The Advantages & Disadvantages of Having a Sister Gone For A Month

Candace is gone for a month to attend a L'Abri center. While very excited for her sake, I am wondering if this will really be worth it in the end... :)

Advantages:
My own bedroom for a while
Being able to borrow her clothes and not worry that she'll want to wear them
Umm....

Disadvantages:
An empty bedroom
Not having her here to talk to before bedtime
Not having her here to talk to WAY after bedtime
Brushing my teeth and putting on make-up at the mirror alone
Not being able to ask her opinions on what to wear (even though she faithfully gives the answer, "whatever you want")
Not having her here for our HiStory performance next weekend
Not having her here to make fun of and, yes, boss around :)
Not hearing her complain about my messy room
Not having her here to stick close to whenever we're in a crowd
Wondering what she's doing
Her being too busy to even talk on the phone very much
Not being able to hear her talk on and on
Not being able to tell her to shut up so that I can talk too :)
Lots more that I don't want to write for fear of sounding depressed

Not being able to see her when we come. :(

Not being able to goof off like crazy with her when we are all way too over tired.

Not being able to have those deep coversations that I always come away from encouraged and uplifted.

Not being able to have a morning cup of coffee with her.

Not being able to talk, talk, talk, and talk some more about everything under the sun, except music :)

Not being able to...........
