Happy As A Clam

Confession: I generally get along better with men than with women. Yeah, I'm one of those girls...

...who understands:
SportsNation, consuming incredible amounts of chicken wings*, Nintendo games, mud, vintage cars

...and doesn't "get":
pink, gossip, marathon shopping days, cattiness, fashion, The Bachelor

Don't get me wrong, I happily get together for coffee, savor luscious bits bars of dark chocolate & watch my favorite chick flicks on repeat like no body's business! (Is this ingrained into our estrogen, or something??)

But I've also been found in sports jerseys telling the ref how I really feel & waiting hours in line for a sneak peak showing of Star Trek.

So, needless to say, when I find other women who are cut from the same awesome cloth, I'm happy as a clam! I'm all about casting Comedic Actresses in my life story, sparing the drama.

Bethany is one such lady. We met in calculus class almost a decade ago [insert gaping open mouth as that dawns on me] & we've had a girly case of the "like likes" for each other ever since. I'm convinced that her heart weighs more than she does.


(I'm thinking of getting this for us. You should get one for you & your bestie too!)

Announcement: Today is Beth's birthday!!


Last year, I took her (& her fabulous mama) to a concert by the stupendous Tyrone Wells. She's attending another one for her birthday this year! (I sense a tradition brewing if Tyrone keeps up his rad touring style.) I can't be there so I'm dedicating this jam to her...



Call one of your girlfriends today. Write a card, look through old pictures, relish an inside joke.

Cherish the girlfriend bubble!

One last thing..have a great day/birthday/Easter on purpose!



*Alex told me that he held his breath on our first date as the waiter asked for my order fearing I may be a non-eater. Then I proposed that we get the appetizer sample just to start with. I likewise held my breath when he asked Alex how he wanted his steak cooked. Medium rare. Then, we both secretly thought "Phew! OK, I can keep this one around." I know realize this was a random blurb that totally takes away from the theme of this post. Oh well! Crap happens, eat chocolate (with a friend)! Better yet! Eat the ears off a chocolate bunny today.
