(The title? Come on y'all, vintage Sawyer Brown!)
While I'm most grateful for this cute bunch today, I'd like to take a minute to be grateful for my friends. Oh yes, I have a few of them, don't look so shocked...
First, the original and still the best, Melissa. She's the devil on my left AND the angel on my right. How else would she be able to stick around so long...
While changing their dirty diapers, I never thought that my 4 oldest nieces would grow up to be 4 of my best friends, but here we are.
the one I'd go on a field trip with any day of the week, Bonnie May
the one I love getting late night calls from, Brianne Elizabeth
the one who knows what I look like doing "Superman! BANANA!", Brooke Suzanne
and the one who feels my sweat pain, Bethany Gates.
My dance partner Richard, who became one of my best friends our first Christmas as partners when he looked at me and said, "So...I like you, you like me, we don't have to get gifts for each other, right?" And then solidified our friendship when he later said, "Um, my dead gramma in her casket can spin faster than you." And his partner Solomon, who is wickedly intelligent but still treats me like a goddess. Bizarre, I know.
Hold on, I'm going to go so far as to add two more, who over the past year have become peas to my carrots. Everyone's Sugar Daddy, John Burns, who makes this list not just because his grammar is as good as mine, but because he gets me even though he doesn't like to admit it. (I'd add his wife Karen to this list but she's prettier than I, so screw that idea...)
..and the beautiful Antoinette Santoro, who makes me laugh for real, not the fake laugh that I usually use around most of you. Her sense of humor is so much larger than her chest, thank goodness, which is basically just average....
There! See? I have friends!
(Now, to hope that none of these people comment on this post with, "What? Who are you? Do I know you??")
