Friday again

*Warning, this entire blog may not make sense to everyone, but I'm hoping those it refers to will get it.*


This week, I've been thinking A LOT about the wonderful people in my life. I know I often refer to my great friends and family on Fridays, and I absolutely treasure every single one of them. But today, I want to offer up thanks for a few specific people by remembering some moments that really stick out in my mind.

* Over text message.
me: it's a good idea, but its 11 at night. If we still need it tomorrow, I'll find someone. In the meantime, maybe you can say a prayer for us?
her: Of course we will. We always do.

*One little one- who found me in New Hampshire, who reminded me that I am pretty (even without a hair dryer or makeup for a week) who has a big heart that encompasses anyone who needs it, who is an amazing mama to 4 adorable kidlets, who gives great advice, who revised her rules to include TWO handfuls of marshmallows, who lives only a few miles away. It was great seeing you- so glad we are friends!

*My sista from anotha motha (that doesn't sound as cool for girls). Late night pedis=O ring discussions, drama-drama-drama, TMI and stuff I never thought I wanted to know. Love you, SIL. You rock!

*In person convo, about men in general, and one in particular.
-me: "I don't know. No, I do. No, I don't. I hate this. I hate this. I hate this." (insert dramatic sigh and full body flop on her couch). "Why do I have to do this? WHY?"
-her: "This is a conversation 15 year olds would have."
-me: "I know. I know. I know. Do you mind that?"
-her: "Not at all! I love that!"

*late night phone conversation
-me: "I want a list. I want a list, list, list, list, list. I NEED a list. I need a list, list, list, list, list. I like lists. I do well with lists. I understand lists. "
-her: "Well, there is a list. I can give it to you in spanish. Which you don't understand."
-me: "I want an english list. This will be easier for me if I have an english list."
-her: "You can write as many lists as you want. The Big Guy just might have other items for your list that are not apparent to you right now."
-me: "Dang it. He's always messing with my lists."
-her: "Don't I know it."

I am so grateful for these types of people in my life. What would I do without you guys to remind me how far I've come, talk me off the ledge, and provide your own brand of friendship and love? Thanks. With everything I am and all I'm trying to be....thanks.
