The best medicine is spending the day with your best friend

So Monday was a great day because I got to spend the day with my best friend Elise Nichols. She is an amazing friend that I can't say thank you enough to. For the next couple of weeks I'm not allowed to be left alone at all (which is really annoying), but it was great to have Elise stay with me on Monday cause she treated me like I was normal. I miss my independence.

She helped me write my blog from yesterday because a lot of what happened to me I don't even remember or understand. Plus my spelling isn't as well right now so she spell-checked everything :). Then we watched the movie "Something Borrowed." We had both read the book the movie was based on, and the movie was pretty good.

Then I had her help me with a couple things. First she helped me pick out a dress for Kelli Kite's wedding in St. Simons. I learn on Thursday from my doctor if I'm allowed to go (fingers crossed). And then we went out to the Avenues in west Cobb to go shopping at Charming Charlies. I needed to get a hat because the wedding is outdoors. I ended up getting 3 hats and 2 purses - it was hard to figure out which one I really wanted so I got them all. I've never been a big hat person, but now that I have supper short hair I sometimes have to wear hats so that my head has more coverage. I miss my long curly hair, but having short hair makes it very easy to get ready in the morning. It takes like 2 minutes to dry after I get out of the shower. I just changed out my purse to one of my new ones and found about 4 rubberbands in my old purse that I don't even need anymore.

After spending tons of money at Charming Charlie Elise and I went to Chilli's for lunch. That is one of our favorite places to eat, and they have really good strawberry lemonade. I treated her to lunch since she was helping to take care of me. We also had dessert and the waitress told us about their seasonal  red velvet dessert. It was soooooo good - if you eat at Chilli's anytime soon you should try it!

Elise and I also planned our next big trip. This April we went and spent 10 days in Hawaii, and we've always said our next vacation will be to Greece. We've decided to go when we both turn 30, which is in just over 3 years. Both of us are a little short on vacation and it would be a great 30th bday trip.

After we got home from running errands I had to put up all the dishes in the dishwasher (my physical trainer has given me chores like I'm a teenager to help get my body back to work - today I have to do laundry). And then I took a nap and she read her book. But it was just a great time to spend the day with my best friend. We talked a lot, laughed a lot, and I was able to just be honest with her and tell her how I was feeling. I thank God so much that I have such a special friend!!!!!
