Hey y’all! First things first. Happy New Year!! I hope your still sticking to your new years resolutions. This started out as a rant of how much I strong dislike Valentine Day. Now that Valentine Day is over I decided to make this blog about my besties; ( Ride and/or die and Shady Ladies love). So, here’s the story from A – Z ::f you don’t what song this is i am going reevaluate our friend ship::
wrapped in my anxiety blanket with no intention of coming out from under it during Valentine’s Day
Here are some reasons why I love each and every one of them and how I know will be friends forever
First up to the plate is Ride and/or die. We have been besties since high school (20 some odd years). We have been through SO much together. Ride and/or die helped me make it through a lot of times. She has been there for in so many different ways and times. When I was cut from the cheerleading squad and thought my life was over (teenage hormones in high gear) she took me for Starbucks (enough caramel to choke a horse please and thank you). She always knows how to lifted my spirits (s-p-i-r-i-t SPIRIT lets hear it). up. Ride and/or die was there for me everyday after school right after I found out about my brain cyst. She has always been there for NO matter what. I have helped her through just as many tough times. From death, to births, to breakups/divorcee, to moves, to dealing with my crazy ass for as long as she has! I love her and don’t know how I could have made it through high school without her!!
Just some of the many adventures of Ride and/or die and made over the years

- ‘Turn off the sun its too bright.’ ‘Okay I’ll go talk to the sun for you!’ ‘Thank you!!’
- {{getting ready gym class}} I went to the bathroom while you finished getting ready for gym but you didn’t see which stall I went into so you just guessed and started pounding on one of the stalls….it was not me who came out of the stall you were pounding on.
- easy bake oven…Mom mom mom ride and/or die loves me more than you because she bought me an easy bake oven!!

Use the safe call if he comes out!” “Got it!” ::you jump up with the Jeepy Jeep’s door open:: ::you run to the back of his car and the car lights come on you scream and hit the ground:: “HE IS IN THE CAR I REPEAT HE IS IN THE CAR!!!

Why are you STILL laying in bed crying about the firefighter and him ‘leaving’ you when you two weren’t even dating?!?!?!?” “I thought we were and now I just want to never leave my bed ever ever again!!” “Gosh darn it here ::pulls out pizza bagel bites and pints of Ben and Jerry’s:: :: I get out of bed and make the pizza bagel bites and bring down two spoons; while you cue up where we left off of Gilmore Girls:: :: wraps up in blankets and cries on your shoulder for hours::
- At least he swiped right?!?!??!
- Many endless quotes about my crazy ex. There are way too many of them to even give just one quote!!
These are only a few of our times because most of our fun times are not safe blog safe.
Next up the to plate is Doro. Doro and I met while working at the bra store wrangling bras. We became fast friends. It seemed like there was never a day that went by that the two of us weren’t friends. She helped me throughout some of my darkest days. Doro tried her best to pull me out of the hole that the crazy ex and the firefighter left me in. I’m in love with her family and more importantly her kiddos! The kiddos are pretty much my kiddos :: Thank you again for letting me your kiddos unbiological Aunite;; There is nothing that the two of us haven’t been through together. She is my kindered spirit. Here are some of my best memories between us.
- Whatever you do do not watch this video without an inhaler near.
- “Kara you’ve made it to level G bra!!!” ::lays on the ground and starts to cry::
- “Why are we going here Kara!?!?” “Doro I don’t want to be here just as much as you don’t. The only thing I can say is that God will reward us for doing this.” :: walks up to the store front. SEES GODS WONDERFUL REWARD TO US. Looks at one another. Bust open both doors to the store front and just stares at them::
- “I have a danger will Robinson feeling about going into the grocery store. We really shouldn’t go in. It’s like a really really bad feeling Doro.” ::you drive around to the front of the grocery store. We look in and see the danger:: “Nope Kara we are not going in!! Your feeling of Danger Will Robinson was right.’’
- “Doro here is the Nationals game schedule. I SWEAR to everything you text me again during the game I will not talk to for 3 whole minutes!!” ”I’m sorry for making them lose…again…for like the 5th time.”
- Its not a minivan. Its a grocery assault vehicle
- “Kara do you think you can hold onto my trapper keeper of coupons while I shop?” “Yes ma’am! I can ::you hand over the trapper keeper to me who promptly drops the trapper keeper and coupons go flying EVERYWHERE:: not hole the trapper keeper while you shop” ::sits on floor for the next hour putting the coupons back in their spots.::
- Doro and I are more than friends. we’re like a really small gang.
- Two words Johnny Depp
- I love how much it means to the both of us that whenever one of us need to go out, get trashed and talk shit about people, we are always there for one another.

- “this is my grill and there is nothing you can do about it!!” ::he harasses me about my grilling skills for an hour:: ::stares at you threw the window:: ::sends kiddos out to save him::
Next up to the plate is Stalin. We met through Doro. The three of us together cause great and mass confusion for everyone around us. Stalin came into my life when I didn’t know I needed her! She can take any sad day and make it into one of the best days ever! I love that we can just look at one another and just know what the other one is saying. She has helped me through a lot of bad times. She has also just come over to my house when i’m in my deep hole and “kidnapped” me just to get me out of the house. Here are some of our fun quotes!

- “Uhmm Stalin it is the first the of the month and I have YET to receive a monthly calendar picture of a raccoon!!”
- “Kara you need to be quite or else we are going to kicked out of here!!” “NO I cannot be quite when Clay Matthews is SINGING MMMBOP!!!”
- “Kara you have a wired obsession with pumpkin spice and fall” “Shut it Stalin”
- Thank you for always hating my exs
- jamming out to NKOTB
- hanging out with me in public even if i’m not in my “good leggings”
- ::in line at the port o potties:: “Hey! Stalin that guy REALLY looks like Sam Hunt.” “You’re right he kinda does.” ::”Sam Hunt” turns around and says hi:: ::gives evil look back and rolls eyes:: when Sam Hunt comes on stage we look at one another and feel so damn dumb because it really was Sam Hunt.
- Performing delicate surgery on my bra (to remove the underwire) with sharp knife in the back seat of your car while the BF is driving us to IHOP
