Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sort of

Guess what I forgot to do?

Yep, I forgot to take the pictures of Hubby's new car. Bummer, right? I know, I know...and the worst part about it is now I can think of very little to say...shocking, I know.

This morning I did have breakfast with my best friend, Tina. We wanted to get together, but are both super busy and decided just to get together this morning for breakfast.

I'd love to tell you that we ate in this beautiful mansion and dined on caviar and Eggs Benedict. But, that would be a lie.

Actually, we ate at my regular house, in my regular dining room, then had to wash the dishes ourselves in my regular sink since I STILL don't have a working dishwasher. And, THAT, my friends, is beginning to be a real pain in my side.

As for our menu, we ate fried eggs, toast, and deer sausage, which Tina loves. I'm OK with it. After Hubby and Son go hunting every year, WE, including ME, process our own meat. Even if I didn't have an aversion to blood, it would still not be my favorite way to spend several hours. And I DO have an aversion to blood, and would rather even have my gums scraped than process deer meat. So, after all the processing, the eating just kind of brings back questionable memories...but, it is pretty good, all things considered.

The thing about getting together with such a close friend is that there's no pretense. Observe:

Neither of us had "gotten ready" - no showers, both wearing t-shirts and sweats, yesterday's hair. Plus, she cooked the eggs, I cooked the sausage and toast, then SHE washed the dishes!! We talked easily during the cooking about everything from friends to co-workers to husbands. And, guess what? I didn't even make my bed before she got here!!

My take is this: I'm so thankful to be blessed with such amazing friends. There is something so comforting about knowing that Tina knows me, EVERYTHING about me, and just loves me anyway. That's what life is about: journeying on together, through thick and thin. And not having to wash the dishes by hand AGAIN by myself.
