My Person(s)

Grey's Anatomy has been my a show that I love for years now.  I watched it every Thursday night with Kellie -- we would clean house, pack to go home for the weekend, I would drink wine from a box, and we would watch Grey's.  It was our ritual, our thing. 

Now that we are grown-ups [Well, Kellie is a grown-up, she is married and about to pop out a sweet little baby boy] I still watch the show, I still drink wine, I just do it alone these days.  When I was watching the last four episodes of the season I got to thinking about Christina and Meredith.  All the crazy things that those two have been thru, [I swear both of them have almost died 3 times or more]...they are so hateful to each other but at the end of they day, they are best friends.  They are each others "person" {other than their husbands}. I got to thinking about my "person" or could I just label one "person" in my life...  I have several friends I talk to everyday, who have my back when I need them, who support me, and I have came close to death with [The Miata, house fires, Spring River, Black River, Hawkeye Fest, backroads...just to name a few].

I have found some quotes that remind me on conversations I would have with a few of my "persons." ***Please note, I am always Christina, the loyal, to the point, and a B most of the time***

{Me and Erica}{Me and Chris Pugh}{Me and Emily D.}

CRISTINA: "What? I'm being supportive."
MEREDITH: "Really?"
CRISTINA: "Yeah, this is me being totally supportive. Go on."
MEREDITH: "Okay. The man I love has a wife and then he chooses her over me. Then the wife takes my dog. Well, she didn't actually take my dog. I gave it to her. But I didn't mean to give it to her, I meant to give it to him, and that doesn't change the fact that she's got Derek. And my McDog. She's got my McLife! What have I got? I can't even remember the last time we kissed. Because you never think the last time is the last time. You think you have forever, but you don't. Plus my conditioner decided to stop working and I think I have brittle bones. I need something to happen. I just need a sign. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope, and in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed and feel like I might die today."
CRISTINA: "Whatever. Everybody has problems. Get your ass out of bed and get to work. NOW! Move, move, move!"

{Me and Tiffany}
 MEREDITH: "No matter what, you walking down that aisle today. I need you to go down that aisle."
CRISTINA: "Is the toilet paper cutting off your circulation?"
MEREDITH: "You marrying Burke, it´s a sign. Sign that people like you and me ... can do this. Be healthy, be happy. You marrying Burke restores my faith in... me."
CRISTINA: "Ohhhh I get it. My wedding is about you."
MEREDITH: "Yes."

{Me and Kellie}
 MEREDITH:  " Whereas if you're my baby's godmother-in-waiting. It's only me and Derek. One wrong turn down a dark, twisty road. Boom, you're in."
CRISTINA:  "I will NOT be taking care of children.  That's what boarding schools are for."


{Me and Stormy}
CRISTINA:  "We don't have to do that thing, where you know, I say something, then you say something, and somebody cries, and there's like a moment..."
MEREDITH: "Yuck."
CRISTINA: "You should get some sleep. You look like crap."
MEREDITH: "I look better than you."
CRISTINA: "Not possible."

Even though I don't have one "person" it sure is nice to know that I have lots of "persons" that are there for me when I need them - and they come to me when they need someone to tell them the truth {or what I believe is the truth}!!!!

Boom, Happy Tuesday!
