Topic Deficiency

Three of my favorite people
almost four years ago
Some days I just can't think of anything about which to write. I have a short paper due at school Sunday, so I guess I've used up my creativity for the week.

I could write about Abby and school, but she's in a holding pattern of math review until Parents' Night. And if anything dire has happened on the social front (dire in the mind of an eight-year-old half-vampire perky-goth-wannabe tomboy princess, that is) she hasn't told me.

I could write about Leanna and school, but she does not live here, so all I know is that she enjoys it more this year, and that she left her library books here last weekend, which the hubs returned to her on Tuesday.

I could write about Lizzy and school, but you saw what I wrote yesterday and she's only attending three days a week and won't go again until tomorrow.

I could write about my favorite dentist, or my favorite consignment shop, or my favorite nail spa or my favorite coffee shop, but I've been there and done those and aside from having visited the consignment shop today (got three pair shoes that may or may not fit Abby, who has already trashed the ones we bought her for back-to-school, and who cares if they don't fit at $6 - paid with store credit, so no cash outlay - per pair), and having made an appointment for the dentist for tomorrow (this canker sore will not go away since my extraction), I got nuthin'.

So on days like these, I just write, kind of randomly. It seems to work.

And... made ya look.

    It's amazing how much Leanna and Abby look like sisters, even though they are not related by blood.

    Shawna, you are not the first to remark on that (mental note: post the separate Santa pix sometime - it's really evident there). I imagine it's simply that they both have a lot of British Isles in their ancestries, so they're of a "type" - brown hair, fair skin, blue or green eyes.

    But you look at the three of them and it's interesting.

    Leanna and Lizzy share the same father. They both have curly/wavy hair and blue eyes.

    Abby and Lizzy share the same mother. They both have lighter brown hair and similar eye shape.

    Abby and Leanna have no common ancestry (I mean, maybe back a gazillion generations but nothing within the last couple hundred years), but there it is, same basic "type".
