I am Only as Strong as...

...the cocktails I drink, the hairspray I use, and the girlfriends I have.

A group of my best friends came up this weekend to see my new house and to celebrate Mimi's birthday. She didn't know they were coming up and was very surprised to see everyone! (I love surprises, so I am so happy I pulled it off)

We all had a wonderful time catching up and spending time together like old times (except now we talk about work and health insurance). I miss these girls every day, and seeing them is always so special! These cute little sayings remind me of my friends:

1. Aspire to be Barbie - the b*tch has everything.
2. If the shoe fits - buy them in every color.
3. Take life with a pinch of salt... A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.
4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!
5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).
6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.
7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.
8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's OK. They know me here.
9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.
10. Don't get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.
11. When life gives you lemons in 2009 - turn it into lemonade then mix it with vodka.
12. Remember where ever there is a good looking; sweet, single or married man there is some woman tired of his bullsh*t!
13. Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest.
14. If it has Tires or Testicles it's gonna give you trouble.
15. By the time a woman realizes her mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks she's wrong.

(Yes, I edited)

But most importantly...
'Good friends are like stars.........You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.'

I love you girls so much and can't wait to see you soon! Thanks for bringing a weekend escape from the real world!

Now back to the grind...
