I Hate To Miss It
One of my very good friends is turning 40 this weekend. I had been invited to the party but since it's in Florida I'm just not going to make it.
But ohhhh do I want to. The GRIEF I would give that girl....
You see - she and I have a very unique friendship. We've been friends for almost 10 years now. We worked together at Trop. In fact, we were traveling partners for years.
Dallas? She almost got us killed and we ended up doing drunken karaoke in front of Walmart's upper management. Did get me an offer to join the "Walmart Choir", but still.....ugly. Just ugly.
Phoenix? Hehehehe. We stayed a week at the Biltmore. Let's just say, that place will never be the same.
New Orleans? Yeah, we won't go into that right now. The pictures are actually locked up in a neutral location for safe keeping......
AND, it was her wedding that I sang at that led to the Disney Wedding Singer gig.
Yeah, we got us some history.......add to that the fact that she was always trying to "fix" me.
It made her crazy that I wasn't a big "dater". I'm kinda picky, not to mention very shy at that kind of stuff. So she was always trying to help me out.
Like for instance my hair. She HATED my hair. Too short. Too curly. Hated it. Oh, she'll love it now, and I'll never hear the end of it. But for YEARS she never let up.....
Oh, and if you only knew how many times she broke the rules and tried to fix me up. Hell, one time she tried to set me up with the guy who is now her husband - for cryin' out loud..........that's just wrong.
And we won't even TALK about clothes.....
So yeah, I'd LOVE to be at her 40th birthday party. I've got lots to make up for. But the good news is we're going to try and get together when I'm down there in January. It won't be the same as public humiliation, but I'm sure I can make it work for me.....
Hmmmm...I'm thinking dinner out at a really nice restaurant with me and a wig......
