I DO have Friends. I Really Really Do. Possibly. Maybe

Let's reminisce for uno momento, shall we? Let's roll the table back to a year and a half ago. Anyone? Anyone? Shall we recall the weeping and gnashing of teeth as I moved to a new town in a new city in a new state in a new region in a new time zone? And I left behind all that is holy and just. All my friends, homeys, jaimes, pals, peeps, comrades, you get the pic. I was lonely. Sad. Depressed. With no friends. All I had were you, my blog lovers. And oh how I love you all. But alas, a silver lining came in the storm of my pathetic life as I GOT A JOB and moved out of the ghetto I was surviving in. I left the drive by shooting and fraternity neighbors with goats and came to my new neighborhood. Where people didn't have ankle bracelets....or if they did they at least had the common sense to bedazzle them. I mean I ain't judging. I love and embrace all. But if bedazzling in wrong, I don't wanna be right.
Anyhoo, in my new neighborhood in my new town in my new city in my new state in my new time zone, I decided to host a little party. Maybe 10 to 12 of my neighbors.
One of those I am gonna invite you and you invite someone... Share the love...
Spread the joy....
And pretty soon, the love had spread to 62 people.
UHM SIXTY TWO PEOPLE? This will require a lot of wine...
I think we all big pink fuzzy heart with glitter share in our love for wine.
But let's let's not get crazy on the chocolate....one per person please...
Anyhoo -- I LOVE having sixty two people in my home.And if you would have told me a year and a half ago that I would have A JOB that i love and a house that DOES NOT have drive bys and FRIENDS who drink cheap wine and love me for who I am....
I would have passed out... and then when I got up I would have fainted....and then as I came to I would have blacked out once more...
or at least gotten drunk in the spirit -- cause that's what all good Christian panty hose wearin women do. Amen.
Anyhoo - I love my friends...
I love my neighbors.....
and we are doing it all over again in New Year's Eve....
So come on over -- we will leave the light on for you. Just bring a box of wine. Cause that's how we roll.
All I am sayin is -- You can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl.

Big Pink Fuzzy Heart With Glitter,

Country Girl
