What I love most about girlfriends

An ode to my girlfriends ('cause I'm a pimp),

Girlfriends are wonderful
Girlfriends are great.
They look you up and down
and tell you to, "Wait!"
As they quickly fix your hair and makeup.

"Now, you're perfect, go forth and conquer the world."

They build you up and ease you down. They've been there before you have or vice versa and you've got a guide to help you stay on the path. Need to know what it's like having a baby? I've got plenty of mama's for friends now.

How about advice on wedding venues, photographers and dresses? I can pick at random from the array of gal pals who are all so unique in their personal stylings that I'm bound to land on something I like.

I am eternally grateful for having surrounded myself with such wonderful women to lean on and learn from.

So now, could some of you please hold off on the baby making so our kids can play together? Just wait, say....a decade? Awesome, thanks, love ya!

  1. Girlfriends are also excellent for pointing out unfortunate usages of certain colors and modes of space travel in close proximity. How did that not make the list?!

  2. 1) It took me repeating what you wrote about five times for me to get it.
    2) I'm appalled I didn't include this as to why girlfriends are so great.
    Except 3) You didn't tell me until after I'd already let the cat outta the bag. Or the rocket offa the launchpad, eh, eh?
