Bov Jovi Wednesday-Halfway There/Living on a Prayer

 Hey-Ho-It's Mid-week!!! 

I call it Bon Jovi Day because we are Halfway thru my workweek and I'm living on a prayer- despite Tuesday being my Payday!! 

So today I head to my Bezzie's place to have a girls night.  We try to do this every week but sometimes- life gets in the way and we have to postpone.

I go in to work and when I get off I head towards Easley. A substantially shorter drive than from work to Anderson. The only thing I dread about it is the short distance I drive thru Powdersville traffic. It's absolutely horrendous that time of day- mostly because there are five schools along that route and school dismissal time is EXACTLY the time of day I'm arriving at each one. Bah Humbug. So I truly AM living on a prayer.

Anyway, although we sometimes mix it up- usually I stop at the local PUBLIX and grab our dinner just about a half mile from Bezzie's apartment. And typically we have Sushi for dinner. No one at my house eats it- and Bezzie's mom wont eat it, but we love the stuff. We've decided our favorite is the Crunchy California Roll. And believe me- we have tried every combo they have! The only thing we differ in is our choice of flavorings. I like mine with a goodly amount of Soy Sauce and just a TOUCH of wasabi....She prefers hers plain with the ginger. 

After dinner is finished, we either just sit and talk until bedtime or we watch a couple of movies or  a few YouTube videos on the TV (Along with talking about anything and everything DURING either of those as well!). It keeps us sane. Whatever is on our minds is what we talk about whether it be Serious or Silly-it doesn't matter- it's no Holds Barred. We have been best friends for almost 60 years (since 1967)- so we have no secrets from each other- but the amount of inside jokes is astronomical! 

Thelma & Louise -We switch on who is who depending on our mood or situation on any given day. But always- each other's Ride or Die. 

We have another Bezzie that we have been Bezzie's with since Junior High- about five years less than our friendship. Call ourselves "The Three Amigos/ Musketeers". We all consider each other a chosen sister. And My sisters are considered their sisters as well. Occasionally we all three go out to have a meal together- and even more rarely-once in a blue moon-we ALL get together to go out and have a meal together.

The day before Halloween us Three Amigos/Musketeers are planning to dress as Modern Witches and get together for a meal. That should be fun. I want us to wear the classic witches hats- but one of us (not saying which) doesn't want to go the whole nine yards. And That's okay....I'm not making any promises that I wont wear one tho...... Depends on my mood- sometimes I'm in a hat mood-and on those days I can pull it off with confidence- but on other days you couldn't pay me to wear one. And either is perfectly normal- for me. 

Maybe I should have been born a Gemini.
