Here's some correspondence between BFF candidate "Tiffany" (from Georgia) and myself. What'd ya think, she in?
"TIFFANY'S" EMAIL to ME: I read your ad and i just laughed and laughed. My name is "Tiffany" and I have two girls 6 and 7 months. I just broke up with my longtime boyfriend/fiance and I have just relocated to Georgia. People describe me as sarcastic and cynical but in a good way (whatever that means) i like to have a good time usually at the expense of others. I've also have been told that i give great advice despite my age. basically whenever one of my "friends" calls i answer with "whats wrong" because they only call me when they want my opinion. so enough about tales of my mediocre friends and my sarcastic nature....how are you?
MY RESPONSE: Hi "Tiffany" :-)
Yea! You sound sane!!! That's an excellent quality in a BFF. I hope you had a fabulous Mother's Day. Me, I got chased out of the bedroom early in the morning thanks to the odoriferous smell emanating from my husband's general direction. I fixed breakfast for me and the kids- deciding to let the smelly man starve. Then, I painted the family room. And later, I showed remarkable restraint when my husband dumped a load of laundry on the couch and said, "here you go."
I love my husband, I swear I do, I just don't remember why. ;-)
Because I'm a military spouse, we're always moving so it's difficult to make new friends. At some point you just want to throw up your hands and say screw it, I'm destined to mutter to myself so I should probably get started on that drinking habit right about now.
I'm hoping the blog will develop a readership of like-minded women with friendships that cross state lines. A national network, so to speak, of BFFS.
So are you in hotlanta? We used to live in Cochran, GA a few years back. Hot, sticky, muggy. Found a rat snake in my house - nearly pissed myself. And the day we put our house on the market (with our first open house) there was a half burned body found across the street. So that was nice.
So, where'd you move from? How do the girls like the new locale?
"TIFFANY'S" EMAIL TO ME: HA HA!! Yes, sanity should be a prerequisite when applying for the position as BFF! My youngest is basically a sack of potatoes with a smile so she doesn't know the difference. My oldest got an awesome welcome to Georgia initiation. WELCOME TO GEORGIA: *SPLAT* she falls off the monkey bars shatters her elbow and has to have surgery. Just what I always wanted-- two kids to wait on hand and foot.
Mother's Day was like any other day for me. I changed diapers and counted the number of times my oldest had a tantrum over absolutely nothing. (I think I counted 6 that day)
We are originally from Chicago. After my fiance or "common law husband" was caught cheating on me throughout my pregnancy I decided to take the opportunity to move far far away.
How old are your children?
MY RESPONSE: What a bag of douche, that guy. I hope you severed a testicle as a souvenier of time served.
I used to live in Chicago - actually, it was Evanston. I was a nanny there when I was about 19. Great family, pretty sure they had ties to the mob, though. FBI showed up at the house my first day on the job asking what I knew about the neighbors. The family eventually moved to Lake Forest and I moved back to Tennessee - missed my own family.
I have two boys ages 14 and 9. My eldest wants to be a stand-up comedian. I don't get his humor but he kills with the elementary crowd. My youngest wants to be a baseball player. Fortunately, neither one of them are planning on going into a career field where their grades are going to have any significant impact on their future.
Sorry to hear about your daughter's injury. I am not good with emergencies. Mother-of-the Year that I am, I'd be like, "Are you bleeding? Then you're fine. Shake it off." And if it was all mangled, I'm pretty sure I'd pass out. But I'm not a totally irresponsible mom, I keep emergency numbers in my purse should my kids need to call an ambulance for themselves.
So "Tiff," to keep things entertaining, I'd like to post portions of our correspondence on the site - you cool with that? I won't put anything on there, you don't want anyone to read.
"TIFFANY'S" EMAIL TO ME: Yea, thats cool with me. I haven't sent you any nude photo's or discussed my unuasul crush on Alton Brown with you so I have no problem with it.
Note from MoGilly: I definitely think "Tiffany" is BFF material. And you? Post your comments below.
