Friends for So Long

After reading Iris's moment, Sam had a moment as well.
Often times people describe best friends as people who with each other through thick and thin, people who trust every thing to each other, etc.  Then there is the lighter moments where your best friend walks into your house without knocking, calls your parents Mom and Dad, and instead of bailing you out of jail, they're sitting on the bench next to you going, "Well that was fun." The third type is a combination of the two: a friend you have known since before you can remember, who has seen you at your best and worst, and is so in tune with how your mind works that they might as well have ESP.
I bring this up because my mood has been rather melancholy recently (a fact I blame on this dreary weather Key West has been experiencing) and Iris has voiced my opinions almost perfectly.  Battling the world is difficult, tiresome, and adds premature wrinkle lines, much to my distaste.  Over the years, both Iris and I have had our share of bad-egg boyfriends, unrequited loves, and embarrassing/drama-filled moments that require large amounts of ice-cream and chick flicks to cure.  Both Iris and Sam have perfected this method of cleansing, and feel that keeping this foolproof recipe for removing the blues is unfair to the rest of our fair species.

Iris and Samantha's Ultimate-Wash-That-Man-Right-Outta-Your-Hair-And-Ditch-That-Drama Night

Lots of pillows, comfy pajamas, and a couch or comfortable rug is required for ultimate comfort.
Facial masks or foot spas for those of us who enjoy those sorts of frilly things.
Chinese Food
Your two new boyfriends-Ben & Jerry (We suggest multiple flavors)
And of course, the movies:
Bridget Jones
Love Actually
The Holiday
Under the Tuscan Sun
10 Things I Hate About You
And pretty much any thing else that involves attractive guys and love. :D

Ritualistic burning of the possessions and pictures of the person who has caused you pain can be helpful, but we suggest doing this outside with a bucket of water near by.  And avoid burning anything plastic.  Molten plastic smells worse than dead fish and also has the minor side effect of being toxic.

Another easy cure, of course, is to get dressed to the nines in something that makes you look fabulous, then flaunt what yo mama gave you at the local club.  A boosted ego makes for a boosted happy factor.  Iris and Samantha can both verify that for ya.

So get out there and have a fantabulous day, and fight off those drama debacles with the cunning use of female empowering movies and the two men who will always be faithful: Benjamin and Jerry.
