Reason #7,261 you need girlfriends in life.

November20

Last night, 7:13 p.m.

Me: “Katie? Are you at home?”

Katie: “No, I’m at dinner with some friends… but what’s wrong?”

Me: “I… I… {sob} justneedtotaaaaaaalk.”

Katie: “Go directly to my house.  The door is unlocked.  Go to my bedroom, get in my bed and I’ll be right there.”

Me: {sob, sob, sniffle} 

Ten minutes later, Katie enters her bedroom to find me under the covers in, um, her bed.

Katie: “I got my food to go so I could be here faster.”

Me: “You left Cracker Barrel for me?”

Katie: “Yes.  Now, speak.”

You know it’s real friendship when they’re willing to leave the endless supply of biscuits and cornbread to come listen to you cry in their bed.

    okay, but I must say…while I appreciate that her door was unlocked for you…I’m a little concerned for her safety by leaving it unlocked all the time…
