Sounds like me and my sister!  :-)  We are as opposite as day and night!  :-) 
 Somehow we manage to keep "speaking", but at times I don't know how.  
Unfortunately, she affects my sweetie the same way--she rounded off at him 
the last time we got together SO BAD that he threatened not to go to my 
folks' house anymore (Eileen still lives at home, too).  She did apologize 
that time, to the astonishment of all.......
Happy Crafting!
