A few of my fellow bloggers have recently posted something about friendship and friends. There must be something going around because I have got the bug as well. Yesterday I just felt so overwhelmingly grateful to have the incredible friends that I do. They always seem to be there just when you need them. I'm a bit emotionally high maintenance and it is a godsend to me to have such an amazing group of friends who put up with me, encourage me, support me, laugh with me, make me laugh, shop with me, hike with me, lose weight and inches with me, lift me up when I'm down, compliment and praise me when necessary, go to movies with me, go to chick-flicks with me, go to football games with me, watch football on TV with me, discuss Heroes with me, discuss Survivor with me, discuss Big Bang Theory with me (the TV show - not the scientific theory), discuss Religion with me, attempt to discuss politics with me (you know who you are ;), superpoke hug me on facebook at just the right moment, IM me just to say "hi", comment on my blogger posts, smile at me as you walk by, call me pet names, teach me, debate with me, challenge me, make me think and analyze, and apparently - like me (maybe even love or adore me)! Go figure!
But thank you to you all - for being such amazing and incredible people! I am so glad I have you all in my life.
Here it is all wrapped up in a nice cute little blog ... my so called life (or at least what I dare to publish and have pictures to prove).

Right back at you, cutie! Oh, and by the way, I am one of the ones who loves and adores you!
Man! Now I feel guilty for not jumping on the wagon with you. But as you know, I'm not much of a follower so I think I'll just wait a couple of months and then post some amazing heartfelt shout-out to all my homies (says the white girl) and then I'll look like an original.
BTW - I love and adore you too. xoxo
