The Sonster's Birthday

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a platinum blonde girl.
That girl ended up not being friends with another girl.
And some guy.
And the girl and the guy that she wasn't friends with became friends because they weren't friends with her.
It's a long story.
But one night another friend had a party. And the platinum blonde girl was at the party. And so was the guy she wasn't friends with. And he invited the girl she wasn't friends with because he thought it'd be funny to make her mad.
It did.
Then that girl met another girl who was at the party, too.
Years later, they're still friends.
Even if she made fun of that girl when she was at the party.
But that's OK. Because she probably deserved it. She was only at that party to make the other girl mad. Who does that?
Anyway, today is her birthday. It reminds me of another birthday of hers we celebrated. I, being Mormon, showed up to the birthday party with cake and ice cream. I was the only one who ate it. Everyone else ate liquor and beer.
Anyway. I thought in honor of her birthday I'd list 28 reasons why I like her.
Here we go:
1. Hannah Montana.
2. She likes to not go to the beach if it's fake raining
3. If we were in trouble, she could save my life. Or at least give me an IV.
4. She is shorter than me.
5. Maybe she's not. But it's my blog so I can say what I want.
6. Her wedding was an awesome weekend that she planned just for me.
7. She didn't make me wear an ugly bridesmaid dress.
8. She makes me laugh so hard I cry.
9. And sometimes wet my pants a little.
10. She isn't easily rendered speechless, but I've done it to her once. Remember that?
It was when we were helping you move and we moved the bed and .....
I'll stop. It's your birthday.
10. She can hula hoop like a rock star.
11. She plays Ghost in the Graveyard.
12. We do lunch.
13. We discuss important issues-like WTF was Jim doing with Drew B???
14. She's smart. Sometimes this is to my disadvantage.
15. She said the nicest things to me after I had Tristan. So nice, I wrote them in a little journal because it made my whole week better.
16. She has beautiful eyes
17. She knows how to be an adult.
18. If I had to have a life line on a TV show, I'd probably call her.
20. I like that when she cleans her closet, I benefit.
21. She is logical. I know, I know. Most people might not think so ;) but she really is.
22. We have plotted to buy giraffes.
23. One time my Mom kicked her out of the house for saying the F word. So she sat on the porch and smoked a cigarette. We weren't friends at the time but I thought it was awesome.
24. She has the best laugh. It's infectious.
25. And good hair. She really does. And, she had feathers in her hair before it was super trendy. The rest of y'all are posers.
26. She's a good dresser. This is important because of reason 20.
27. She has a freaking stellar credit score. One that should be framed.
28. She is a safe driver. This is random. But it's nice to know when you are in the car with her.
Also, there are two 28's because #5 didn't really count.
28. She's the best friend you could ever ask for.
So, here is to a great birthday... I hope it's full of food, friends and fun!!!
And unicorns, if there's a chance.
Love Anna
... and your birthday card is STILL on the table. It's just another way to extend birthday week. See, it's not over until you get the last card.
