Megan, Elysia, and Heather and three of my best buddies ever. At the risk of embarrassing them, especially elysia, here's why:
Megan and I... well, we just get each other. I love our honest, real conversations. And the mutual "pushing" and unconditional love. And she's really just amazing.
Elysia and I... well, here's an example from this AM:
(we're on the phone, both of us had just gotten up)
me: so I spent like 50 dollars on myself yesterday trying to do some therapy shopping. I kinda feel bad about it. (it was totally impulse, out of budget and unnecessary. rather than telling me that I did, in fact, make a bad decision, she says...)
elysia: it's okay! you could just say it's your birthday present to yourself.
me:I already bought my present to myself.
e: just add to it then.
... a few minutes later...
e: paul left me a treat. a bag of oreos. I meant to eat breakfast first. but I'm eating oreos... I told myself just one... but...
me: it's okay, you're pregnant. eat up!
(we're just all about encouraging and validating one another... it's amazing... I love you, Elysia.)
(heather and I, just a few minutes ago)
heather: I should be fine! that's the whole reason I have six holes in my stomach. I mean five. so if it makes me sick I've got bigger problems
... separate comments about different things...
me: well, we could always take a wheel chair in my car just incase you get tuckered out...
...
me: I am taking a break. that's what GR is about. I'm gonna make everyone carry me while Im there.
h: we could share the wheel chair!
me: yeah... I could sit on your lab... maybe you should sit on my lap... Im pretty sure Id hurt your surgery if I sat on yours. We could make Jim push us.
h: there you go.
me: well, that could be scary.
h: true. we'd probably both end up back in the hospital. (sorry, Jim!)
...
h: you're up a level by getting things thrown at you. it's a good thing!
(this probably doesn't seem funny to you, but the convos are truly hysterical in person. and this post is more about remembering, anyhow)
