"True" Friendship

None of that Sissy Crap



Are you tired of those sissy "friendship" poems that always sound good, but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that actually speak of true friendship. You will see no cutesy little smiley faces on this card- Just the stone cold truth of our great friendship.


1. When you are sad -- I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry ^%$*(&^^ who made you sad.

2. When you are blue -- I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.

3. When you smile -- I will know you are plotting something that I must be involved in.

4. When you are scared -- I will rag on you about it every chance I get.

5. When you are worried -- I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be until you quit whining.

6. When you are confused -- I will use little words.

7. When you are sick -- Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have.

8. When you fall -- I will point and laugh at your clumsy butt.

9. This is my oath ... I pledge it to the end "Why?" you may ask; "because you are my friend".



Friendship is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel it's true warmth.



Remember: A friend will help you move. A really good friend will help you move a body. Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel...

How very true is this? I've got lots of shovels and I'm not afraid to use them

How about 2 rooms at Pop? I actually really enjoy Pop not that I don't LOVE the Poly but I'm just a whole lot happier when I get home and get my CC bill after a Pop stay.

How about a cabin in Fort Wilderness. Very spacious and very quiet.

Well, I have four 13-gallon kitchen garbage bags full of clothes to give away. I have went through everything except 2 drawers in my dresser which has my shorts/summer clothes and my t-shirts.

The sad thing is I found a really nice suit that I have no idea when I bought and don't remember wearing. I've been wanting a nice suit! I also found a lot of clothes that were 2 sizes too small which I thought I had gotten rid of. I know that I will never be a size 8 again. I just want to get back to a comfortable 10 (I was there last year for 8 months) and stay there. When I started my weight loss with the DDA, I was starting to wear 14's. Thank goodness I'm not back up to them. I'm in a comfortable, almost too big size 12 or an uncomfortable, tight 10.

It's nice to get rid of the old and make way for the new. I'm sure you will lose those stubborn lbs and feel comfortable again

How do you keep something from a friend, but at the same time keep your promise to the friends mother?

One of my friends(I have known her for 30 years)sister is not doing well. Hospice has been called in & the mother is staying with her in St Louis. My friend went to see her sister last week & was told that she probably has a few months. Today I receive an email from the mother telling me that she was told today that she probably has only a week if even that. She is coming home tomorrow to take care of a couple of things & then will head back. She does not want me to say anything to my friend, she wants to tell her when she gets home tomorrow.

My friend works part time where I work & will be there in the morning. How am I suppose to face her knowing this & not able to say anything? I feel horrible & I know we will be talking about her sister, she is really tore up abut this. I am friends with her mother, I am sure that is why she emailed me & I know the sister as well. My heart is breaking for them all(the sister is only in her 40's).

I won't say anything, but it will be so hard facing here tomorrow

 

[tinknme]

I need to learn this lol

I'm off to bed. I want to get up early and get to the recycling center, the grocery store & St. Vincent's. I can't take all the clothes to Vinnie's but I can take the ones that I know won't fit the girls or are too old lady for them. The others I need them to go through to see if they want any of them. There are some really nice clothes that I hated to part with but I know it isn't practical to keep them. Clean House and Clean Sweep have really helped me in the last couple of years. Clutter is not your friend!

Thanks, Anne Marie! It looks like my family wants to go back to WDW for Christmas this year. Can you imagine how happy that made me?!?!

woohoo!

I won't say anything, but it will be so hard facing here tomorrow

I am in a similar situation--its hard! hang in there, i know tomorrow will be tough

Hi everyone-
Just got home from babysitting so wanted to catch up. Today was an okay day but we got some bad news at work--i cant go into it, but it was just a rough day..so happy weekend!

ill be dress shopping tomorrow then hanging out with the girls from work...cant wait!

Is it bedtime yet I'm pooped.

We managed to remove the rest of the wallpaper border, lay on another layer of durabond, remove old caulking and apply new to the window sills and Chris hit the dumb with a load of trash. I also got Hunter's room taped off for the trim painting. Looking back it doesn't seem like we accomplished much, but it took the better part of the day. I also ran out and picked up the new bedding that I had ordered for Hunter. The reds actually seem to match and I picked up the laundry hamper/sorter that I ordered for our camper. We went to the play that Nick is doing sound for. It was well done, much better than expected for a grade 5 - 8 production. Colby was so cute singing along to all the songs. I guess he's seen the Wizard of Oz a few times

We have bowling in the morning, then Nick is off to the matinee of the play. We will come home and Chris can sand while Mom and I paint the trim in Hunter's room. Then off to work for me.

So my enter key finally works! It's amazing how hard it is to function without it. We've had a busy night. After all the daycare kiddos left we had dinner and then ran out to take care of some errands. Came home and got the girls to bed. Since it's quiet here I finally worked on Mo's invite.

Tomorrow we have Mo's first soccer game and Emma has a birthday party for a girl she went to preschool with. Not sure what we are doing afterwards but we need to get to the grocery. Sunday is Emma's first soccer game, should be interesting dealing with the coach face to face! Then another birthday party for one of Emma's classmates. So not a relaxing weekend but that's life!

Today was not a good one at work for a few of you. Hope everything works out

Still only full size beds.

I've been lurking over on the boutique thread. I would really love to make Emma a Cars shirt for our trip. I used to sew quite a bit before I had kids. I made friends kids clothes, myself a few simple things and even a Christening gown.

Maybe if I finish my taxes tomorrow I'll "reward" myself with a trip to JoAnn's.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Love the invitation Robyn!
By the way, watched high school musical 2 tonight and thought about when we watched it at your house haha

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Sounds like a fabulous treat!! I couldn't sew a button on to save my life.

Now I really am off.
