A little bit homesick

You know those friends you have, the ones that have known you for decades.  Who you can send a garbled, auto-corrected text to and they know exactly what you're talking about.  Who ask about your parents and siblings and know their names and birthdays.  Who can list your allergies, favourite foods and crushes since the eighth grade.  Who wouldn't be able to bail you out of jail because they would be sitting in the cell next to you.

My friend Amy is one of those friends.  We grew up one street away from each other, practically lived together in high school and then really did as college roommates.  I am the sidekick to her smarter, sassier, cuter and more generous self and am more than happy to bask in the glow of her sparkle.  Amy hasn't lived in Texas for nearly a decade and she misses it.  Hell, it misses her.  So this post is dedicated to her plus all of the other Texans scattered around the world.  We love you and we miss you.  Y'all come back now, ya hear?  I'll take you out for a taco, even if it isn't Taco Thursday.

  3. I've never been to Texas, but I know exactly the kind of friend you're talking about and I also know what homesickness feels like... Yes, I miss France a lot at times... Have a lovely day xo

  5. Amy must really be something. If you're the sidekick, her awesomeness must be overwhelming. About that basking thing, spouses have been known to feel that way about each other too. :)

  7. I've only been in Texas once, on a layover at the Dallas airport. I had an egg mcmuffin. It was not an authentic Texas experience, I'd wager to say. xo

  16. I have only spent one night in Texas passing through the state, it was a small town and I can't remember the name but I remember eating the biggest steak in my life. I swear it was the size of the plate. And I have a friend like that too. Unfortunately she lives too far away to hang out with her often but whenever we see each other it feels like we just saw each other yesterday...

  17. Hope she can visit! Those friends are far and few.

  18. The more I read and hear, the more I'm starting to think you are the only good thin about Texas, Rooth. Now, I KNOW that isn't true, but face it, your press hasn't been the most flattering of late. I think you need to do more TX-is-OK(ay) posts for us.
