I have this friend, Vickie. We used to hang out together a lot. Back in the days before I had kids. She is single and kind of a hot mama and I didn't fit very well into her life after I had kids. I missed her, but I know how life goes.
While I still liked Vickie, I started making other friends who understood my family committments. Vickie liked Carl, but didn't really have a place for my kids to hang out. It's not that she didn't like my kids, she just didn't understand them very well. They didn't really belong in her world. So, I started hanging out with another friend, Penney. Penney was always welcoming to me and my kids! She is a fine hostess who makes time to have just what the kids and I need at any given time. She even includes Carl in her hospitality.
Penney and I have grown old together. We are familiar. But, as I get older, Penney is sometimes unable to keep up. She is growing older, too, and sometimes I just need someone who can make me feel good about myself, like I did when I was 20. As much as I love Penney, she just isn't like Vickie.
So, after trying for a year to make do with what Penney could offer, I finally realized, I should get back in touch with Vickie. So, I left Penney's abode today, and went to visit Vickie. It has been about 17 years since I have seen her, but she was awesome! One thing I will say for Vickie....she makes me feel good about myself, AND...
She knows how to keep a Secret!!

That's just mean if you're talking a current secret ;-)
You can not say the word "secret" on a blog, without havin' loss of es'plainin' to do!
Penney? Vickie? Are you talking about bras?
PS - Vickie is my bestest friend and for reasons of conscience I have been trying to go cold turkey, but I can't do it. She just fits too good!
now it's hilarious-
vickie and i go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back-- :)
You girls are sharp! :D
FINALLY!!!!! I've only been trying to tell you FOREVER that Vickie is the BEST!! Why don't you ever listen to me??? ; )
The thing about Vickie is that she clearly CANNOT keep a secret. She should be called "Vickie Tells [er, uh, shows] All".

I'll introduce you to my bff Soma sometime. She's a good mix of Vickie and Penney. For instance, she has greater depths to offer than Vickie yet you can often find her leopard prowess like vickie's. And she's definitely sassier than Penney but quite child friendly... best of both ladies I'm telling you.
I'm with Lauren. Soma's the one for me:-)
