And to top it all off - Angela A.K.A 2fools
Just emailed me the greatest poem ever written:

Happy Birthday, my dearest pal

for the friend you were and are right now.

When I needed you most, you were right down the street!

When my parent's starved me, your mom let me eat.

Milkbread and lemonade was all I had-

but dinner at your house was MEATBALLS AND SALAD!

We laughed at the table, your dad got pissed off

"YOU'LL CHOKE" he would say, "Now KNOCK IT OFF!"

Holidays were rarely a joy, so I'd trot down to your house

to make a gingerbread boy.

Remember the time we went to your Aunts?

"Let's go sledding!" you said, "Me in the back, you in the front!"

"OH SHIT!" I said. "This hill's too high, If we go down it, my friend, we'll surely die"

"Don't be a baby!" You evilly grinned, "I'll give us a push and then I'll jump in"

Off like a rocket we flew off the cliff, no way to steer, I was scared stiff!

"...you in the front" echoed again - "I'll kill her" I thought "once we get to the end"

But we squeaked through the branches of every white birch, escaped with our lives

and didn't get hurt!

We stopped dead on a stump and busted our rocket,

and laughed as we limped in the house for hot chocolate.

Oh the good times we shared, my best friend and I

I'm glad we both made it to see 35.

We're still just as cute and funnier still

and not a day more mature than when we were just girls.

We're older but wiser and still just as close - so raise your glass all you Slackers

and let's make a toast!

To The Greatest Blog of All Time, no writer can beat her!

Happy Birthday, Jen - from your best friend and readers :)

We love you!

Angela
