Tomorrow, a group of us girlfriends are going out to lunch to celebrate a recent birthday. The party includes-
A girlfriend who talks incessantly, the rest of us joke that you don't contact her by telephone or email unless you have at least 30 minutes to spare. Really. Whew, she can talk the hind legs off a cat.
A girlfriend whose domineering husband, not too many of us, (myself included), can stand. He's arrogant and insecure which is all together much too tiresome.
A girlfriend who regularly teaches and preaches, wow, my mom doesn't preach to me this much, ever. (Maybe she should have).
A girlfriend whose family has been over to our house for parties and dinners dozens of times and who doesn't ever reciprocate. (And that's okay, we enjoy their company and accept this is part of the dealio.)
The thing about girlfriends is, this stuff really doesn't matter cause you know they have your back and you have theirs when it matters and how it matters.

That's friendship for you - overlooking the unpleasant, because the rest is more important! Have a great time!
you are right..
you gotta leave all the bad behind.. and just enjoy one another..
ya'll have tons of fun!!!
That sounds like a really lovely lunch! Accepting the idiosyncracies of others (as well as ourselves) allows us to travel through life together -- a much better way to go!
How would your friends describe you?
sounds like an interesting group of friends; enjoy the gathering :)
betty
Exactly! We don't have to have friends that are just like us. Funny thing I think sometimes, can you imagine what they might think about us in their minds?
I love this post for its honesty.
And that it sees the whole picture.
Girlfriends rock, warts and all.
That's how it has to be! Have a great time. Maybe you could write a TV show later about it all - oops wait, this one has been done. LOL
I know it's hard to not label and accept the girlfriends at times. But we do and thats ok. I think to myself some of the same things about my friends. But if our friends were too much like ourselves, how boring the friendships would be, right? You are very honest and that is why I like you so much!
that's what friends are for.
I hand with a group of girlfriends I've known since grade school/junior high. We all have our quirks ( mine would be my tendency to tell revolting stories while eating), but all have each others back. Girlfriends are fabulous!
Girlfriends are great!
That's what friendship is all about - you know the flaws (we all have them) and love them any way. Hope you had a great visit.
