Katie, your cookie bars this morning were DELICIOUS. I had to look away from them after I chose the biggest one in the box for myself this morning, so that I wouldn't eat the rest. I don't think my boyfriend did the same.

Even though I have no sisters and only half-brothers, I know the dealing with brilliance feeling from my oh so superior cousin. I sympathize.

I think it's only natural to have that 'you're stealing my gig' feeling with your little sister.

I say keep on baking, no matter what the little whippersnapper does.

Jealousy. Selfishness. And, um, Retreat?

Who says she will be as good a baker as you, let alone better?

Who says that she will be the one asked to bring the desserts to family functions?

Who says that she will be the one to shine so brightly that it will shadow your talents and your gifts?

Um, that would be YOU who says those things. Without even giving it a try, you are giving up, giving in.

Maybe if she is at least as good as you as a baker, the two of you could open that bakery together. Maybe she couldn't do it without your intelligence and your sense of organization, let alone your inner voice that lets you know what the customer wants.

Maybe you should zoom out for a minute and see the bigger picture here and determine the potential and opportunity within.

Okay, so the Jewish mother/protective lion has reared its ugly head in my comments. But this is how I talk to my friends when they short change themselves and don't support their hearts' desires.

It's done out of intense caring (with just a hint of JAP superiority that I don't seem to be able to rid myself of).

Deal with it. Please.

I'm supposedly the older, "perfect" sibling and it sucks for us too. Siblings are supposed to compete and get jealous and you shouldn't feel guilty for feeling jealous.

I know how you feel. With a set of 3 sisters, I think that feeling like this every so often is completely natural.

I think I kinda 'stole' my sister's thing when I started blogging, and I feel bad about it. But then again, I love it, and she was the one who suggested I start one in the first place (I think)...

Anyway, as you said, she'll probably change her mind. But if not, you'll get used to it eventually!

PS - I'm sure there's more that's 'yours' as well - if you talk to your sisters, I'll bet they have different perceptions on the matter!

My oldest sister was really smart, too. She did research on all sorts of things...
Here praying as always!
Psalms 18:28-30 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

I'm with Moosh. Except I don't like to cook. And I'm secretly happy my Evil Sister (who's a certified genius) doesn't have her own blog.

BTW? You are brilliant.

Whatever, if my sister learned how to cook? I'd cut her in her sleep.
It's all I have.
Well, and if she started a blog.
Your feelings? Justified.
And yes. It does blow.
Sorry.
