As we get older…

Seeing that today is the Confidants birthday, I’ve decided this post is specially for her. Living together last year I don’t think I said thank you nearly enough for everything she did for me and meant to me. Don’t worry other BFF’s you’ll get your chance when it’s your birthday. So here goes:

Thank you for

1. For encouraging me to start this here blog. Through it I’m starting to rediscover passions (other than frogs) that I’ve long forgotten. I’m slowly finding myself again. And of course being my first follower.
2. Not killing me, if I were you, I might have seriously considered it. I drive myself crazy sometimes.
3. For helping me become a more tidy and neat person. I actually like going into my room these days.
4. For literally dragging me away from Reitz, it would have been an absolute disaster if I stayed. (Ps. Never drunkenly try to show your ex that you don’t care anymore, it looks sad and desperate, not carefree like you intended.)
5. Being kidnapped with me at the housewarming, I had a blast and just love telling that story to people, especially the part where you decided to swim.
6. For not freaking out and judging when you find random frogs in the kitchen/bathroom/my bed. I would have warned you if I thought of it, but quite obviously I wasn’t thinking clearly when I brought them home.
7. Being there for me when the Rugby Player and Commitment Phobe broke my heart, and letting me whine endlessly about it. I’m not gonna go into this, you know.
8. Showing me how to handle a family crisis. Just remember, I love teasing you about your family, but I love them to death and if I had the energy I would have tried to marry your Single Brother just to be a part of all the craziness.
9. For introducing me to wine, beer and whisky. I’m a changed woman.
10. Teaching me that when you cook, and it’s end of the month, almost anything can go together. Also all the fusion cooking (Hilda se soet/suur kombinasies kan maar gaan slaap).
11. Dealing with all the crying, ranting and raving when I found out the Ex Boss committed fraud and made me, unknowingly a part of it.
12. Helping me strengthen my Faith and know that through God anything is possible.
13. The talks on the steps at the back porch where I poured out my heart and soul.
14. Making me love dogs.
15. Being my friend, believing in me and just loving me for my crazy self.

There’s still a million things I have to thank you for, but considering I still have a whole lifetime of friendship to say them, I’m just gonna say: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope the next year is a wonderful, fun, exciting and adventurous year! I luv you my friend!

Ps. I forgot one. Thank you for not abandoning me that time the horse ran away with me, I was scared shitless and very mad at the Damselfly & Partner in Crime for causing it. If Horsie didn't stop by itself I know you would have saved me.
