about 6 weeks ago,
callmetc &
jpenamelist came to visit us and run the
raleigh half-marathon with
thebroomecloset. in preparation for the run, we hosted a pastafarian pastravaganza the evening before...
bluemeg &
cindrax (with
julesk,
wahyagar, and the young'un in tow) brought over their automatic pastamaker,
thebroomecloset and i broke out our hand-cranked pasta roller
pasta roller, and we had a pasta deathmatch!
at some point during the kitchen activities, my sister (A.) wandered in - just in time to hear me zing
callmetc, apparently, because he turned to her and asked, theatrically, "are you the nice sister?" to which my sister responded, with a baleful stare, "no."
later in the day, we went out for a hike along the eno; this time it was A.'s turn to zing
callmetc. (poor guy was having a rough day. or, alternately, is a slow learner.) when he turned to her with a wounded expression, she declared, "i told you - i'm not the nice sister!">
a couple nights ago,
thebroomecloset & A. & i were chatting in the kitchen; whatever A. and i were discussed rapidly devolved into a snarkfest. at some point, we looked at each other, and one of us inquired "so, which of us was supposed to be the nice sister again?"
to which
thebroomecloset replied: "i am."
the living together... it has been good. :)
