Good Times Guaranteed
By Kristabella | May 5, 2008
Do you all have one of those friends that it doesn’t matter what you do, you’ll always have a good time? Friends that could make paint drying a fun activity?
I do. Her name is Lori and she’s coming to Chicago tomorrow! And I couldn’t be more ecstatic! We both used to live in the Bay Area together and have since moved away, her back to Arizona, me to Chicago, and if I had known this fact when I lived in the same area as her, I would have hung out with her every single weekend.
Because now that we’re thousands of miles away, we don’t see each other nearly enough. And that makes me sad because she is one of my very best friends in the whole entire world. And no, I’m not sure when I turned back into a third grader.
She came to town last May and we had a blast. And boy, did I need it. I was still unemployed because stupid-ass Slalom Consulting (I use their name frequently to try and keep me on the front page of Google search results) had given me the boot and I hadn’t yet started at my current job. So I had a lot of free time. And we spent a lot of that time drinking. It was Drunk-A-Palooza!
It doesn’t matter what we do, whether we plan to just go for dinner and end up drinking fantabulous martinis at 3 AM, or if we spend the day napping and watching Rob & Big on MTV because we’re so hung over we can’t move. We ALWAYS have a good time.
So I’m prepared for an awesome mid-week trip with her coming to town. And plenty of alcohol. And lots and lots of laughing.
Look at us! We’re ghosts!

I was able to get the book a day early and it’s so good! I still have a copy coming from Amazon tomorrow that I will give away, likely in some contest on the blog. I’m only two chapters in, but such a great book!

Friends like that are soooooo rare….but having had the same best friend since high school, I can relate. I think the best thing is getting together after months & months & just picking up right where you left off. Oh, and lots of alcohol. Always.
And then missing them like crazy afterwards!

I don’t have that friend, because I AM THAT FRIEND. BWHAHAHAHAHA.
Or, at least, I USED to be, before I became a very sedate, old, fusty mother.

I’m thinking that not only should you have a great time laughing and drinking massive quantities of alkyhol, but a little trip to the local tatt parlor would be awesome fun too! what say? you can blog us all about it.
May 6th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Yeah, that would be me and Lana, by bff since middle school. She lives in Jax, and we try to see each other no less than once every 2 months… something helped by the fact we both run races together and travel a lot to do so.

My best friend and I are like that too. It doesn’t matter where we are or what we’re doing, it’s always fun with the two of us together. We often make the same joke at the same time, and say so many things that we think are hilarious that no one else understands!!

Ohhh I like that idea. Give major companies props so you come up high in a search. Got it.
Ok, questions. How come everyone on earth has a friend from AZ. Every day I always hear “hey my bff is coming up from Pheoonix” WTF!
I ama the Minority!

You look so cute in that photo!!! Enjoy, enjoy your visit! My best friend is coming back to town in two weeks. I can’t wait.
(PS: I’m listening to the German version of “Major Tom” by Peter Schilling. One of my more pee-yossed drunken iPod purchases. I’m still pissed. Yet I continue to listen.)

Aww (tear). You are the bestest and I love that we can always have a blast together no matter what. If only you would move back to AZ already!
