How’s that for a title? 
My oldest brother is celebrating another birthday this week. He’s like really old, now. Really, really old. Like really. Well, older than me anyway and that’s all that really matters.
He used to lay his dirty, and awfully stinky, socks across my face while I was asleep. I would wake up from the odor. In high school his favorite thing to say to me was, “Don’t have a cow, Ruthanne!”
As tough as high school was, it was tougher being known as “Marty’s sister”. You see, whenever I would hear that, it was always as a question.
“Your Marty’s sister?”
Like they were disappointed. Like they were expecting somebody cooler.
*snort*
He use to drive this big, ol’ car we affectionately termed The Hoopty. I loved riding in that car~ it was a monster.
My hoopty rollin’
Tail pipe draggin’ . . . .
Um, sorry. I was having a moment.
So, anyway . . . Happy Birthday, Goober! I know you won’t ever see this, which is why I posted that goofy picture of you. Love ya. 
In totally unrelated news, this is how Blondie dressed himself yesterday. {I apologize for the blurriness. It’s hard to get sharp images when you’re laughing!}
He seems to have inherited Junior’s sense of style.
I have no words.
Except for . . .
Please send help.
One more piece of random thought. The Glee 2 Album has been out since Dec. 8th and I just found out about it this morning. I wept because I had missed out on over a month of awesome tunes and then I wept for joy because I purchased it. All is well again. Well, except that there will be no new Glee episodes until April. Sigh. That’s like . . . a long time. However, I’m keeping my fingers crossed the rumors that have been circulating around about Idina Menzel joining the cast are true. *Squeal*
Such a beautiful sentiment to your brother.
Love it… and Bondie’s keen fashion sense. Perfect.

Isn’t it, though ~ my brother is really blessed to have me as a sister.

Wow, your big brother is a cutie! Happy birthday to him, and thanks for the eye-candy! (haha, I know, people should never say stuff like that about a brother).
Will you look at those gorgeous blue eyes on Blondie? Wow, future heart-breaker alert, Mom…

Wow, if Marty is getting old then what is happening to us Ruthanne? Think GOOD thoughts w/ fingers crossed!
You really sent me down memory lane with that one! Both of your bothers were really good to us when you think about it…or maybe it was your parents that made them shuttle us around??? Hummmm!
Anyway it goes Happy Birthday Marty!
