Girl talk
Being that I report mainly on the interests of women, I tend to spend a significant amount of time with — well, women. Needless to say, the result is a lot of girl talk, the most recent of which occurred last Thursday when I went to speak with a group of women involved with the Nacogdoches Treatment Center bazaar. I have to tell you, these women were a hoot. They practically had me rolling on the floor from tales of romantic evenings gone wrong to online dating disasters. They each use an artistic talent to design and produce the items sold at the bazaar, all the while enjoying the favorite female pastime — gossip. “It’s kind of like Steel Magnolias around here,” Mary Anne Oglesbee told me as I recovered from yet another hysterical tale. The women, aside from Oglesbee, are all volunteers, and they all, Oglesbee included, appear to truly enjoy each other’s company. As I listened to them interact, I realized that these ladies have forged lifelong friendships, something that appears to be in abundance throughout many of the women’s organizations and clubs of Nacogdoches.

Women need each other. It’s a fact and often a gift taken for granted. I met my best friend in kindergarten, 24 years ago. She and I have been through first loves, lost loves, marriages, births, deaths, bad hair choices, wardrobe malfunctions and a ton of diets to say the least. She is the first person I call when I have a bad day or just need to vent. Every day we deal with kids, work, money, school, pets, doctor appointments and all that life tries to seduce us with. We love each other unconditionally. Without her love and support I would have gone crazy. Somedays we sit on the porch and rant and rave about life and other days she won’t let me waller in my misery. She motivates me to keep my chin up, my house clean and my kids close. So be grateful for the best friend you have. Let her know you love her!!!
