It’s Friday and that means it’s time to participate in another Five Minute Friday! In case you don’t know, Five Minute Friday is a movement started by Lisa Jo Baker, the Gypsy Mama, as she’s known, where bloggers sit down for five minutes and write what’s in their heart from a one word prompt.
Now Gypsy Mama probably knows what the correct punctuation should be in in the above sentence because clearly that’s what we call a run on. That just goes to show that that really I have no business hanging out with this #FMF crew. They’re all like ‘love, peace, dreams’ and I’m all like ‘Hey! Did I ever tell you about the time I went out with Tim McGraw?’ That’s okay, though! It’s a fun experiment!
The prompt for tonight is the word: Friend

Alright, just go on and admit it. Who else starting singing the theme song from The Golden Girls when they saw this week’s prompt? Oh, you remember it. “Thank you for being a friend, travelled down the road and back again.”
True Story: My cousin Rusty, who honestly could not be any manlier, loved the show The Golden Girls. It’s totally true!
Here he is:
Hmmm…that picture doesn’t show him in all his manly glory. Here he is lately:
Alright, that picture is not super accurate either because it’s of us at college but I’ve only got five minutes to write and I just spent 85 seconds putting pictures up. That’s my cousin Margaret on the left. The three of us were super best pals growing up. And cousins. But mostly pals.
FIve things Rusty did for me as a friend:
1. Tattled on me when it was for my safety. The big jerk face.
2. Sat outside of a scary movie with me when I couldn’t handle it. For real! Who else thought the Jiffy Pop scene in the movie Scream was terrifying?
3. Lent me his jacket and his sweater and his sweatshirt and his blanket when I had forgotten mine. I live in the deep South. I’m in denial about ever needing a jacket.
4. Blogged for me. Here is the link. It’s way better than the stuff I come up with.
Oooh! Oooh! Remember eons ago when I said I had five things to tell you? Well, thanks to Miss Bossy Britches, the Gypsy Mama I can only tell you four because low and behold my five minutes are up.
Everyone who thinks Five Minute Fridays should be changed to Ten Minute Fridays raise your hand!
