I have a friend named Lisa. We are pretty great individually *ahem*… We each care for and love our children. We each have great husbands worthy of much admiration and swooning. We each shop for groceries. We each do the dishes and laundry. We each crack ourselves up. We each are thankful for unlimited texting packages. We each love us our Facebook – where we treat our pages like our own comedy club. We each have our own friends and many shared friends… due to the vortex of craziness we create. It’s hard to keep from sucking others in… We each appreciate a really good pair of jeans and a really goooood cup of coffee. We also each love to dance and to LOL.

We don’t just use Twitter hashtags in Twitter – we use them in emails, texts and conversations with each other – because we “get” each other.  We talk in “text”. Sure, saying the letters “SRSLY” take longer than saying the word “seriously”, but comedy sometimes means you go for that extra syllable. We get that.

Lisa and I are better together. Funnier. Sillier. Joyfulier. Braver. SRSLY. #somuch

Silliness!!!!

I’d say we’re like Laurel and Hardy, or Lucy and Ethel, OR Tina Fey and Amy Poehler!!! O.K…. perhaps we are MOST like nitro and glycerin… She makes me laugh until I snort… I make her laugh to the point of peeing… When I snort she pees, when she pees, I snort. It’s a vicious cycle, really. If laughter is the best medicine, then Lisa and I are verrrrry well-medicated…

And there you have it. Just as a splash of raspberry syrup makes the chocolate and coffee in a mocha go *SHAZAM!*, so does a splash of Lisa in the cup of my life.

    That is so funny! I snort too! My mom and I are a great match. We know so much about each other. It is like we are sisters instead of mother/daughter.

    I want a friend like that.

    My 4 yr old is my perfect match. She’s been my life line since before she was born, and I don’t know what I’d do without her.

    We’ll see if I feel the same way in 10 years. ;-)

    I have been with my hubby since I was 16 and married to him since I was 19! We just celebrated our 20th first date anniversary and are going to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary in a few months! It never ceases to amaze me either. My hubby has taught me to be less selfish and controlling, has helped me to reach dream goals (like getting my degree), helped me to discover hidden talents, and just in general made me so much of a better person than I ever would have been on my own. He teaches me daily and we learn from each other.

    My life partner is my whole world. She makes me laugh, fills me with love and longing (in a good way LOL), and brings me joy in life that is really hard to put into words. We balance each other and keep each other grounded. We support each other thru it all and know what is important (and its not THINGS).

    My sister! We may be 6 years apart in age, but we’re like twins! We read eachothers mind, finish each others sentences, laugh our butts off together, and we’re always there for eachother. She’s awesome! Makes me glad to be me :)

    I and my husband compliment each other. We are opposites but we make a really good team together. We both love our kids like crazy. It is almost like we are one unity. It is nice having someone that close.

    I make perfect sense with my husband. We pretty much always know what each other is thinking. We have the same ideas to fix a problem. We have a lot of the same interests. We’re definitely not perfect, but we sure are near perfect for each other!

    Shawna OBrien says:

    My youngest son and I. We make perfect sense with each other. My older son makes perfect sense with my husband as they are just alike and totally get each other. My youngest son was born with a very rare brain disorder, but despite his challenges, he is like me in so many ways. Even just his littlest mannerisms that he does, I look at him and say “my goodness the only person I know who does that is me.” We are so incredibly close and have so much fun together and I’ve taught him so many skills. Lately he has made a big jump in a wide range of areas. I feel like no one will ever love and appreciate him the way I do – even though my husband and family love the heck out of him. I know that God gave him to me because I needed him. He is my life and I mean that in the best possible way.

    I make perfect sense with my partner because he’s always here with me and always there for me. He is consistently caring, kind, and thoughtful in every way — ever ready to help and lend a hand with whatever needs to be done. He’s been by my side through menopause and surgery — sickness and in health. We have our moments, but I couldn’t ask for a better support system. He’s my best friend, my soul mate, the yin for my yang! *Thanks* for the giveaway!

    I nearly started snorting *and* peeing reading about yours and Lisa’s snorting and peeing… respectively! :)

    I make close to perfect sense with my best friend from high school… at least, currently. We can talk about anything and have been friends for (mmmfff) years! :)

    Mrs. Langworthy says:

    Gotta be my husband — makes perfect sense — we are definitely better together — I start things, he finishes them… projects. I cheer him on to get the job done. If we were separate, then I would start projects and quit because I didn’t have the skill to complete them. He would have a technically brilliant project, but it wouldn’t have the flair if I wasn’t there… takes both of us — makes perfect sense — we really GAIN from being together. ;)

    My dude. He gets me. I don’t have to explain myself. He’s seen the good and bad and accepts and loves me as I am and that’s such a joy to know, so warm and comforting.

    Thank you!

    My sister Elle is my perfect match as she is far closer to me than any friend. She is so awesome. Always has the right words and the best hugs!
