Carmel Mocha Frappuccino (or however you spell it)

Well, something hilarious just happened in Starbucks, after I published the last post. Some lady started drinking her drink and realized that it wasn't hers. The poor unfortunate who was its owner just stood by and watched. It had SEVEN squirts of vanilla. Is someone obsessed with vanilla here? I think so.

Cheers!

Hello World!

There is nothing quite like sitting in a Starbucks and blogging (or, as they say in the United Kingdom, St. Arbucks :). No, we haven't died or anything that tragic, unless you can call excessive amounts of homework tragic. We just got busy. and then, busier :)

Well, we went to the orthodontist today for one final retainer fitting. I guess it must have been multiples day at the orthodontist because there was a set of eight-year-old triplets there when we arrived. The one other patient in the room who was NOT a twin or a triplet must have felt pretty alone and confused. I was confused myself.

So, in order to do some fun things in town, I'm sitting in Starbucks attempting to write on my novel, and failing miserably.

We haven't really gotten the hang of this blogging thing yet. My greatest connection to it is the little button attached to my toolbar in Firefox, which I rarely click on. Perhaps I will visit this lonely spot in the near future and cheer it up a bit...now there's a thought.

Cheers!

We crack each other up

Laura and I have actually had several conversations about this video. Aren't they CUTE!!!! Like them, we crack each other up with jokes that no one else in the world understands.




Just a little something cute to brighten up your day and to keep you from thinking about...snow! :)
Cheers!

P.S. Not EVERYTHING on this blog is going to be about twins...

I suppose I should relate the tale of how this blog was started. Ever since Laura and I got back from Europe a few months ago, we've missed the blogging world. The posts with neither be frequent nor long. The title of this blog is the definition of idioglossia, (a very fancy word that a friend pointed out to me). The language of twins (like those in the video) is a language only understood between them. Laura and I have a similar language, not made up of words, but of looks and non-verbal communication. We also tend to use the royal "we" a lot, sometimes even when our twin is not present (this created a few awkward situations). Now you've learned a new word (not like you'll ever use it) and discovered a cool blog as well. Ciao!
