Incessant Calling

A friend of mine in California gave me a buzz in the middle of “my chaos” yesterday afternoon. Whenever she calls and I don’t pick up the phone, she’s one of those people in my life that won’t take the voice mail in exchange of my voice. So, after not picking up the land phone and my cell phone, she kept ringing me up on the land phone. She knows me so well, that she knows “my game.” At that specific date, day and time, she was not expecting me to be out of the house.

I finally picked up after five tries, and yes, she refused to leave a message. Do you have  a friend like her? She’s one special person, and we’ve been friends through thick and thin both literally and figuratively. Now that we’re  both gaining unwanted pounds, we might even try taking weight loss pills at the same time LOL. Seriously, she’s been on diet for as long as I can remember, even when we were still stressed out from work at P & G. I wonder why she was plump even then, while I was skinny as a rail given the amount of pressure I used to get.

Why was she calling me? That is my secret for now. She’s working today, and she’s certain that she won’t get me later, so she just wanted to say her piece. She’s one sweet friend, a real good friend in the strictest sense of the word.
