spending time with one of my best girlfriends from home.

There are a lot of things I love about my friend, Jess.  But here are a few I can think of in a few minutes:

• She’s fun to be around.
• She always has a smile on her face.
• She sends me Petra Mahalimuyak bidjos.  “Pold, pold, put it away!”
• I’ve never felt as if she’s ever judged me despite my faults.
• She looks great in periwinkle, pink, and purple, not all at the same time though-that’s just too much.
• We can be lookin’ hott and sexy one minute and then be completely goofy and silly the next.
• She has really delved into her Carribean Queenie roots by participating in Carnival events around the world…well really around the U.S. and Carribean.  I love the outfits and I’m gonna join you one day!
• She understands how much it meant to me to make it into the Varsity Pep Squad. (Yes, I was in the Pep Squad.)
• She has such a great heart for others…especially a visitor of the feline persuasion.  I don’t know how you do it.
• She likes Skyflakes.

I love you and I miss you already, Blanche…Samantha…my beloved Jess.

Thank you for being a friend.
