with the invention of a little thing called facebook, kris (henceforth to be called queen bird <or queenie for short> for reasons to be explained at a later date) and i reconnected, in january of 2009. married life had moved me to a small town near the coast of north carolina, so we were now an entire continent apart. we chatted online for a month before one of us worked up the nerve to pick up the phone. i mean, it's gonna be weird, right? it wasn't. remember how i said we are best friends/sisters? time really doesn't change that. we talked nearly every day and decided one of us needed to migrate to the opposite coast for a face to face. in august, queenie landed in myrtle beach, thus ending a 33 year separation. she had another bird in tow, tbird (more on her later). we had an epic girls' (well...except for jamie was there for one day and duckie was there for two) weekend with lots of laughter, new tattoos, mini cooper road shows, and gigantic birdie marys. we found out that we listen to the same music (and have intense love for all things incubus), the same taste in tv/movies, and even dress very similar (ummm...how do we keep buying the EXACT same dresses when there is an entire continent dividing us?). we have the same sense of humor. her's is a little sicker than mine! we talk every couple days. we text everyday. sometimes i even get her birthday presents to her on time. and, unless jamie has a surprise up his sleeve, this might be the first year we don't have a face to face.
