Over the last two weekends, I spent time with two groups of girlfriends. One set I’ve known since we were in the fifth grade, the other set I’ve developed friendships with over the last eight years. I cannot begin to share how thankful I am to have the ladies as friends.
I am grateful for girlfriends…
- who are unafraid to tell me that I need a clothing intervention and graciously offer to come drink wine with me and remove said well-worn clothing from my closet
- who, even if months have passed since we last spoke, pick up like it was yesterday
- who can play backseat/passenger seat driver, shriek directions and instead of getting angry everyone just bursts out laughing
- who will make and eat tofu muffins with me and not take offense when others call said muffins “sketchy”
- whom I will readily accept freely given, unsolicited parenting advice, because I know it comes from a genuine, nonjudgmental place
- who praise my choice in my husband, and cite how scared they were that I was going to marry one of the many assholes I dated along the way
- who take over doing my hair and makeup when we go out because clearly my skills in these areas have not improved over the years
- who cheer me on when I face some of my biggest fears and celebrate successes of all sizes
- who are there, when necessary, to help pick up the pieces when life hands the unexpected
- who make me laugh hard enough that I nearly pee my pants and my abs hurt for hours later
- who recognize I need help and lend a hand before I even ask
- whom I learn new things about, even if I have known them for over 30 years
- who will dance with me –whether it be because we take over a quiet martini bar and turn it into our own, or are grooving to a band in a large beachside dive
- who make me caramel sugar scrubs and lotions so that I don’t smell like a sesame cracker from my failed homemade sugar scrub attempts
- who are unafraid to be honest with each other and calling bull$%&t if necessary
A big thank you to my girlfriends for making my world a much crazier and happier place!
