That's what friends are for

Here we are... the three Amigas! I've known these gals forever. Gal 1 (behind me) was my college roommate, friend, and confidant. We laughed, cried, and sang together during our time at college... lost touch... and 22 years later here we are laughing, crying & singing again! Gal 2 (to my left) I met at church. We were leaders for the children's Wednesday night group... then got into BeautiControl together and were gainfully un-employed at the same time. Over the last few years we didn't see much of each other until now! Gal 2 and I had met at a local coffee shop a couple times & I had mentioned that I had another friend (Gal 1) whom I thought would enjoy some girlfriend time so invited her to come along the next time we went for coffee. Little did I know that the two of them would become instant friends! While at the coffee shop I noticed there was a bookcase in the corner that had stacks of board games on it... and suggested we play CandyLand. You remember CandyLand, don't you? We played three rounds (so we each won a game!) and were quite loud. Who knew CandyLand could be such a rowdy game?? To commemorate our first "date" (the three of us) we had some random guy take our picture. Thank goodness for camera phones!

Since then... we've gotten wiser - staying out of the coffee shop (before we got kicked out for being to rowdy) & more frugal... for the cost of one latte the three of us can make hot tea or lattes at my house. After trying out Tri-Ominos we moved on to SCRABBLE!! Because no one really wanted to keep score we decided to play for fun... which included making up some house rules! Things like BTW, OMG, FBI, CSI, CIA, ROFL and the like are allowed! If a word has been made plural and you happen to need that "S" to make your word - just take it! If you thought you had a word but were one square short of being on the board, it's okay to go outside the squares (by one letter). The list goes on. SCRABBLE purists will have a hissy fit...but too bad for them because we're having a blast!




We've had more laughs & good times and look forward to many more!
