My Best Friend

-shares her excellent music collection

-listens to me cry and whine when everyone else is tired of hearing it, and still has energy to help me look the situation in a positive way.
-finishes my sentences.

-can pick out a good haircolor for me, then help color my greys without snickering a "neener neener" that it's finally happening to me.
-is a smart woman.

-tells me when I need to retire an article of clothing.

-loves my children and supports my marriage.
-will stay up until 3 am finishing a project with me.

-is a list maker, a planner, a thinker and a do-er.

-saves room in her suitcase for my shopping list when she travels West.

-likes to be comfortable.
-is my extra sister.

-is a good buddy-from projects to running to movies or road trips. She's fun to work with and fun to be with.

-shows up with food.

-can make me laugh. Anywhere, anytime.

-sets a good example of a healthy body image for my daughters.

-cares about what she does and makes sure she does it right.

-will close down a restaurant or movie theater just people watching with me.

-brings the party...and the cheesecake.

-is not moving to India.

-killed 26.6 miles last spring, with an injury, and didn't complain about it even once.

-will out shop you. Don't even try to compete in that marathon. Even if you can keep up with her on foot, she will double time it and find deals online and place an amazon order while she's waiting in a checkout line. And she will find a better deal than you can. No matter what.

-does all of my tip calculating.

-likes Winning!

-gives and gives and gives and gives and NEVER asks for a dang thing for herself in return. Ever.
-is 40 today!

Happy Birthday, Kasey! I am tempted to not post this, because I don't want anyone more deserving to realize how rad you are and steal you away. But anyone deserving of your friendship already knows how truly awesome you are. I'm so happy we're friends.
