Cricket.

Everyone meet Cricket. She's my bes-fran. She also happens to be related to me :)
She loves cats. (But not to the point of crying every time she thinks about them.) She has strays and drop-offs from time to time. Some stay at her work, some are at her house. She's got a big heart! :)

We do not live close to each other, but when we do get together, chaos ensues. Here is an example of a SLIGHTLY crazy time with Cricket.

Sometimes we get a little overwhelmed with the chaos and sometimes things start to not make sense or make us sound like we've been inhaling too much helium. Sometimes, it happens all at once. And we end up with strange conversations like "A circle with a triangle on top", or random words like "85". Crazy right?! There were also a few times that we made midnight snack runs to the kitchen. Miss Pearl PickleBottom may remember this as well. But the craziness does not get old.

With this in mind, let me tell you that we are both, completely sane people while we are doing our own thing. USUALLY. Although, I question my sanity more than I would ever question her sanity. (That girl has got it together!) But when we get together something happens to our (or maybe just mine) brains. I believe it is something similar to melting, only I think it involves glitter, beads and paper mache.

She is very crafty and talented with a camera! I love her to death, and dread thinking of not being able to drive down to visit whenever I can, when I move to the wintery tundra. Anyway... here's to you Cricket.
