You know you're my favorite, right? (Don't tell your sister)

My daughter, Elizabeth (Liz) raised a concern, the other day, that she was getting "short shrift" on my blog, and her sister Sarah was getting more coverage. I looked through my blog posts, and dang if she wasn't right. Sarah had way more coverage, since she had recently been married, and then taken an extended trip to Bangkok. But wait, I'm talking about Sarah again.

In an effort to ameliorate that inequity, I posted Equal Time. The daughter in question has not yet commented. In fairness, it's highly likely that the "daughter in question" hasn't even SEEN the post yet, since she only tends to read my blog, when she's here, and using my computer. She can just click on my "active rain" link, and doesn't have to remember any fancy URL (yes, daughter, that's right... your ancient daddy knows what a URL is and can use it in a sentence).

As you can see from the photo... Liz is cute as a bug in a rug, and plenty o' smart to boot. Just in case Equal Time wasn't enough to bring us to equal, I thought I'd write another post, and include this photo of Liz. Okay, okay... the photo was taken at Sarah's rehearsal dinner (dang, i keep bringing up Sarah)... but it's a darn cute photo of Liz, so...I'm leaving it up.

Liz has recently begun her fieldwork, in pursuit of the completion of her master's degree in occupational therapy, and is less than 6 months away from graduation. I promise to blog about her gradumacation. (of course that means, I'll have to fit 15 more posts about her sister... but I think I can manage.)

Liz is currently living with her pet cat, Bailey, who is the devil incarnate. The cat is mean, mean, mean. His latest trick is to sit ON the mouse, while you're using it... and if you try to pull the mouse out, he'll bite you on the hand. Nice. But she loves this evil cat, and she claims that he loves her... and by LOVES, I mean TOLERATES... and by TOLERATE, I mean he "bites her less than others".

I'm sure that Liz will enjoy the fact that I'm "featuring" her in this post. (not)... but hey... equity is an important factor, and since you pointed it out, I want to make sure you get equal... or maybe MORE than equal coverage!! And besides, the more I post about her, the more opportunity it gives her to correct my grammar, spelling and/or punctuation!

So... here's to you, Lizzie-Occupational-Therapy-Student-Mean Cat-Whisperer, and tamer of the Bailey, Lady! Here's to you!

btw... thanks to Kristin Moran for the idea for the title of this post.
