This past weekend I went out with some friends I have known forever. We danced the night away at a club in the big city. We talked until the wee hours of the morning. We had fun.
I think it's important to have those forever friends. These two woman helped shape my life.
We told stories from times gone by. We talked about things only girls who have known each other for 25+ years can talk about--- and we were all honest, even when we didn't agree.
I was reminded of things I did... and got to see myself through my friends eyes. What a gift. I would give my life for these girls.... they already have a part of my soul.
I am the bad girl.... I'm the one who actually does those things people talk about and I'll drag you right along with me! As I listened to my girlfriends talk, it amazed me that they remembered so much. They talked about how I took them to this place, or encouraged
them to talk to that person, or introduced them to this music, club, person, or what ever. I looked back and reminded them how the supported me and let me cry and listened to all my dribble.
I am the perpetual mother... if you need something, I am right there for you. I'll hold your hair back if you puke, I have a shoulder for you to cry on, I'll hold you all night and I'll even give you a kick in the ass.
I don't think I have changed that much in 25 years. Ive seen more and done more but inside of me is still the bad girl and the mom.
So here are just a couple of pictures (please don't laugh too loud)
Go call up an old friend, or drop them a line, and while your at it go out and get a little crazy--- it will do you some good!

I'm having Scorpio flashbacks...
Lorraine-- I only hope my kids will have friends like this 30 yrs from now.
Allan-- there are two scorpios--- can you guess who is the other one out of us 3?
The "money shot" needs explaining me thinks....
hspoke-- does it????
...I have my own explanation for the money shot that I'm quite satisfied with...thank you very much..:)
Bad huh!!!!! Never knew that. Always thought more of a doer than bad.
I have no old friends. Can I hang out with yours? No? That wouldn't be cool? ;)

Tehe. Erk but also awww. Good friends really do last forever. Only the good ones though..
Depressed?! It probably that little age thing coming on (even if you think its something else). I know, I too have not felt like myself lately. See I have just turned 40 and its been a little tough. I find myself thinking YIKES "hey I might be too old for that". But then I think what the hell, lets have a beer. HA!
What happened to those kids in the pic...they all grew up...how and when did that happen.
You are very lucky to have great friends. I really blows when friends loose touch. I also had this great old friend send me a card for my birthday but I have yet to contact her. A little busy, maybe. A little hesitant, maybe. But I think I just dont want to admit that we have not spoken to each other in such a long time and I do not even know why not.
If it is any consolation, you have turned out to be a great Mom, wife, and person!
Cheer up, and I quote
"remember when you were young, you shone like the sun, shine on you crazy diamond"!
anonymous mom--- thank you!!!
steve-- were you that creepy guy in the blue shirt?? I thought that was you!
Fuff-- good you see you around again
anonymous--i am wondering do i know you, or just your soul? write or call the old friend-- at least let them know you got the card

I was (am!) the instigator. The trouble maker. I always LOOKED like a bad, tough chick, but I had my posse (haha) to back me up!
