Look at that face!
As if it’s not easy to see why I’d want her to be my very best friend, here are some other reasons that I really really like her:
she’s an honest friend—like terrible-lying-face, give-it-to-you-straight, don’t-wear-that honest—which, to me, is exactly what a best friend is supposed to be;
she can flirt [or boss] our way into free drinks, line-cuts and shopping discounts. This is also a really important quality to have in a bestie;
she will dance on banquettes or snuggle on the couch with equal amounts of enthusiasm;
she is genuinely happy for other people’s happiness. And I just think that’s really really nice [and unfortunately rare];
she too believes that beer and teddy grahams are a totally acceptable breakfast for really special days…like Saturday;
she is my sounding board, my stylist, my favorite drinking game teammate, an enabler and a protector, and a sister I always wanted.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TARA! I hope you have the best 27th birthday day ever.
Now go buy yourself something pretty!
[And pretty expensive. That I can borrow. Thanks, Drewbie!!]
