People let me tell you ‘ bout my best friends…(a little flashback to the theme song from “The Courtship of Eddie’s Father”)
Meet Pam and Tresa. We’ve been best buds since my freshman year in college. I won’t tell you how long that’s been, but I will say it seems just like yesterday. They live in the Washington D.C. area and this picture was taken there during the Christmas holidays.
These are the two women who know me inside and out. As I like to say, they know my dirt! We share our joys, our disappointments, our frustrations and most importantly we share a strong faith in God. I can always count on them to tell me when I’m way out of control and to give me sound advice.
We don’t see each other as often as we’d like but we talk every week. Also, we have nicknames for each other. Pam is the “Trashmonger”(don’t ask how we came up with that name), Tresa is the “Goober”, and I am “Nanny Num Num” because I had a tendency to do some not so “smart” things in college. They would tell you even after college I made some “num num” choices. Oh well, I’d like to see it as I added a bit of the “unpredicatable” element to the trio.
Pam is the solid, objective one. She is the champion for the underdogs of the world. Pam takes in stray dogs and loves having her quiet time with a cup of tea. But she does have an alter ego…when she puts on her long, black, fur coat and dark shades Pam transforms into Diana Ross!!! It’s hilarious!
Tresa is the one who wants to experience life and everything it has to offer. She has a warm, soft heart. And she tends to look at people through rose colored glasses…which isn’t a bad thing. She will give you the shirt off her back if you needed it and is always there for support and encouragement.
I won’t describe my personality in the friendship. Maybe they will write in and give you the scoop. (smile) Wouldn’t that be interesting??!! Hmmmm.
So, tell me about your best friends. I can’t imagine my life without my BFF’s.
Take Care,
Danita
p.s. Yes, that’s me with the glasses!
