"Thank you for being a friend....

...Travel down the road and back again.

Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant. 

bah da dum, dum, DUM

AND IF YOU THREW A PARTY

INVITED EVERYONE YOU KNEW...

YOU WOULD SEE THE BIGGEST GIFT WOULD BE FROM ME

AND THE CARD ATTACHED WOULD SAY

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND"

That's right.  I'm making it through Day #2 of Bed Rest with the love and support of the best of friends...Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia.  It's a Golden Girls Marathon and I'm loving every minute of it.  I am a little frightened by the wardrobe though.  Wowzers...those ladies dressed CRAZY!  I have no clue where the costume designer dug these duds up!!!  And why did Dorothy's shirts always come down to her knees, and where do you find a shirt long enough to come down to a 6' tall woman's knees????

Check out Dorothy's wedding dress.  I think this was the series finale.  Too bad I couldn't find this lovely frock when searching for my own wedding gown. 

Dorothy's Sea Green Crushed Velvet Tuxedo Dress (complete with bow tie) with NFL sized shoulder pads + Blanche's Satin Harem Pants, Sequin Top (also featuring NFL shoulder pads) - what could be wrong with that?  I do admire the fact that Blanche was wearing high heels in every single episode...no matter what she was doing :) 

Ready for a workout?

Halloween Costumes anyone? 

Sophia makes the perfect Sonny to Dorothy's Cher. 

Or perhaps Chicken Little, Loosey Goosey & Henny Penney?

 

Peachy?  Seriously, did people actually wear stuff like this in the 80's????????  And even more frightening...will this be making a comeback like all other 80's gear?  Talk about SCARY!

Aforementioned knee length shirts....

I think I have 7 or 8 more episodes to go.  The Italians already sick of hearing the theme song :)  How can you get sick of that song?  It's awesome.  We'll see how I feel about it 4 hours from now. 

But in all seriousness the show does remind me of the value of friendships and girlfriends in particular.  I feel SO blessed to have such amazing girlfriends (and so many of them) and feel so lucky to have texts, phone calls, emails and facebook messages from everyone checking in on me :)  And I have no double that when we're in our 60's, 70's and 80's we'll still be there for one another. 

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND.  I love you all!!!  xoxo
