When people recount their adventures to me, I always say, "Start from the very beginning and tell me everything!" And because I know you are exactly like me (Yeah, we're pretty much twins, you and I) I will tell you every detail. Well, until I get burned out, or the baby cries or something happens. Then I'll just leave you hanging. Of course, you'll be mad, but I hope- over time, that you'll be able to forgive me.
Let me just say, if you ever intend to meet me, I don't have red hair, don't dress in like Lucille Ball, and have never cleaned my house in a house dress. I know, you're disappointed. I'm sorry. I can make bread if that makes you feel any better.
Before I left, Elastic and I hatched this plan to be dressed alike when we got off the plane. In our minds, this was oh-so-funny! Friday morning, (shoot, has it been a week already?) I dressed in my red Target polo, khaki capris and got on the plane.
What? You dressed at the airport? No.
The airplane came and picked you up at your house? No, no.
I dressed, went to the airport, and then got on the plane. You are soo funny.
I get to Denver and am going up the ramp off the plane, and I remember that I'm supposed to be wearing these black clogs (that Elastic was supposedly going to be wearing too). I pulled over on the ramp and switched from my flip flops, to the clogs. Why didn't I wear them on the plane? Well, if you must know, I'm not a fan of those black clogs. Actually, I bought some cute gingham flats, but Elastic could only find one in each size at her Walmart. *sigh*
Anyhoo, I get off the plane, looking like I work at Target, and I'm looking all around for Annie who is picking me up. All of the sudden, I hear "CARROT!", so I look up and see two people waving at me. (I thought it was Annie and Carrie, but it was really Annie and Elastic)
Riding up the escalator, I am looking at the person I think is Carrie, and I think to myself, "Hmmm, she is dressed similarly to me - but the color is off a little." Then I realize it's not Carrie, but it's Elastic. It's Elastic in her CORAL polo, tan khaki capris, and black SANDALS. So close, and yet, so not looking alike.
What's that? This is long and boring and we're not even out of the airport yet? Well, excuuuse me. If you don't like it, then I'll just leave and go help my brother pack up his apartment. Is that what you want? Yes? Okay. I'll be back later. When you have time to listen.

Ouch! Way to burst the bubble, Carrot!
Oh that Elastic...she's one rebellious, coral wearing, soul, ain't she?
left hanging.
We are sooo twins.
Tell me everything.
Coral isn't red? Next you're going to try to tell me that lilac isn't purple, aren't you?
In my mind, you DO have red hair (even though you've posted a picture of yourself, in which you did not have red hair). You have red hair and you spend your free time tapping out top-40 hits - with remarkable accuracy and tonal range - using spoons. Let me have this image, Carrot. That's all I ask of you. Let me have this image.
I love this story it never gets old. I'm on the edge of my seat I can't wait to hear what happens next.
Sometimes twins just need to express a little bit of individuality, that's all.
What a nice thing to have someone to dress twin-like . . . even if it wasn't quite as planned . . .
I appreciate the fun break from work . . . brief though it was . . .
Everything's coming up roses, indeed!
tick tock watch the clock wait for carrot to return.....
that was really rude of you to leave me hanging....hmmmphh..
I'm jealous I wanna meet carrot!
Can't wait for the rest. :)
I met her! She is sassy like a red head....she soooo could vacuum in pumps! I bet she irons her grunders....I'm just sayin.
The twin thing is funny....they acted like they have known each other since childhood...I believed it....I just figured Elastic washed things in FIRE LAVA HOT water....that is why her shirt was faded...that's all.
I'm waiting for "The rest of the Story" I'm going to imagine Paul Harvy is narrating.
I wish it would STOP signing me in as that PJ, I am this PJ.
No it's not too long. I want every detail. (And please oh please don't leave out the part about how badly you missed me and b.)
Waiting...still waiting...
Looks like fun, but did you all get Carrot talking without an upper lip? Now that is something to see.
I am so funny, aren't I. Thanks for noticing.
You are pretty funny too.
so you werent wearing daisy dukes, a hot pink tank top and clear stilettoes? I thought elastic was yanking my chain when she denied it.
and you will always have red hair and housedress with heels to me too. I have added cute dimples to my mental image however
How funny that you thought that Elastic was Carronin! :D
Is Coral the same as Salmon? I thought we had decided EWBL had on Salmon. Now I'm all confused!! ;)
i thought it was salmon. it looked salmon to me.
I never read all the comments on other blogs.....but this is different. People are talking about ME.....and my salmon shirt.
No, it didn't smell like salmon. It was salmon colored. I pride myself on wearing non-fishy smelling shirts.
