My friend is living with me and it's nice to have another girl around! I have been the only girl in a house with a husband, 2 sons and a male dog forever and although I like being the princess at times. no one can relate to a girl like another girl!
No words need to be exchanged between us to know that despite the fact that no tears have fallen yet they soon will. We know immediately when the outfit we have on is making our day better (or worse). We understand a "clothes crisis" when we are unable to find the right outfit to match our mood, have thrown every article of clothing on the floor, basically had a temper tantrum and are determined tomorrow to explore the mall from top to bottom for new shirts since the 20 we have are just not right! We seem to know when one of us needs a pep talk, is having woman guilt or insecurities. We can show open enthusiasm for the arrival of the most current fashion magazines without feeling we should be just as excited to read the papaer.
Unfortunately my friend was in need of a place to stay to get her through a tough time and will be leaving in a couple of weeks. I'm sorry she was in pain, but actually a little happy to have had her here. Some things are surprising little gifts and I think even she would agree we have had a great time "hanging out". I like taking care of people, so I enjoyed making my son's room into hers for the short stay, making her dinner after her long trek to and from the city for work, long talks about whatever ailed her (or me), but the best was having her here for me in my emotional moments that I sometimes sweep under the rug while I try to help with homework or do the laundry. Thanks Ames for coming and staying with me.
