My badass posse

 Today’s challenge from the lovelies at girly gazette is all about friendship.

Check out their post on tribes.

Then check out Belles “wolfpack“. It’s fab!

……………………………………………………………………….

Without further ado, I present…my badass posse.

First there’s auntie.

She is still the current record holder for tolerating my bitchy ass the longest.

She deserves a medal or trophy or something!

Instead, she gets me…my unconditional love, loyalty and countless memories, like the time her mother grounded BOTH of us and made us scrub the toilet.

She is the PITs godmother, my accomplice since preschool and like a sister.

She’s a mother, a wife, a sister, a caregiver, a friend that will cut you if you fuck with any of her closest.

I’ve seen her do it.

She loves with all her heart even though her heart was once shattered into pieces and then set ablaze.

I admire that….

Best of all, she loves me in spite of myself.

Then of course there’s @taytayllamalady

…fate brought us together I swear.

 We moved into the same apartment complex on the same scorching hot July day AND she lives in apt 825a and I’m in 825b.

 How’s that for coincidence!

I saw @taytayllamalady the first day I moved in and then didn’t see or speak to her until august.

I spent the first month bawling and having quite the pity party.

Our new place had a pool and the PIT loves to swim.

I could only hold up in my apartment for so long.

 We had been to the pool a few times already but I buried my nose in a book and avoided people in general as was my usual.

  However, on National Night Out our apartment hosted a pool party and thanks to a very persistent mechanic I was introduced to “the crew” which included @ taytayllamalady. 

We instantly hit it off…it’s like she’s the left half of my brain…which is kinda scary but hey, we have some great laughs! 

 She is a huge part of my life as well as the PIT who has also dubbed her “auntie taytay”. 

She too loves me in spite of myself.

Aunties…..thank you~I love your effing guts ladies!

Also in my posse are some bad ass bloggers.  These are the ones that keep me going.  I can always find strength, compassion, inspiration and a laugh when visiting my blogger friends. 

*Ms Single Mama—I once told her she was the “Oprah” of mommy bloggers and I meant it.  She’s one hell of a woman.

*Morgan—the lover of love, romance, daydreams and Italy.  Most recently she created a fabulous PDF of her favorite quotes in love, life and adventure, all complimented by her stunning photography.  She’s the ultimate glam romantic and a huge help when I’m in a funk. 

*TQuest—this woman is just awesomeness…honest, real, open, T puts it all out there and T always stops by to check in on me.  She once told me “Keep your chin up, not your dukes”…..I’m tryin T!

*Spencer—If I were to be arrested, Spencer would be in cuffs next to me on the curb….probably giggling.  This chick is a free spirit and she rocks the shit out of pretty much everything.  Plus-she has fabulous taste in music
