Let's do lunch.....

This post will illustrate what a F.I.C. I really am...

I just got back from a wonderful lunch date with my friend Brig...

But let me tell you.. This was no easy task... it snowed quite a bit and the streets were absolutely lousy ...I even offered her an out, saying if it was too nasty to meet we could reschedule.. She'd have not of that... She was ready to meet for (therapy) lunch... come hell or high water.. or in this case.. snow storm...

The F.I.C ism comes into play because....I'm feelin kinda guilty about it..

you see...

Brig and I have been friends for a long... long... time. Our children basically grew up together.We lived across the street from each other on a cute street where all the houses were little cookie cutter cut outs of each other...all the same ... Most of us newly married with children all in the same boat types.
We have been through alot together .... ALOT....

The thing about Brig is, that although we do not get together often, I feel (at least on my end)that she is one of my best non family support systems. She knows way more then she probabay should about me.. and I too know way more then I should about her. The reason this works is .... TRUST and RESPECT...

I trust her not only to keep her lips sealed, but trust her advise and counsel as well.

She let's me bounce things off her without making me feel like a weirdo.. and I hope I do the same for her.

I respect her, I know she is a woman of character who has done a fabulous job with her kids, who is the first one in line to help someone out.. and carries herself with dignity and pose.. ( I know I know.. I could learn alot about that....) what can I say ... some people get that kind of grace through their DNA... some have to work alittle harder...hmmm.

So the reason for the guilt???

Because... we don't get together (in person) too often, our lunches tend to run about 3 to 4 hours long !!!!

I know what you're thinking... WHAT in the heck can you talk about for 3 to 4 hours...

People... You would be surprised..

I'm no genius .. but I do know one thing. these kinds of friends don't come along everyday.

Some people NEVER have someone like that in their lives.

I have been blessed with so many good friends... and Briggy is one of my dearest...

Now if I could just get over the Female. Italian.Catholic guilt .....over being out so long... maybe the nervous twitching would stop....

Thanks Brig... Had a great time... as usual.
