Finding Stuff

It was a good thing that my daughter bought a universal ipod dock. She bought it a long time ago and I found it inside her drawer while I was de-cluttering her room.  I gave to her brother so he can charge and synch his iPod conveniently.  My daughter sold her iPod a long time ago after she bought an iPhone and an iPad.    I’m still not through with her room; I’m sure I’ll find other useful stuff that she had forgotten about.

Jean and Jenn

Jean hates it that unlike her twin sister, she was not blessed with long, thick eyelashes.    Jenn’s are long and curly while hers are very thin and short.  So when Jenn found a way for her sister to lengthen her lashes, she immediately told her about it.   Jean checked out the best eyelash growth product her sister was talking about. When she saw a lot of positive reviews, she bought the product to try. Sure enough, her lashes now are thick and curly.  This made them doubly hard to distinguish.  They are too identical that if you don’t know them well, you will have a tough time telling who’s who.
