Day 9 - The Three Monkeys

today, i had plans to have drinks with michelle, sy, and dianna.  when dianna ended up cancelling, my first impulse was to think - YES!  i can just go home, relax, and veg out.  but deep down inside, i knew that the right thing to do was to go see michelle.  she is my friend, my former roommate, and it always meant a good time with her.  and it turned out to be a great time!  we laughed so much, we reminisced about funny stories, we made bets on the future, we got excited for things to come.  and i realized, if i had gone home, while i would have had a relaxing night of food, tv, and maybe some early sleep - i would have missed out on this.  i've missed michelle and our crazy friendship.  and somehow, with my crazy work schedule and having to meet other people more urgently, i somehow went months without talking to michelle.  but tonight, from the moment we saw each other, it was like we had picked up right where we left off.  and it was easy, crazy, and natural.  i love friendships like that.  the ones that don't need so much maintenance work but are just so natural that you never have to worry about finding a new topic to talk about.  i'm thankful for friendships and i'm especially thankful for my crazy friend michelle.
