I have kick a$$ girlfriends and we have kick a$$ toys. We go to the gym. We go to the range. We go jogging... We play video games. We blog and banter... We cook. We shop. We eat... Sometimes, we get together and parallel play like mutant kids, cleaning our weapons, doing laundry in the basement between working on-line and/or recreational reading side by side for hours on end while barely saying a single word to each other.

It's a very comfortable and old silence. Sometimes a Mona Lisa smile, saucy wink or quirky flick of an eye brow says it all. Just being together makes us happy because old friends don't feel a need to have to entertain or chatter incessantly. We can just be...

When we share quiet time it is priceless to me because my wee people are always making noise (LOL). I think that's why I virtually lurk late at night and early in the morning reading blog posts and answering e-mail. I enjoy the quiet time with my virtual friends as well...

You ever have a group of friends who make you smile no matter what?

I think that is the best part of ActiveRain.

I know when I am with you I am going to smile and eventually howl with laughter about something... Sometimes, cleaning the toys can be mad fun after working out and coming home to Club Chaos becuse cleaning the toys relaxes me. Cleaning the toys means my workout is completed. Cleaning the toys mean I had playtime with my brick and mortar law enforcement friends.

BTW, I promised you guys a gym update: The Grannies kicked my a$$ in cardio again. Oh well... Can't be great at everything (LOL).

I'll will settle for good, after all, I am improving ( if comparing yourself to two grandmothers count - ROTFL). I should invite them to the range. Maybe if I teach them how to shoot they will tech me how to box. How's that for Quid Pro Quo? (LOL). Just thinking... ;-)

Personal note: Can't wait to see TLW in December. Were going shooting together!!! Yay! Mama, I have more toys to show you (LOL). These are my faves. ;-)
