Last weekend, my best friend of nearly 37 years, Kim, came for a much needed visit. She’s married and has one child. Both her husband and her son have ADHD. I’ve seen her son unmedicated and it takes a great deal to find the patience to handle him. He’s a great kid. He’s funny, which can be his downfall and he’s smart. The thing is…when you need him to get ready for school and he’s not medicated, you want to slap him. He’s also diabetic, so he can’t skip a meal. Yep. Kim NEEDED the vacation. I needed to see her as well.
Another win/win situation.
I would love to regale you with our adventures, but I want to check in with her first.
I may have to coerce her and also get the lowdown from her perspective.
So, keep your eye on this column, dear readers. You’re gonna get an eyefull of some crazy happenings including just why she and I are lifelong friends. She’s a bit of a devil, that kid.
This may take a couple of days to process.
In any event, if you have dear friends with whom you’ve lost touch…give ‘em a jingle. Drop ‘em a line. I’m nearly always in contact with Kim. We’re sorta co-dependent but in a healthy way. HEALTHY, I say!
Heh. That were funny. We were phrasemakers all weekend, with Kim being the champion for this one: “The fart from the ass who must not be named”. Ruminate on that one for a bit, kids.
Oh, there was ass-gas and it wasn’t pretty. I think I just overshared. Yep, I sure did.
Can’t take it back now. Chuckle it up out there, gang.
Love ya!
Hey, and pick up my cookbook!
I’ve not mentioned it enough, have I?
THE PRETZEL COOKBOOK: A NEW TWIST ON EVERYONE’S FAVORITE SNACK
Is that good enough for ya?
Amazon has it…so does Borders and Barnes and Noble.
GET it, already!
If you request it, I’ll even autograph it for ya.
How do ya like THEM apples?
Ah, youth. I wish I still had it.
Be careful out there.
