balcony seats

12 years ago, da godma and i were colleagues. we were such snobs to each other. then one fine smoke-break, we were forced to talk (coz the smoking area was really small - REALLY!) and found that we had many common friends, that we are the same age, that we are both convent girls and most imptly both scorps with bdays just days away from each other. how cool is that! A FRIEND WAS BORN.

from that mo, we gave humour and laughter to each other when work was shit. comforted each other's sore asses whenever our boss eff-ed us for something we didn't do. i think we may have almost given each other lung cancer as we smoked our way thru many late nights and burnt weekends. A good support group (and marlboro) are sooo impt when work is overwhelming.

thru the years, our relationship morphed from friend to family. when angel-girl was born, hubs and i knew we wanted her to be a part of our family for life, so we made her da godma to our precious first born. don't you love it when you can actually choose your family?!

she has taken this role very seriously. she comes round every weekend to hang with the fam. when the kids are finally asleep, we get to do what we like to do best, out-wit, out-goof and out-geek each other. (but she wins the geek race hands down).
