I have been walking around since I got back from Houston yesterday patting myself on the back.
Seriously. As if I did something spectacular...
I am so proud of myself for having such unbelievable girlfriends.
I mean I am good. DAMN good at choosing top-notch, high quality, genuine, could-not-do-better-if-i-custom-ordered GF's. I have written about girlfriends before. I am just in awe of how meaningful these relationships can be!
(Read this - it's old and I promise 90% of you have never seen it.)
My friend T in Houston has a beautiful home and is a wonderful hostess. She heated up the pool and hot tub for us. (I have to quit typing every few seconds to scratch the sun burn on my back...)
My friend R lives here in Dallas - though we rarely get to see each other - we drove down and back together. It's the shortest four hour drive EVER when we travel it together.
Our friend S lives in Toronto and she flew in for the occasion. I am so flattered that she would go to all that trouble to be with us.
We have all worked together at the same company over the past twelve years and have a lot of the same business associates. Common experiences. Have traveled together - as a group and in pairs - on endless business trips and conventions.
Oh, the war stories we tell...
And those that we don't. (grin)
The really cool thing - to me - is that professionally - these women have all at one time or another acted as a mentor to me. Sometimes unknowingly. But all are phenomenally talented, composed and SUCCESSFUL in their jobs. I have observed them in action over the years and taken so much from them that has added to my own professional accomplishments.
the bonus - not only are they exceptional professionally - they are outstanding women on a personal level as well. compassionate, witty, fun-loving, passionate, accepting and so on and so forth...
Please, someone, tell me - how does it get any better than that?
so anyway - i am pretty button-popping pleased with myself today.
I did a damn fine job of picking out my girlfriends!
on a more humble note - I am most grateful they chose me too. I aspire to add as much to their lives as they do to mine!

Friends, GOOD friends keep me sane.
Last week, I walked into the kitchen at work & my friend J was in there. She took one look at me and wrapped her arms around me & gave me the biggest, squishiest hug I've had in a long time. Never said a word, just hugged me.
I didn't realize how bad I needed that hug until I got it.
"Please, someone, tell me - how does it get any better than that?"
It doesn't.
It doesn't surprise me that you have such wonderful friends, T.
You are probably as good a friend to them as they are to you.
OF COURSE they chose you!
Shit, I'm choosing you. Chose you. Whatever.
I have received background information almost 100% confirming my presence in Texas this summer. Shhhh don't tell anyone. We're getting together unless some miniscule bastard percentage says otherwise!
So very glad that you had a wonderful time with your chicks. Like you, I adore mine. I'm grateful beyond words and would lay down my life for them. I'd rather have a tight circle of lovelies than a huge crowd of followers.
What a wonderful post. A wonderful picture. You deserve every moment!
Awwwwww....I LOVED that post....
I'm sure your friends feel the same way about you.
