The Infirmaties of a Dear Friend

So I was in Madison last weekend visiting the one, the only, the lovely Breena a.k.a Kit. The last minute decision to go to Madison was a great idea, and just what I needed in the midst of all the life changes and the need to spend some quality time with one of my oldest and best friends. (This is the part where I give a shout out to Kit --HEY HEY!!) What could have been better than going to the Zoo, seeing Wall-E (which you all should definitely see), going to Target, and watching the Olympics?

But I have to admit that I was feeling pretty darn bad for my dear old friend. Apparently a week before I saw her, a blood vessel broke in her eye. I still squirm when I think about it. Unfortunately, this has left her eye very red. And being the polite person I am, when I got there and she came to the door I immediately blurted out, "what's up with your eye?" Then for the next day I wanted to avert my gaze from the poor girl's eye, kind of like when you are talking to someone with a lazy eye and you don't know what eye you should look at (no offense to the lazy eyed people out there). Fortunately for our friendship, I was able to get over my insensitive ways and look my hetero-life long mate* straight in the eye. No pun intended.

I could not help but posting this hilarious picture. Late one night as we were watching the gold medal match of table tennis -- that's right, I was surprised to hear that it was in the Olympics too -- we thought a picture of Breena showing her appreciation of the sport was appropriate. The result, the above, with a wonderful depiction of that red eye and Kit looking like a very "special" cross eyed fanatic of competitive ping-pong.

But Kit, I hope your eye is doing great.

*Definition of hetero-life long mate: Two female heterosexuals who want to have a committed friendship for the duration of both of their lives. For example, if both marry and their husbands die before them, they will live out the rest of their days together in a nursing home.
