friends, friends, and more friends

I had a great pleasure in having dinner with some great friends last night (less one husband...for he was working late). That group of friends is expanding for Debra has one little tyke who is the cutest little thing...Drool and all. Just plain adorable. We had steak and some sides (I went a little overboard and brought one too many...but still quite yummy) oh and red and white wines...which ever your heart desires. I came bearing gifts for its been more than 9 months since I've seen them. Sad, but true. Sometimes life gets in the way and you don't get to see the special people in your lives. Good thing about it is that we are such great friends that we can just start where we left things off. I just love those friendships. No drama. If ever any, its workable....and not require you to jump a thousand hurdles to fix. It's low key and yet quite special.

Speaking of friends, have you ever noticed that you have different group of friends? I've realized that every facet of my personality has its own group of friends. I just find it interesting that it happens...to me anyway. Once in college I tried to combine my party and conservative friends. Oh my! It's crazy. I'll NEVER do that again. Each group would stay away from each other, until perhaps the time when I get married. When will that be? Who knows??? Gotta find me a man first. But that's a different story for another blog entry.

I'll be meeting up with a person from my old HS in Philippines. I haven't a clue what she looks like really. Her name draws a blank when I attempt to open the memory vault. No face, no activity, no nothing. *SAD* But we shall try to reconnect the past with the present. I was determined to keep that connection to a minimal but maybe time has healed old wounds and its time to face the monster I've kept from the present (who occasionally emerge and haunt me...damned past!).

But friends. I love them all. You should take care of them. Try to keep that bridge alive....or recross it once time has given it a different twist...that you've grown older and wiser and the past can now be dealt with. But the moral is: cherish your friendships...they're there for a reason...especially in moments of weakness and vulnerability, they are there for you. (for fun too of course...that's a given!)
