Girls Will Be Girls

When is a girl too big to have a sleepover? Our girls group that meets on Saturdays to study our Book together had a sleepover this past Saturday. My cooking skills have obviously matured about as much as I have since I'm still attending sleepovers and managing to char your basic sugar cookie! No, that picture is not in black and white. Hate to tell you that, but its not. I totally forgot and just about burned our apartment building down, I'm sure. What am I going to do with myself? I'm embarrassed to tell you that those cookies were supposed to be snicker doodles! I did manage to make a delicious batch that preceded this particular batch (no evidence,I know because they are not pictured...but they did exist), but well... no one's perfect right? My roommate and I are watching Alias via d.v.d.'s because we don't have television. So, every now and then we'll get our fix of Jennifer Garner and I will convince myself again for that day that I could join the C.I.A., right? So, I managed to let myself get carried away into Sidney Bristow's world of high adventure and espionage and forgot about the cookies. Girl power. Any who, back to the girls' night. It was a really encouraging night. The girls are really sweet and it's very encouraging to see them grow in sisterly affection. But, they are also really sweet because they humor me by listening to me! Normally, I have to not only study for our meetings, but then on top of that, I have to study in Turkish for our meetings. But on an occasion like this, I was winging it, relying just on my every day Turkish which has finally gotten to the point that I can have normal every day conversations, and I can have serious conversations, and I can have funny conversations, and I can have midnight conversations. The later it gets, the more tired my brain gets! They really are such sweet friends. It's neat to be at a place where there are nationals here that I really connect with and can have friendships of a like minded heart. I love all my friends here, no doubt...but these girls are precious to me.
