Friend Making Monday*

* yes, I know it's Tuesday. At least I make the effort thank you much. hahaha.


So I figure I want to start being more active on here and making friends so why not join in on some of the fun activities. This week Friend Making Monday is being sponsored by Kelli at Outside My Kitchen Window while Kasey is on vacation with her family! So here is this week's topic:

Tell us about your BFF...where did you meet, was it BFF at first sight, how long have you been friends, etc.

What makes him/her your BFF...what is it about this person that makes him/her so special to you?


And without further ado... let me introduce my bestie and my favorite lush:







There she is ladies and gentlemen, Cassie. This is my sister, my traveling gypsy and the woman that will always be my heart. She is the black to my white cookie. She loves the sun while the sun and I are mortal enemies. We are meant to be forever. I may tear up... forgive me. She has been away for a few weeks teaching and visiting family in South America. She will be home for exactly11 days before I hopefully can drive her/with her to the airport and drop her off for her year of teaching in JAPAN. Yes, the bitch is moving across the world for a year. Who the hell am I supposed to call when I have a freak out, an emotional breakdown, when my mother makes me want to hurt myself, when I ace a test, when I start my first clinic shifts as a holistic health care practitioner? Then again I will see her in November, she if flying into LA for a friends wedding and I'm going to meet her there and be her date for a week.

So, we have known each other since high school. We did not like each other, we had a mutual friend who was POISON. The first semester after high school I was living down the hall from her with one of her best friends and it just all started then. We bonded and over the next year it developed and grew every time she came home from school in Florida. Then she moved back to Jersey and convinced me to transfer to Rutgers. And after my first semester there she moved to Hawaii. The bitch. I am noticing a pattern of her leaving. She always come back to Jersey but she is my traveling gypsy. I wish I was able to travel the world with her, one day I will. I admire her for so many things. Sometimes she drives me bananas but at the end of the day my life would be completely empty without her. She is an inspiration to me and I love her with all my heart. Damn you waterworks. I knew this would be a hard one to do... but I will persevere. Exactly 7 days til I can look at her pretty brown face (cus after being in Cali surfing and in South America bitch is gonna be purple) and then in 10 days we hit the road for a full weekend of besties! Thank something. Then she leaves me.


I just wanted to put this photo cus it was taken at her Aunt's house and its a brownie in the shape of a heart. And it reminds me of her. We've been through a lot in the last almost decade. And I hope that one day we will be those little old ladies that go on dates with one another. Cus if we don't grow old with anyone else, at least we will have each other.
