okay.... I don't know that they really are better than your friends, but I do know that I have a really awesome circle of friends around me.... and this is how I know.
1. It isn't hard. I hated jr. and sr. high because fitting in and friendships seemed so hard. there was too much drama. with the friends I have now... there is none of that. we don't have to plan, or lie, or conspire to get together. We just do, and we don't feel bad about it.
2. They get me, and my amazing humor. clearly amazing is subjective.
3. They let me owe them money, and I let them owe me money.........
4. We hang out together because we really do enjoy each others company. We don't do it out of guilt, or obligation.
5. We have a lot in common. My friends scrapbook, I scrapbook. My friends have kids, I have kids. My friends like to drink, I like to drink. Enough said.
6. I love that sometimes when we are on the phone with each other, we will spend more time talking with our kids, and trying to distract them, than we do with each other.... and we are all okay with that.
7. I love that I can call up a friend, ask for something awkward (like treatment for a yeast infection for my daughter), and she will answer with..... I totally have some! My daughter gets them all the time! Come on over. And then when you do get there, she has a glass of wine waiting for you. (please know that my daughter was not in any agony while I was drinking wine, and not returning immediately with said yeast infection treatment.) (this post has exceeded my limit for talking about yeast infections.... and anything else related to bodily functions, and particularly feminine hygiene bodily functions.)
8. The silences between us are not awkward. If you know me, you know I like to talk. But sometimes, I get tired of talking, and there is silence. I don't mind these silences.
9. We laugh. a lot.
10. We have great private jokes. It is inevitable that at some point in our days together, something will happen that we in turn have to turn into a private joke. I love these........ some examples include, purple stickers, ba ba ba bangs, the lady with two bums, and on it goes....
So. I am not going to end this post with a sappy, hokey blah blah about how you have touched my lives..... I just want the "world" to know that I have some great great friends.
