Oh, Mom. How am I like [she]? Let me count the ways….

1. I hate getting my hair wet in the pool. 
2. I just overscooped the amount of peanut butter needed for the apple. It’s a real struggle not to get another apple to make it “come out even.” (This originates with brownies and ice cream, but let’s face it: the principle applies in all paired foods). 
3. Wine. Lots of it and without shame. 
4. Failure to control THE VOLUME OF MY VOICE.
5. Stunningly good looks. 
6. Preference given to staying dry, book in hand, on vacation. Probably related to #1. 
7. I tend to spell things out. L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y. 
8. I love a good party; if I have something to lend the hostess, I offer it; once at the party you’ll find me telling a story, most likely with a bit of a dramatic flair. 
9. I can pack a suitcase in 9.7 seconds when told a vacation is a possibility. 
10. Good taste in husbands, as we both married men who love us and encourage us to be our truest selves.
