i have a really great friend. and the greatest thing about her, is that her greatness isn't the obvious kind. she's all things you would want in a friend, obvious. but what sets her apart, is when the situation really calls for it, she'll take things to a whole new level where you just sort say, huh?, and then laugh your ass off. ya know what i mean?
and my girl does it...without even trying.
like the time i was boo hooing about being so stressed at work and how my supervisor would not get off my back about little things like paperwork, she broke out in story, sharing that her teaching partner (very wrongly and totally falsely) turned her in to our boss for coming to work drunk everyday. and she said it as if she was saying she was snitched on for showing up five minutes late. wha whaaaa?? ha ha. random.
or at my bridal shower, when i was feeling a little awkward being the center of attention and not really knowing what to do with myself (which always happens to me at my own shindigs, ie why i avoid partaking in most), she busts out with the most personal, detailed, hilarious, inappropriate, graphic story of her husbands manhood and how it all related to her anniversary which happened to be the day before. i'm still laughing about it. literally, like right this second.
or today, when i was really sad. really, really sad. and without even prying or asking me to go into detail, she just knew i was blue. and rather than push me to talk, she listened when i needed her too. and after i shared what i wanted to. she let it go. sort of. she knew it was still not a great day, so when i grumpily told her i'd feel better if she did a cartwheel in the middle of our classroom. oh-no-she-didnittt. wait. yes. yes, she did. without any hesitation. and she did it well, with gusto. it was beyond the call of any great friends duty.
this is my pretty, silly, smart, amazing, super great friend.
get ya-self one if you can.
thank you for listening to me. being beautiful inside and out. making me laugh so hard i literally wet a little. and turning my frown...and your entire body... upside down.
you made my craptastic day, better. xo.
