Friendship!!

So today I was thinking and I've decided that there are a ton of different types of friends.

The Friends-On-Facebook friend ~ This is the friend that comments on your posts, likes your pictures, and keeps up with your life via Facebook. This friend is pretty much only good in the virtual sense since they're never around in real life.

The Great-For-Coffee friend ~ This is the friend that is always saying "lets do coffee!" and when you do you spend 2 hours reconnecting and catching up on each others life's. This friend is great when you need some java and adult conversation!

The Flake ~ This is the friend that is always saying "we need to hang out" and then when you invite her somewhere she can NEVER make it. This friend is pretty much good for nothing.

The Lets-Talk-About-Me friend ~ This friend is so conceded that they don't really care about you, they just like to have you to listen to every detail of their life for hours! Not really good for much except if you really want to know how many guys she slept with last week, then she  might be good for something!

The Work-Out friend ~ This friend is always there to go to the gym with you or just go for a long jog. This friend is good for a lot actually. She helps you stay fit, keeps you motivated, and provides you with someone to ease your fear of gym rats, aka nasty men that stare at you while you jog.

The Play-Date friend ~ This friend is great when you want to get the kids interacting and need some adult time. Play-Date friends are even better if they give you quality conversations.

The Dirty friend~ This is the friend that you can talk about all of your "naked time" topics with and she wont judge. She'll give great advice on how to spice it up, how to make it last, and how to keep the spark alive. She's also great to tell your embarrassing naked time stories to and she'll laugh and then tell you that she's sure that's not the worst thing to ever happen during naked time.

The Work friend ~ This is your friend from work, duh! You have a great time working together and maybe even get into a little trouble with her, but when it's time for quittin time it's hard to say if she'll be following you home, if you know what I mean.

The Friend-That-Used-To-Be-Your-Friend-But-Now-Is-More-Of-An-Acquaintance friend ~ This is someone who you used to be really close with, but as time goes on and lives change you grow apart and become more of just acquaintances. You still like to consider her your friend but it's hit and miss when you actually talk or hang out. It's not that you don't like each other anymore, it's just that so much has gone on in your respective lives that it's hard to keep up.

The Nice-To-Your-Face-Then-Talk-Bad-Behind-Your-Back friend ~ This person is exactly what the title says. They aren't really good for anything since every time you hear one more lie they spread about you it just makes you more angry. They may smile and wave when you see them driving, or comment nice things on your facebook, but when you're not looking they're out there saying bad things about you that may or may not be true.

And finally. . . ..

The Real-True friend ~ This is the friend that answers when you call. Laughs at your jokes, makes fun of you when you trip and fall but then help you up, takes you out to lunch cause you're having a bad day, buys you something totally random on your birthday just because she knows you'll like it, listens to your money troubles and doesn't judge, gives advice when you want it and just listens when you need it, dyes your hair cause you're too poor to go have it done, convinces you to try going commando, listens to your secrets and never ever tells them to anyone, encourages you, loves you, tells you you're wrong when you are, and tells you you aren't when you're not, talks about boyfriends, fiancees, husbands or ex's with you, tells you that your ex is a douche even if they never knew him just because she knows that he hurt you, invites you over for breakfast, calls you when her husband is working late just to talk about the funny text she got from him earlier, laughs with you, cries with you, supports you, and most importantly loves you for who you are.

So now is the tough question, what kind of friend are you?

Summer Love

Summer is a time for love. New love, old love....just LOVE!  And I've decided that this summer my love is going to be me! I'm going to LOVE being a better me : )

This morning I  went to Zumba with my lovely friend Falesha. It was so amazing! It was high energy, good music and I'm sure to anyone passing by watching Falesha and I, absolutely hilarious! I've never danced a day in my life. I never even took one dance class. The most dance this girl has done (with the exception of during gymnastics, and lets be honest here, finger flicks and toe kicks isn't really what I call "dancing") is in the shower or with the wii remote in my hand! So regardless of my lack of dance skills I decided to take this class. I loved it! If I can just keep eating right and doing this class I have a feeling that by the end of summer I won't be so nervous to flaunt that ah-maze-ING bikini I bought! Wish me luck and keep following! I'll soon be posting a "pre-Zumba-and-eating-healthier" photo and will be sharing recipes and work out tips that I learn along the way!!

Peace

Oh, and PS I haven't had ice cream in two weeks!!! This coming from a girl that could eat ice cream every day (if it wouldn't make me fat)!!

Teriyaki Chicken!!

So this was supposed to be posted on Thursday night but it didn't happen. So here it is now!

I got this recipe from Kraft Foods dot com and then altered it a little!

What you'll need:

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups instant brown rice
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup planters salted peanuts
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
2 tbl spoons minced garlic
2 tbl spoons oil
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 bag frozen broccoli

All of the ingredients

Slice the chicken into strips

Put chicken, oil, and peanut butter into non stick skillet and cook on medium high heat for 7-9 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through out

When Chicken is cooked add garlic, teriyaki sauce and water.

Bring to a boil

Add remaining ingredients, reduce heat to medium low, and cover. Cook covered for 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat after and let sit covered for 5 minutes.

Uncover and fluff with fork.

Ta-Da! Enjoy!!

I used fresh broccoli because I like it better and because I like it a little crunchy. Make sure you use a skillet that has a lid otherwise you'll have to transfer into a bigger pot with a lid! I hope you'll try it out and I hope it is just as good to you as it was to me!! I also thought it was pretty easy to make : ) If you like you can add sliced carrots and red peppers for extra color and flavor.
