Her name is Toni, and we critiqued each other for three years, and through two of my major moves across country. Now we live in the same city and it's lovely - although we're both so busy with writing and our families, I have to admit we spend just as much time emailing each other personally or through our blogs, as we did before.Laurie Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330756465929904994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-4234529780735703852008-09-18T11:09:00.000-07:002008-09-18T11:09:00.000-07:00Serena from Savvy Verse & Wit and I have been ...Serena from Savvy Verse & Wit and I have been real life friends for 13 years!

My other best friend and I grew up in the same neighborhood, she is a few years younger than me and my brother was her first boyfriend in middle school. We both collect teddy bears and the gal at the post office would mention to each of us you should call this other lady who collects the same bears. She called and we found out our connection and have been friends ever since.Nise' https://www.blogger.com/profile/15586400022454009379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-84008410147810280012008-09-18T08:35:00.001-07:002008-09-18T08:35:00.001-07:00I have a great set of friends (five ladies) who ar...I have a great set of friends (five ladies) who are all moms that I met when my son was in kindergarten, two years ago. We got to know each other by volunteering on field trips, and in the classroom. I think it had something to do with my son having a very special kindergarten teacher who made it a joy to volunteer, so that all of the adults were having just as much fun as the kids. After that we met at each kid's birthday party. This year the district opened up a new school, and half of the kids went to the new school. I hope all of us moms are able to keep the friendships just as close, now that our kids are at different schools.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-53546896902552405952008-09-18T08:35:00.000-07:002008-09-18T08:35:00.000-07:00A have a college friend that I only see every few ...A have a college friend that I only see every few years.

Today I rectified this situation by bookmarking you as soon as I saw this post. YAY!! :D<BR/><BR/>As for friendships... I don't know as any of my friendships are really all that unique, but they're rich, fulfilling, and priceless. Some of my best friends in life are women I've met online. One of my friends and I met through a mommy match up site (a site that you can use to find other mommies in your area so that you can have playdates, etc) when our kids were just 6-8mos old. Today our kiddos are 5+, and we're closer than ever. I can't imagine what life would be like without her or my other friends I've met online.<BR/><BR/>RebekahC<BR/>littleminx at cox dot netRebekah (monkeygirlsmama)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10270995294530238163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-15560810699842309782008-09-18T06:27:00.000-07:002008-09-18T06:27:00.000-07:00Sounds like you really enjoyed the book in your re...Sounds like you really enjoyed the book in your review. <BR/><BR/>A unique friendship I have is with my mom's best friend's daughter. She's only 7 months older than me and we've known each other literally all our lives. The thing is, because we were so close when we grew up, I ended up resenting her for a few years when I was a kid. But today, she's the person I tell everything to. She's like my best friend, and a sister as well. <BR/><BR/>Carmen T<BR/>carmenalexistsang[at]gmail[dot]comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303971.post-6771068093344825372008-09-18T06:18:00.000-07:002008-09-18T06:18:00.000-07:00My unique friendship with with my best friend.
