We Want to Know Wednesday Q&A

I'll admit it, I'm nosey. Isn't everyone to a certain extent? It's when you take it to the next level and snoop in your friends medicine cabinets and under their bathroom sink that it becomes an issue. 


So to help curb our appetite of curiosity here is the first edition of the new weekly linky, We Want to Know Wednesday Q&A **WWTK**, hosted by Impulsive Addict, Janette, Mamarazzi and yours truly. 




1. Do you make friends easily? Honestly, I'm not sure. I find it rather easy to enjoy the company of others, I laugh and cut up with them and I always have a great time when I meet new people but rarely do I meet someone and just know that we are going to be great friends. I have lots of friends that would actually qualify more as acquaintances than friends. 


2. What 3 qualities are a must in a friend? 1.} Knowing when to listen and when to offer advice. Unsolicited "help" is not something I necessarily want, I just want someone to listen to me when I need to vent. 2.} They have to love {or at least be able to fake it} my husband and kids. Sadly, sometimes your husband and kids can be deal breakers in a friendship. It's always a bonus when you find someone whose husband becomes your husbands friend.  3.} A sense of humor or the ability to accept mine. If we can't laugh at everything and anything that will make for a very long GNO!


3. What makes you a good friend? Well I hope several things. I try to keep it real, if those pants make your ass look big I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm funny and can take being laughed at {Lord knows I've done enough stupid stuff to deserve it}. I'm giving, if I have it and you want it or need it I'll share. Except my ice cream and my husband, those two things are off limits! 


4. Have you ever met a bloggy friend in real life? Yes? Tell us about your meet up. No? Who would you love to meet? Yes! I have met Becca from the Texas Darlings 

We chatted over a Patron margaritas! 

and Shawn from Swaneesinger.

She is gorgeous, so freaking tiny and sadly doesn't blog anymore!

   
You can read the story of my adventure with Becca here {this is actually Becca's post because I cannot find mine. Oh, I hope I didn't delete it on accident!} and with Shawn here. And I am super excited to hang out again with Becca and meet Vivienne, Impulsive Addict, JennyKate and Jen in May. 29 days Ladies. 29 days!


5. Who is your best friend? Tell us about them. I have more than one best friend. It's funny when I was my daughters age I was just like her. I thought the friends I had in high school were going to be my life long friends. We were going to get married together, have kids together, vacation together, we were always going to be apart of each-others lives. Funny how that changes when you actually do get married, have children and move across the country! You know what they say, you have friends for a season and friends for a reason! 


Danielle- Is my daily, more like multiple times a day, dose of friendship and reality. I really don't think there is anything she doesn't know about me and we're still friends! Our husbands are friends and our children refer to us as Aunt and Uncle. We vacation together, cry together, support each other, laugh together and have lunch together almost every Thursday! We met when Honey was in her 1st grade class, if she can teach my child and still want to be my friend than she's definitely a keeper. I'm just sayin'! 

Rebecca- I'm sure you've heard me reference the "triangle" well Rebecca is the third point of that triangle. Danielle, Rebecca and Shawn, together we are the triangle, it's actually more like the Bermuda Triangle, others have tried to get in but have only gotten lost. Like Danielle she knows it all and has continued to stick around. Our husbands are friends, I am Aunt Shawn to her children and I know without a shadow of a doubt she would be by my side in my time of need! Out of the three of us, she is the nice one, and has to keep us in line more often than not. I met Rebecca when I walked Honey into her first day of Kindergarten, she was her teacher. I knew instantly that we would be friends! 

Natalie- Is one of those friends that I met and just knew we were destined to be friends. I truly believe God made our paths cross. Isn't it funny how He just knows what you need and when you need it! She has moved away but our bond has not left!

Pam- This chick is always put together, even at 3 in the morning when she comes to pick up her child who had just gotten sick all over Peanuts bedroom from eating too much junk at a sleepover. Talk about intimidating! My first impression of Pam was "damn, does she ever not look like Barbie?" I never saw us as friends but am so glad I was wrong, I have no idea what I would do without her. Her husband makes up one point of my husbands triangle, yes, he has one too, and I love her daughters. It's a win, win friendship!

Alisa-   I thought Pam was the only one always put together but was proven wrong the day I met Alisa. She could wear a burlap sack and make it look good! She is reserved unless a cup of ice is nearby {total inside joke that I cannot share, sorry}, level headed, soft spoken, calm, professional and always knows the perfect question to ask. She, like the others, would do whatever I needed to be done without a second thought. Her husband is point number three of the mens triangle and couldn't be any more opposite of her! 

When all of my friends and families are together we are an estrogen bomb waiting to explode. Together we have 11 girls and 1 boy. They are 16, 13, 13, 12, 11, 10, 8, 8, 8, 6, 6 {the only boy} and 3. 


I am blessed beyond measure to have these incredibale ladies a part of my life! These are my girlfriends, the ones I can always count on, the ones I love so very much!


I cannot make a list of my best friends without including Babe, he has been my true best friends and the love of my life for almost 25 years ! My Mom and my Sister are also my friends, they are always exactly where I need them to be and always know exactly the right thing to say. I cannot wait for the day to come when I get to see my girls become friends!
