Brown Girl in London

Girl Party #1

Last night my 2 girlfriends came over to eat, play texas hold 'em, and talk, laugh, talk, eat, laugh, eat, eat, laugh. You know.

It was a great time - we taught Sisy, (The Canadian Baker and NOT her real name), how to play - after we re-taught ourselves again.

HoneyD kept showing off her tattoo and bra-strap and winning all our chips. There were prizes so she won a light-up pen with a cow on top, pink candles, and a picture frame. Sisy won stationary, stickers, and a pad with pen. Funny because I had those things in mind for her when I bought them. DeeP (introducing a new character who's name may change) won a light-up pen with a frog on top, purple candles, and her favourite, a change purse! She thinks they're for little old ladies, but in defence of change purse-holders everywhere, they can be very useful especially when using a small purse. Anyway, DeeP was a close second to HD but in the end, HD came out on top and DeeP ended up losing it all. Which was risky on HD's part since DeeP was her ride home. Sisy made an awesome spread, I was the kitchen-helper, and did a semi-good job at it, except I forget things - like in order to boil water it's not enough to just put the water in the pot on the stove, you have to actually turn the stove on. Hmm!

Anyway - we've decided to have girl parties once a month, if not more, most likely here at Sisy's, from now until it's time for me and HD to leave. DeeP isn't coming with us, although she should, so these get-togethers, while highly enjoyable, are also bittersweet.

There are a few things I already know I'm going to miss about being here - DeeP is one of them - how are you supposed to not miss your best friend that you've seen, talked to, emailed, phoned, etc for the past 15 (almost) years? Here she is...
