"The Chic Patrol" - Friendship is everything!!!
This post is very dear to me… It depicts a very special exclusive club that I have the privilege to belong to, called, “The Chic Patrol.” Do you have a friend or two that means so much to you that breaks all the rules of "blood is thicker than water?” If you do, congratulations! You are lucky! Although I know that family is fundamental, and incredibly important, I learned that some people can become your family without carrying over some of those crazy genes that you can’t get rid of, because basically you are stuck with it. Why are you looking at me like that? Yeah, you know… You love your family, but you didn’t choose them… They are great! Wonderful!!! But you remember when you were pregnant, right? Praying here and there so your kid wouldn’t inherit uncle Bob’s screwed up genes. Anyway… Jokes aside. What I’m saying is, these friends are basically family to me, and I’m so proud and lucky to have found them in a world full of lunatics, that my life wouldn’t be the same if I hadn’t. I love them dearly, and I would do anything I could to protect them from being hurt, or help them finish that pitcher of... ice tea crying out for help. Lol! That’s what friends are for, right? Why ‘Chic Patrol?’ Well… This whole thing started when I bought my van. We thought to ourselves, “Great, now we can pack the whole gang and cruise the town." So we did. We laughed. We cried. We fought. We had each other’s back. We listened to jazz, blues. We sang. We supported each other when the other one was in distress (and we still do). The van became this sort of crazy mobile patrolling the town for fun. So here’s to you girls. You know how much I love my family and how sick you are from hearing about how much I miss them… Guess what? You are my family too! The ones with no blood attached, but the ones by choice, by real life experiences, history, growth, and real sisterhood… I hope this corny post embarrasses the heck out of you just like I always do when I get emotional… Hehehehehe! Just, remember… I’m always here for you! :) Now get off the computer and get your butt back to work… Let’s rock the boat this weekend! The school is almost back in session and Monday we’ll all be back to the old grind again. Luv ya!
Cheers,
