I can say this much. These girls are coming with me on my Chicago adventure. And that, in and of itself, says a lot. They VOLUNTEERED. They are coming along to see me break down in front of a painting. Do I really have to say anything else about how awesome they are?
Well I will. And I've decided to do it in reverse alphabetical order. Only I can't tell you their names, so you'll just have to trust that I know my alphabet.
This is Becca. That's what I'll call her. We went to junior high and high school together. Both of our maiden names are so similar, that our lockers were right next to one another. And we used to talk between classes about life. And hair brushes. And boys. And football games. And silly things. See how silly? I love silly.
And then we planned our ten-year reunion together. And we both said, "Why didn't we talk MORE between lockers?" And isn't that always a bitch? What you missed out on in high school? At least we both have that in common.
And, thank God, there's always the future. She's awesome. She's funny. And satirical. And self deprecating. And sarcastic. Did I say satirical? And she LOVES GIMLETS!!!! And, hold applause please, she does one hellofan Elaine dance. And that says it all.
She also has a beautiful family. A husband and son who are generous enough to let me have her for this adventure. And I thank them. I will take care of her. Promise.
And, super bonus, it looks like this family venue is also a pub. Which means Becca and I have even more in common than I had imagined. Meaning pub=family venue. Fo sho.
And my very favorite pic. THE one that says that Becca loves a good adventure, and is nurturing that in her wee one.
Fantastic, right?
