30

Sarah and I have been friends for almost 3 years now, and although it may not sound like all that long for 30 year olds Ha Ha- we have one of those friendships where it feels like we have known each other forever. It's one of those friendships where you don't have to work at making it great-it just is.
So to rub it in a little, and in honor of her finally joining me in the dreaded 30's, I thought about doing one of those "30 reasons i love you" lists but that's a little too lesbian-ish and I didn't want to get too mushy. Then I thought about 30 memories I have of her, but I have a terrible memory and that could also result in excessive mushiness or too much information shared with random people. And although the title makes it sound easy, 30 "random" things can be very limiting. So l was about to just settle for 30 "things" about Sarah, when it hit me...

30 random things about Sarah that bring back memories and remind me how much I love her in a totally non-lesbianish way.
Here ya go...

Ok I am jealous that I don't have a friend like that.

You forgot to say you told me you had written a card for me, but wouldn't say where to find it. My house got so messed up last night searching for this card. Thank goodness for your hint that the whole world could see it if they wanted to. I absolutely love having you as a friend. You make my life richer, and set a wonderful example for me. I love you so much and am so thankful to have you as the quackiest friend around! (1 more random thing: I am quite mushy! But I don't care!) That was the kindest card I have ever received. Thanks for the laughs...and the awesome memories!

Randi,
Now I found you here. We are at sharonandfernando.blogspot.com but I am nowhere near as funny as you. But thanks for the laughs. You looked so cute in NYC,almost like you weren't a mom of 3 kids although you still had that peaceful mom I-love-my-life glow. My worst compliment is when someone says "I look like a mom" which to me translates to wearing big bangs and pastels more than a decade after they are out. So, anyway, you look great and you are great.

Randi, you are the greatest! I hope you know how much you shine! I would love to get together again soon. Love you lots! (3 cheers for mushiness!)
