Eh-steem Train

I've always stuggled with self-esteem issues. But, in case you were wondering, this post is not about self-esteem. Its about best friends.

I have two of them. One lives far away, the other lives close. I know they both know about each other and they are both friends to each other. It's awesome actually - I know they both care for each other, so most times I speak with the one that is far away or get together with the one that is close, they ask about the other one. Sometimes, though, I go a week or more not seeing or speaking with either one of these people and thats when the self-esteem drops.

But then, I see a FB post from one that she is going to go out with her "bestie".

And then, one of them calls and leaves a message that goes something like this: "Hey. I keep having to leave messages and you'd think that when a best friend calls, she wouldn't have to keep leaving messages for her best friend and that her best friend would fulfill her duties as a best friend and just call her best friend back. Anyway, I miss you, I love you and call me."




I love my friends.





Do your friends know that you love them??

Inspiration Collision

So, I was just inspired by a friend to blog again. She said something like, "So many funny things happen to you, you should keep a blog!" I thought, "I do have a blog, but I haven't written in it for a while." Another certain person used to ask me for more blogs and I just ignored her requests because I felt like there was really nothing to say.

Well, as I tried to write a succinct Facebook status, I realized this: facebook statuses are really good for things that are something less than about 20 words. Beyond that, they become rants. Blogs. Maybe they are actually mini blogs.

The mini blog I tried to status today was going to be something like, "April Barratt wants her car back. We were backed into on a highway (yes a 55 mph state highway) by some lady. But wait, it gets better. She backed into us with her horse trailer. She never called in to make a claim and now we are trying to get our Trooper fixed. I just got off the phone with her insurance agent who blew me off and treated me like I was 10. Now *I* have to call the claims people??"

Wow. Thats 81 words. Thats more than a mini blog.
