Meet Megan...

Forgive me if I'm rambling incoherently...my kids are sick and waking up at 10 minute intervals...so needless to say I'm friggin tired. But on the bright side, Jordan is tucked away drifting off somewhere in never never land snoring like a frackin banshee. Isn't that great? Yeeaaahh. Remind me to tie all of his shoe laces together tomorrow. Jerk.

But since I'm awake I'm going to take advantage and introduce you to someone near and dear to my heart...and kitchen pantry. I've been fortunate to have found some really awesome friends in life. And while I have a select few I call my besties, I have to introduce you to the original bestie. She's the OG of my bestie world....the Romy to my Michelle...she's Megan....

{That's my boo! Ain't she puuurty?}

It all began when I was 12 (holy days ago batman) and this little hooligan from across the street would come over and try to barter her Hansen's soda in exchange for a Pepsi, I was happy to oblige. She had an uncanny way of showing up every time the Schwann's man was there delivering ice cream. So, I took it upon myself to show this girl the finer things in life...and the pantry. Our love for food developed into an amazing friendship that I've treasured for the last 14 years.

From sleep overs to motherhood, we've been through it all together. Countless inside jokes (you ate yours, these are mine!!), countless heartaches, countless laughs. We've swooned over *N Sync together and held eachothers new born babies....The ups and downs, good times and bad, I know she'll always be there for me...with a carton of nacho's in one hand and a fountain soda in the other. That's my girl!!!

So now that you guys have met, go on over and say hi...I finally got her to start a blog. GLORIOUS!!! Just be nice...or I may have to kick some butt!

**this post was part of mama kat's workshop**

  3. The intro to this post is so ironic considering Toot woke up at stupid 5:00 this morning and the hubby is sleeping peacefully while I have to pry my eyes open with toothpicks...

    I hope your kids feel better soon!

    My best friend and I have been friends since we were 12 and I can't imagine life without her! It's so awesome to have a close friend like that!

  4. Isn't it fun getting long term BFF to do stuff you do just so you can have more stuff you do together. Why do ya think Too Fatties is heading out to Vegas with me? That's right baby, 'cause I didn't want to go it alone:). And, I've known her since I was 13, kinda like you guys, only we've been together a little longer since we're older. Funny, we too share a food obsession curious how come ours shows all over our thighs and hips and bellies and backs and yours and Megan's shows, um, nowhere. Ok, maybe I don't want to see you all hottied up in Vegas:(

  20. Sick kids are so not the coolest! Hubbys always get to sleep while we slave away. You should put worms in his lunch.

  23. oh hey megan! what up yo!

  25. Great post......you and your bestie sound alot like me and my bestie! Oh and your husband does the same thing as mine when it comes to getting up with a sick baby! Hes always the first to go to sleep! im gonna try the tying his shoe laces thing...hahahaha

    ReplyDelete
  26. OH...EM...GEE. Alicia this seriously just made my day, especially now that i'm thinking about 7/11 nachos!

    you are the macaroni to my cheese....the peanut butter to my jelly...the pancake to my syrup...how many more food analogies can i come up with? thank you so much for posting this!

    you guys are all awesome, and i hope you all get to experience the type love that Alicia and I have for each other. she is one of the very few people in my life that i can ALWAYS count on to be there for people, especially when i make stupid decisions and feel like everything is crashing down. she's been a wonderful blessing in my life for the past bazillion years and i dont know what i would do without her (or her food stash).

    LOVE YOU BESTIE!!! (despite the fact i've lost my Big Spoon/sushi buddy due to your difficult as hell intestinal system. arggg)

  38. Well, it's fantabulous to meet Megan! :) My daughter's name is Meagan (pronounced MAYgan as she repeatedly reminds everyone). I'll go over and say neiner, nei... errr, hi.

    I'm sorry to hear the icky icky poos have descended at your house. I hope someone brings you appropriate gifts of appreciation and gratitude - whatever those may be for you.

    Toodles!

  39. Besties are the BEST! BTW, hope the kids feel better. I am in the same house boat over here and it SUCKS!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I'm stopping by from SITS again. I just thought I'd share a bit of comment love. I'm so sorry your kiddos are sick. That stinks. It is hard having sick kids.

    Now, besties are truly awesome! I have 2 that I've had since I was about 11 or 12 y/o. We all still stay in contact with each other to this day even though we don't live close together any longer. It is truly amazing how, no matter how much time goes by between talks or visits, we can still pick up right where we left off and it is like we were never apart. They are like sisters to me and I love them so much! They would do anything for me and vice versa.

    Well, I hope and pray your babies are well soon. Take care of you.

    Teresa <><

  41. Let's hear it for Megan besties! And the cake was delicious from what I could tell from the one bite I had. The wait staff mistakenly cut the whole cake and didn't save us any. Sigh.
