Happy Birthday to Lisa!

A good online friend of mine that I have known for more than 5 years now; is celebrating a birthday today! She is one of my most special friends in the whole wide world and I would certainly be lost without her. We met more than 5 years ago on April 1st, 2003 while playing in a cribbage league together. We both enjoyed playing crib (the card game); so it didn’t take us too long to hit things off. Lisa was just learning  to play crib or cribbage at the time and I taught her a few things in crib and Lisa taught me how to laugh, smile and just enjoy life in general.

I can’t believe more than 5 years has passed and it seems just like yesterday we was playing crib against each other in a league called Teammates and our crib games were played at Pogo in a room called Violet Eyes. I was on the Loonie Tunes Team and Lisa played for the Mistys. So even though we played on different crib teams, we kept up with each other everyday on MSN Instant Messenger. Even today we still talk almost daily on MSN Instant Messenger.

Even though me and Lisa share a lot of the same interests, we also have a lot of different opinions on other things and for more than 5 years now, we just can’t quite seem to get the other one on the same page. For instance, I know the Atlanta Braves is the best baseball team out there, but my friend from New York believes the boys in pinstripes are the best and she’s a big time New York Yankees fan. She even has an aunt that is real good friends with Bernie Williams (ex New York Yankee) mother or grandmother. So Lisa’s love for the Yankees and mine for the Braves has kept baseball an interesting topic over the last 5 years. We just need a Yankees and Braves World Series to prove who has the better baseball team and maybe that will happen this year.

Lisa is Italian and is a great cook! She sends me the stuff to make lasagna and it’s by far the best I have ever tasted. She puts a few things in a little container that has to marinate for a short time and by the time it arrives to my home in Georgia, it has one of the best smells you could imagine. Lisa’s Lasagna is well worth the 8 hours you have to spend slaving over the stove to prepare it properly.

Movies has been another very common thing we have shared over the years and I have watched about 500 more movies over the last few years because of Lisa, that normally I probably wouldn’t have seen. So since I like to play trivia from time to time, it’s really come in handy watching all of these movies I have now seen.

Today is June 5th and it is my very special friend from New York’s Birthday, so I would just like to take the time to tell her thanks for all the times and memories we have shared over the last 5 years and I look just as forward to the next 5 years and see what our friendship has in store for us. One thing I can say about Lisa, is life is never predictable when you’re around Lisa and just when you thought you have saw or heard it all, she comes up with a whole new way to yank my chain or make me laugh.

Happy Birthday Lisa!

Here’s a little song I found that touches my heart. I know your not into country music as much as me, but I like the message in this song and I think it fits a lot of the ways I feel about you!

More Than A Memory

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA!
