amberisms, the first one

it's a term that my family came up with a few years back, to give a name to the things that amber did that were purely "amber." and i've decided to share my favorites.  it's been an idea of mine for a while but i haven't posted until now because, in a way, i thought wanted to keep what i have left of her to myself...my memories of her i mean.  its weird, i know.  i'm shaking my head even as i write it.  its definitely a process.

so here we go! this is meant to be lighthearted and funny, so i promise i'll write that way from here on out :)


350

on just a normal day, mom decided to cook something (best introductory sentence EVER).  don't remember what it was, but that's not important.  we'll call it a cake.

we always knew that helping mom cook anything meant getting to lick the spoon...unless it would be gross.  licking a spaghetti-water spoon would not be very exciting.  BUT. back to my story.  amber asked to help and mom set her to work, telling her first to set the oven to 350.....  oh amber....it was the first task!

so amber hopped on over to the microwave, naturally....

and muttered to herself, deep in thought....

until, finally,

*laughs* ahhh, gets me every time. and yea, it was one of those old microwaves that had a dial.  no newfangled digital nonsense for us when we were younger.  we microwaved the hard way, uphill both ways.... in the snow. 

more to come soon!

love you sister
