Delicious Friendship


4.20.08. Two thoughts for today. First of all, I am completely in love with my friend's daughter. Her name is Riley and she is absolutely the bomb. Everytime I talk to Jen on the phone, Riley wants to talk to me and although she's only 3, we have extraordinary conversations. She'll ask me how Disney World is and tell me what she's being for Halloween even though it's a long ways away. She'll remind me of the fun we had over Christmas when I played Hungry Hungry Hippos with her she says she likes her new little sister but that she didn't like her at first in the hospital. The precious innocence of her voice and the twinkle in her eye when she tugs at my hand to show me her newest toy is magical. I look forward to the days when she is older and we can hang out together and I can tell her what a crazy girl her mommy was. Tear!

Other thought, I saw my juicy friend Liz this weekend. Lizard is a living, breathing fireball of fun. I hadn't seen her in 3 years, probably since our college graduation. She was one of the few people I clicked with while living in Illinois. When she and her hubby (my old boss from TGIF) moved an hour away from me in Florida, I was excited but we never ended up getting together. Finally I was going to be in the little seaside town of Melbourne for a concert so we would meet up for a drink but then at the last minute the concert was cancelled. I thought it'd still be a good opportunity for us to hang out so I went to visit her. It's awesome when you see someone who is just as you remembered them.
