was a teenager- first I don't want to spill the beans to the Parental Units on some stuff that I know about and lets just say I hated her guts- to put it VERY lightly.
I don't know how it changed, or when it changed, or why it changed, but I find that today she is one of my most faithful friends, supreme confidants, and my co-conspirator. She is fun, funny and fun loving, clever, manipulative, sophisticated, she is drop dead gorgeous, mischievous, smart, intense, and classy. She loves fashion, and pretty things, and she always looks smokin' hot. She loves cocktails, dancing and is always the life of the party.
She is my mirror shining back at me, a world of possibilities. She is my witness, who see's me at my worst and best, and loves me anyway. She is my partner in crime, my midnight companion (she is afraid of earthquakes), someone who knows when I'm smiling-even in the dark. She is my teacher (she taught me how to dance- so if I look like a ruh-tard its her fault!! :D), my defense attorney, my personal press agent, my fashion sense, even my shrink. Some days........she is the reason I wish I was the only child. -Barbara Alpert

You have inspired me to be more feminine, to know what I am signing, to let my hair down, walk on the wild side and laugh often!!! I miss you so much sissy, and I hope you have a wonderful birthday!!! Love on ya and sparkles************* BS***********************************
very sweet!
