I read lots of blogs.  When I have the time.  But that is a story for another day.

On Doula Mel’s blog she mentioned Best Friends.  I thought that would be a good change to my morbid subjects……

My first best friend in high school and I were inseparable.  We did everything, absolutely everything together.  To tell you the truth I would have been nothing without her.  She is amazing.  Sadly, as life happens we grew apart and have lives so far apart we cannot even try to pick up the pieces.  She still lives in the little town where we went to school.  She is married with three gorgeous babies and she is married to the guy we fell out about.  No, I did not want him.  Well, not when I’m sober…….

Long story, I was a student, she was a working girl.  I went home to the little town I grew up in.  We all got hopelessly sozzled.  I snogged the guy she liked (which btw I did not know she liked)…..  End of story. 

We have kinda found each other on facebook, but as I said our lives are just so different right now, I don’t think we will pick up the pieces soon.

During my first year in Stellenbosch we had to stand in queues for ages in alphabetical order.  It was horrible, the agony and humiliation.  The girl behind me and I got talking (even though we were not supposed to lol).  We still can’t stop talking.  We supported each other through exams, breakups, fuckups, disasters, everything.  When we see each other we shop, talk, drink, talk, share clothes, jewelry, makeup – everything!!  Best of all, her and Mr T get along like a house on fire.  And there is no-one on this earth I trust more than her.  She is amazing, really.

Where I live now I have met some pretty amazing women. 

There is the ex-model.  I used to think she pretty amazing before I met her.  Now that I have I think she is even more amazing.  Like any person she has issues, but she knows what she wants, when she wants, how she wants and she gets it.

The blond – no walks over this girl.  She is small in stature, but don’t cross her boy. 

The chef – she is super woman, running more operations than I can count, a household, schedules………….

The purple haired one – well not all her hair, just a few strands, also a successful business under her belt, she seems to keep the group together, always telling me tomorrow will be better when I feel like giving up.

The hairdresser – this is one cool chick.  Mommy, hairdresser, organiser or note – never a hair out of place, excuse the pun, always the perfect lady and in control.

The lawyer – the last time we got sozzled together she promised me a free divorce should I need it – no my friend not yet, but thanks for the offer.

The salon owner – yea another successful business person……… wow girls.

Writing this I just realised how blessed I am by all the friends who I have been blessed to meet and befriend, you guys are fabulous.
