Raisin Girl

I was listening to Cornflake Girl on my iPod this morning and it reminded me of Clementine. I don't even remember which of us is supposed to be "Raisin Girl" anymore but it's all because of a story of how when she was a little girl in Hawaii she or her mom once opened a container of raisins to find it full of maggots, so she for years and years referred to raisins as "raisin worms". In fact, I'm thinking now the nickname was probably not Raisin Girl but Worm Girl.

Anyway, I just wanted to dedicate a post to my psychic twin Clementine, as it is our co-birthday month.

We have known each other for almost 14 years now, since becoming fast friends our first year at Smith, bonding over our love for Miss Saigon, Indigo Girls and our propensity to sit in our pajamas folding laundry and watching 90210 rather than partying at the Quad. (Oh yeah, we were that cool.)

We've been through lots of things together from literally sharing a dorm with crack-smokers to moving to Somerville after college and now Clementine and Hashbrown are moms and I am a doting Auntie to Hester Willa.

Happy Birthday month, Clementine! I love you and I'm so glad we were lucky enough to land in the same house first year.... god knows we may never have met each other otherwise (what with the whole staying in doing laundry thing and all)!

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
