Shout Out To My Girls

I feel like lately I've been surrounded by boys.  Well, a few men, but a lot of boys.  I live with 3 boys, I work with all boys/men in the kitchen.  Some days I'm the only female at work.  So, I wanted to give a shout out to the special girls in my life.

This is my sweetheart, The Fuzz.  She is so cute and cuddly and she purrs (now) when I pet her.  She's come a long way geographically and spiritually.  She is my alltime favorite female cat ever!

So, my next girl is my BFF.  I can't post a picture of her, because this is supposed to be anonymous.  Let's see if I can post a photo of her boat.

Here it is!  It's a lovely vessel that is berthed (?) in Lake Meade.  Anyway, my BFF has been in my life for... 26 or 27 years?  Well, since summer band in 7th grade.  We don't always keep in touch regularly, but she is there for me whenever I need her.  She is the best bestest friend ever.  We have had a lot of firsts together.  First time at band camp, first time watching each other get drunk, first time trying to roll a joint for some strange boys we met at the lake, first time going away to college, first time living in a dorm, first apartment in cracktown, first time watching each other getting tattooed, and there's way more others that I can't remember or can't say.

So, the next girl is my oldest sister.

She has had a lot of life experience.  Yet she still approaches new experiences with the wide eyed enthusiasm of a young girl.  She has three beautiful boys with their own bold and distinct personalities.  And she's creative, headstrong, passionate and absorbs life like a sponge.  She an actor, director, poet, musician, dancer, etc.  She's travelled the country and lived in different areas, as have I.  She lives in the mountains, I live near the ocean.

The last girl is my other sister.  She is a pillar.  She does her own thing.  She's respected.  She has an air of mystery about her.  She is deliberate and contemplative.  She is is easygoing and observant.  She just bought what would be termed as a splurge for her.  I would call it a necessity.  She needed a car, so she bought a Volkswagen Eos.  I haven't seen it, but I believe it looks something like the one in this ad:

And she's ready for the next big thing in her life, whatever that may be and wherever it may take her.  She does have an obstacle to overcome, hopefully a small one, in the way of waiting for medical results.  I'm hoping for good news as she deserves it.  I'm not one for praying, but maybe in lieu of prayer I can talk to my mom and have her send good vibes in my sister's direction.

I love all my girls.  You are all beautiful and wonderful beings that I have in my life, even though I might not say it often enough.  You all are huge influences in my life (yes, even The Fuzz) and I am happy and grateful for that!
