Welcome to the team

Welcome to you all, old friends and new.  It’s a special day at Team Rasler: our SITS day!  If you don’t know what that means, you can find out more at the end.

Allow me to introduce you to The Team.  But first, I should tell you that

Three of us are sick today, and
One of us is busy doling out medicines and hugs,

So please step over the tissue graveyards next to every flat surface and come on in.
We’re a pretty friendly bunch, and we bet that you’ll find that at least

One of us reminds you of someone you know.

—————————————————-

All of us live in the Pacific Northwest.
Two of us were born here.
One of us is Canadian; one of us is American. Two of us are half-Yank, half-Canuck.
Three of us have American passports.
Two of us will get Canadian ones as soon as
One of us gets around to doing the paperwork.

One of us roots for Toronto teams.  One of us roots for Detroit’s.
More than four of us root for Team Rasler.
Two of us just want the ball, thank you very much.

One of us is a software developer and one of us is an elementary teacher.
Three of us are students, but only
One of us has homework.

Three of us have brown hair and one of us has red.
One of us has green eyes and three of us have blue.
One of us is outnumbered by the other three of us, unless you count the cats.

All of us love to read books.
Two (sometimes three) of us like to read the words.  Two of us prefer to read the pictures.
One of us occasionally tries to taste them.

Three of us will eat pretty much whatever
One of us cooks.
One of us usually says, “No, thank you” until breakfast.

All of us love dessert, but only
Two of us can reach the dessert shelf.
One of us uses it as a reward for doing chores.

Three of us love our cats, but only
Two of us are loved by them in return. Probably because
One of us likes to pull their tails.

Three of us believe in afternoon siestas, but
Two of us can never get one because
One of us refuses to cooperate.

One of us can play the guitar, and
Two of us can play the piano, while
Three of us play a mean maraca.
All of us love to dance.

Two of us have three names; two of us have four.
All of us are Raslers.

One of us likes to say, “Why?”
One prefers to say, “No!”
Two of us have a newfound appreciation for silence.

All of us are lucky, but two of us are the luckiest.

All of us inspire stories, so
One of us writes them down here while
Three of us are sleeping.

This post was inspired by this book and this post.

If you don’t know what SITS is, it’s a gigantic group of female bloggers dedicated to supporting each other.  The SITS girls offer all kinds of tips and tricks for how to make the most of your blog, too.

I’ve learned a lot and made many friends since I connected with them, and I’m honored to meet those of you visiting from there!
