It's not just me!!!

Jennifer was telling me a story about dealing with the ticket agent at the airport. The woman kept calling her "sweetie" and "dear." Jennifer finally leaned over to her and asked her to stop doing that, because it is offensive. See??? It's not just me!!!

Jennifer and I were roommates for a few years...a million years ago...when we were students at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She lives in the Denver area now with her awesome four year old daughter and husband. So, you may be wondering, "When did Christine have time to visit Denver?" You're so silly. Jennifer is in town visiting family. We were fortunate enough to be able to have dinner together tonight. As always, we had a great time and I enjoyed her company more than I can say. Good times.

Using my new "Happy Mother's Day To Me/Happy Birthday To Me" digital camera, I took our picture. Not too bad, huh? I would put the "a million years ago" picture up next to this one...I have it handy, in fact...it's on my fridge for entertainment purposes. But, we look like a couple of whores in that picture and I don't particularly want to share that image with the world... you might think less of us. It was the '80s. It was Halloween. We thought we were sexy and cool.

I like the mature and wise women we've become who still have our sense of humor, think alike, hate terms of endearment, like to make fun of people and can finish each others' sentences. Aside from those things, though, this is an enduring friendship for so many other reasons. We have a bond that I can't explain. It could just be, because I'm afraid that if I turn on her she'll tell all my secrets or it could just be that Jennifer is like a sister. She is family. I love it when she comes home and I hate to see her leave.
