A Conversation With My Sister

by

WendyB: I really don’t like to hear most people’s opinions.
Terri Berry: (silent)
WendyB: I just don’t care what they think.
Terri Berry: (silent)
WendyB: I guess that makes it sound like I don’t like people very much.
Terri Berry: You never did!

WendyB and Terri Berry in 2007
She knows me well!

  1. Yay for sisters!
    And being a misanthrope (I am too).

    xoxox,
    CC

    P.S. You are both beauties!!

  2. Well my opinion is gorgeous picture of two very beautiful gals. I’m the bad arse one out of my sisters too. Too opinionated and couldn’t care less about other peoples ones. Blogging and reading comments has helped.

  4. Gorgeous pic! You and Terry Berry are soooo alike in appearance, wonderful smiles you both have!

  5. Hah! I love it. It definitely sounds like your sister knows you all too well 😉

    And I love that picture– you two are both so lovely & beautiful!

  7. I can see that good looks and a penchant for red lipstick run in your family. Great picture!

  8. hi wendy! I love your lotus necklace!!! I was wondering how did you learn how to design jewelry?

  9. You two are absolutely GORGEOUS!

    You really, really look like twins.. but I’m sure you hear that all the time 🙂

  11. thank god for sisters, although i may have too many and they sometimes drive me crazy. they also probably know me better than I do.

  14. I can’t figure out which of you is more gorgeous delicious. She looks like Mariska Hargitay in this picture. She must be about to have her little baby, non?

  18. I guess that means the people’s who’s opinion you do care about are super special!

  21. you two look fabulous. that made me smile.

    What were you drinking? White wine of some sort. was it Riesling or Chardonnay? OR champagne poured into a white wine glass? I’m a weird I know.

  22. Haha, as an only child, I suppose my opinions only mattered to me!! You and your sister both look gorgeous!

  24. Couturecarrie, I think it’s fair to hate all people equally, don’t you?

    MakeDo, that’s the kind of opinion I can accept!

    KD, if I happen to agree with the opinion, I think that it’s excellent to read it.

    Bronwyn, yep, you can tell we’re related, right?

    Ashe, better than I know myself, perhaps.

    ENC, no “you are what you eat”? Because that means I’m a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar.

    DP, thank you and yes, mom wears red too.

    K, I just started doing it! No training, no nothing.

    Fab Broke, we do hear that a lot. Terri gets mad because she thinks people are implying that she looks older than she is (I’m 3.5 years older)

    Skye, thank you!

    Herald, isn’t that top funny? I wore it to my husband’s retirement party from the newspaper in question!

    Suze, Dang! That’s one of the few opinions I enjoy hearing.

    K.Line, not till November.

    SW, 😛

    Dale, only happy comments, but yes, I admit that I do.

    Micgar, aw shucks! That’s sweet.

    TCH, I think so.

    Jen, a lot of them don’t make themselves very likable.

    Aretha, thanks!

    Songy, I have a feeling it was Chardonnay.

    Sharon, thanks.

    Susie, she does kinda sneak up on you.

  26. sometimes I question whether or not I like people as well. The answer always ends up being yes, despite my questionable statements:)

  27. you both are gorgeous and pull off red lipstick so well!

    i’m not a people person either, people just mistake me for warm. something must have made them miss out the luke prefix.

  29. ah people who don’t like other peoples opinions are the ones fueled to do great things!
    🙂

    btw, that the most gorgeous pic of you two!

  30. You look adorable in this picture. You seem to photograph well in black. Is this what you have found through experience? In my opinion, you look awesome in black, since it seems to complement your skin tone well.
