And Now For My Twinkie!

I know.  I can't tell us apart either when we stand side by side.  This is my twin sister: Shannon Cochran.  Here are the answers to any twin questions that might be floating around in your brain right this very now. Yes, we were born on the same day so, yes, we are both the same age.  This also means we have the same birthday, and no, we are NOT bitter about having to share our birthday with each other or the thousands of other people born on that day.  We are fraternal twins which means, no, we don't look exactly alike so please stop analyzing our faces trying to find the similarities.  No, I cannot feel her pain unless she is in the same room as me listening to the same crazy questions about being twins.  I think that covers it.

Name: Shannon
Nicknames:  PickleHead; Don't-Start-None-Won't-Be-None; Mega Meanie Mommy
Favorites:  Yorkies; organization and cleanliness; the color black; watching Anne of Green Gables and The Little Mermaid over and over until my sister wants to jump off a bridge
Not-So-Favorites:  Emptying the dishwasher; messes; whining
Why I'm Doing This:  to say I can do a 1/2 marathon, to be in better shape; to support all my girls who want to do this too
Training:  1/2 marathon training schedule; Pilates bar workout; Ultimate Core Trainer workout

There are so many tales I could tell about my twin...wait...she could do the same...hold on.  This should be thought out me thinks.  At any rate, I'm glad to be doing this with one of the best people I know.  Hey look! I found a pic of another set of twins that are just as alike as me and PickeHead!  I hope it makes my point.  Well, it's my turn to be the Evil Twin.  Time to torture the captives...I mean make the kids clean up.
