All you really need is Friends

This past week was an emotional time for alot of my best friends. With out getting into too much personal information my friends all had a rough week.  On sat night Margaret, Maren  and I made some homemade pizzas and were hanging out.  Our friend Quint showed up after being in Chicago(Hinsdale) for his Grandpas funeral and we could not of been more excited to see him.  Maren actually surprised him and it was the one of the best surprises I have ever seen.  Probably because almost every surprise I have ever tried to pull off never has quite worked out the way I planned it in my head (Ashley Palm in S.C., Billy at his rest.) but anyways it was adorable. Quint was so thankful to be with us and while thanking us all of us girls starting crying...well maybe that was just me.  But while crying I came to the realization that no matter how much life sux at times when you are with your best friends it just seems that much more bitter sweet. We were all hugging and I just started balling. I love having friends that at any time of the day will come out from the wood works and be there for you. I have always thought that line "be there for you" was cliche but I do not know any other way to put it.  It was one of those moments I will always remember.  I was just being a friend at that moment to someone who has always be such a great friend to me.  I put that moment up there with the one I had this past summer.  I was in the car  driving to Panera in Auburn with Maren and some other castle girls while we listened to Rascal Flatts and all hysterically crying..cuz i quote the one line from the song MY WISH~that reminds me of college all the time.  It is "and when you're out there getting where you;re getting to I hope you know somebody loves you and wants the same things too"  I think that line sums up college and how important it is to know that sometimes the best thing you can do is let your friends be a shoulder to lean on and know that there are people out there wishing the best for you!

Great times

This past week has been so great...

I went to Atlanta to visit Abby and Lori and had the best time.  We got to go to fun dinners and have lots of quality time. We spent alot of the weekend drinking wine and getting excited for the wedding! Whoot Whoot Sam and Abby are getting married in September. On my great trip in Atlanta I got a call from kathryn(ashleys bestie) informing me that her mom and her were going to be making there way to Charleston, SC on sat. I was totally unprepared for the trip since I thought i was meeting up with Ashley the weekend after.  This seems normal since for my two hour drive to Atlanta on Thursday I talked to Ashley for a majority of the time telling her how excited I was about going to see Abby and spending the weekend in Atlanta.  Well she claims this never crossed her mind. Anyways all worked out and actually for the best cuz  Atlanta is actually half way from Birmingham to Charleston SO we were able to meet up in Columbia and spend an amazing weekend in Charleston.  The trip was all I wanted it to be and more. I am so refreshed by amazing weekend visits with my best friends.  Even if they do keep me up all night like Ashley like to do.   I love road trip so much. I love talking on my phone for hours and blasting music.  The bad part is that I spend the whole time traveling there anticipating my trip and the whole trip back being sad about that the trip is over. However I have taught myself to spend the journey back being thankful for the amazing times and not dwelling on when or how long til they will happen once more.  However these kinds of weekend trips are what make me never want to move from Birmingham cuz I am right in the middle of visiting alot of people that I love so much!

so..

My blog has only been going for two days and it is already getting lots of criticism.   Of course from who else then THE BLOGGER Jake Turner Bartlow. Though he does not want to blog anymore he wants me to know that my blog is not how he would like. I am not sure that he would like anything but he wanted me to know that,"Margo. nothing I write and post is a rant.  It's highly thought out and edited.  It' s also very funny, intelligent, and interesresting, which is why a lot of people read about it and ask for more.  It's different than just talking about a couple of primetime soaps in a whimsical manner. 

I tried to claim that this was not a rant and more so a girls idea on a topic.  No such luck I guess I will just have to wish upon the next shooting star to wish to be/do something that Jake finds impressive.  Love ya

I'm sorry to say...

That I did not call One Tree Hill to be one of my favorite shows but it is!  Unlike every other teen drama I have ever been into I have called before I started watching it for example

*90210(Probably should not of been watching this at such a young age but I had Mary Pat to get me into it along with My So Called Life

*Party of 5

*Dawsons Creek

*O.C.

*Friday Night Lights

*Gossip Girl

*Felicity(can't actually call this one cuz a best friend (Ashley) turned me onto this claiming I would relate it to my own life obessively which I did)

Like a music snob I am proud to say that all of these other shows that turned into a hit I called from the start and made it my goal to make all my other friends as into it as I was.  Then when they were turned on I would remind them time and time again about how I was the one who turned them onto it and of course had watched it from the pilot rather then when it started to be called the hit show and the stars were all over U.S. Weekly and other similar magazines.

Anyways back to the topic I think I love One Tree Hill for a few reasons.  For starters I will admit that this fifth season is the first one I have watched regularly. I saw a few eps here and there in the past and basically got the idea about who was who with the characters and plot. However this fifth season is great because they skipped all of college and flashed forward to right after college. Though it is so unreal that everyone accomplished their goals immediately in the four years of college it is still great. It is pretty much a whole season of the series finale of Dawsons Creek. We all know and if you don't I am not ashamed to say that I watch the Dawsons Creek series finale like a movie.  No joke I have probably seen it twenty plus times.  Anyways I get very senti-mental about all the high school friends coming to their wits about moving back to their own small made up home town Tree Hill. I imagine Tree Hill as a town similar to my own home town Hinsdale.  It is a much prettier version but still strikes something inside of me.  I think everyone should jump on the band wagon and watch it.  For the soul purpose that all the episodes are on cw online and FREE!  Tonights episode was better than I imagined and I am eagerly awaiting next week.  It really is taking my mind of the writers strike that is making me and millions of others very unhappy.  I can't take another recap episode of Gossip Girl...because of course please...I did not miss an episode all season and if I would have I have the most amazing website  thanks to Leslie to update me

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and I plan on giving up

*Sweets and limiting myself to one diet coke a day-I gave up pizza for about ten years straight but I figured I should pick something new these days
