My good old friend Erica is flying in today for a Portland visit and I can hardly wait. \u00a0In law school, we had the perfect trifecta. \u00a0Kat, Erica and myself. \u00a0I used to kid that if I ever wrote a tv show, I’d have to base it on us. \u00a0Kat was the blond from Rhode Island. \u00a0She used to get dressed in full make up and hair to go to the grocery store which is pretty unusual for Oregon. \u00a0She was our sweet one who cried at every Hallmark moment and once lost her cordless phone in her apartment for a week. \u00a0Erica was our feisty red-head from the south. \u00a0She was definitely the mother of the group. \u00a0When your heart was broken and you need a shoulder to cry on, Erica was your girl. \u00a0She’s a non-nonsense, go getter with a real spark. \u00a0I was the brunette from California. \u00a0Not so much on the mothering but heavy on the sarcasm. \u00a0 We complimented each other beautifully and supported each other even more. \u00a0So it was with much regret that Kat and I watched Erica move back to Louisville after graduation. \u00a0We were down one southern redhead and they aren’t easy to replace! \u00a0Erica’s last visit was right after Leina was born so I didn’t get to see her much being in the middle of tiny child shock. \u00a0That was four years ago! \u00a0That’s a long time to have to go without Southern Spice.<\/p>\n
But she’s back! \u00a0She flies in the moring and will be here all weekend. \u00a0 Even better, I’ve managed to get rid of the kids to Grandma Vicki’s for the weekend so I’ll be flying solo which means lots of time to catch up and bask in the reunited trio once again. \u00a0I can’t wait.<\/p>\n
Does anyone know any single Portland men who like red headed girls from the south? \u00a0I’m willing to play dirty to get her back here full time. \u00a0Send me any leads you have!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
