Interior Design Wannabes

Nicole (not pictured above (or below for that matter)) and I have been friends since I was 14. In many ways we're not even close to the people who first met in grade nine French class. But nothing significant has changed either. We're both opinionated, logical and articulate. We both know our own minds and neither of us is easily led. She's a Christian and I'm confused. I could happily spend a month not talking to a soul and she's a social butterfly. I'm horribly unorganized and she ....well, she coordinates our girls weekends away for one. Frankly they should give awards for that because getting 6-8 women on one page is like herding cats.

Still, there isn't much I haven't shared with her over the years and she's been there through some of my best and worst moments. A few times people have asked if we're sisters. Obviously the answer to that is no, but she might as well be. I am completely at ease anytime we're together and when she invites you into her home she might as well invite you into her heart.

All this, and she has fabulous taste in pewter decanters.
