I love, love, love my dear friend. In fact, I went to visit her last month (a treat for us both). I had a headache the entire time I was with her, because I laughed so hard. My jaw ached for days afterwards!
There was a new Publix opening near her home. She knew it was supposed to open very soon, so when she saw a couple people walking in the front doors and cars in the parking lot, she thought it had opened. SHe walks in, grabs a cart and starts shopping through the aisles. Pretty soon, she hears, "Ahem, Ma'am?" SHe said she knew immediately. Yep. It wasn't open. It was workers going in and out. SHe turned over the cart and walked quickly out of the store.
She also ran out once, to grab some needed items from the store and realized once she got BACK into her vehicle, that she still had all these mismatched, bright colored, haphazzard barrettes in ther hair from when she let her daughter do a "make-over" on her.
Every story she tells is Sooooo much funnier, because it comes from her. I nearly peed myself when she was telling me a story of her mom in the ocean. You just have to hear it, to enjoy the humor, but it definitely was funnier when she tells it.
Now I miss her terribly :(
