My friend and I had an awesome day today. What she doesn't know yet (but she will once she reads this), is that our friendship has grown to a whole new level.
Let me start from the beginning....
Our dear husbands know that the best Mother's day present we could have, is to have time to ourselves...no kids, just the two of us. Shopping, chatting, you know, girlie stuff. so, this afternoon, we gussied up and hit the town! We went straight to North Hills mall...wow. Do people really have that kind of disposable income? But I digress...we window shopped and chatted and had a relaxing time together. In amongst the boutiques was a store that I shop at a lot. Lane Bryant. The big-girls store. Now here's were our friendship moved to the next level.... I let her see what size I wear! There are only a handful of people in my life that I have ever let see my size and they are all related to me. This truly is a big deal, and I want her to know that I trust her completely, and know that even though she is significantly smaller than me, I didn't feel judged or looked down upon. That's usually a big test for me in friendship. Will the person love me, no matter what size I happen to be?
Anyway... thanks to my awesome husband, Gerald for the gift of the day, and thanks dear friend for the fun we had!!
PS...another girl joined us for dinner tonight, and I think there might be potential for her to become a dear friend too. I'll keep you posted!!

A cover is nice, but a cover is not a book.
