pick of peeps

It's almost Easter... I thought it high time to bring the much-anticipated sequel to the girlfriends list by offering my pick of peeps. Not these peeps...

... these peeps:

Just look how much alike this girlfriend and I are, lolling about on the bed with our laptops and gadgets, some cool refreshment and a lipgloss within reach.  We would spend our free time twittering back and forth about the new face of the Republican Party and her self-espoused moderately liberal views.  We're both Daddy's Girls and since I already have hearty respect for her father - once she got to know The Secret Weapon, the feelings would be mutual.  

I would have a front-row seat and be as supportive as possible while my friend brings a youthful voice to the GOP.   We would go to the salon and have our highlights done at the same time and discuss how someone should really feed Anne Coulter a ham sandwich already.  Because girlfriend, it doesn't matter what size of jeans you wear if you have an open-minded, thoughtful opinion.

This girlfriend and I discuss real issues such as developmental delays, autism advocacy, the vaccination debate, and what the inside of the Playboy Mansion looks like. Also, do they use spray-on tans or just photoshop you like that? I admire this girlfriend for maturing and growing into a caring and thoughtful parent... but still immature enough to date Jim Carrey.

This girlfriend and I would also talk parenting because I really want to know what she did to get those four cute boys of hers to be such stand-up guys. People compliment me on Buddy Budderson's manners all the time, so I think I could keep up. Plus, Loopy would want the scoop on her future mother-in-law.

This girlfriend and I would share some pretty decent laughs, probably at the expense of our mothers. I really dig "mama punchlines" and she delivers. Plus, picking this girlfriend is like picking two girlfriends because she has a wife, and Portia would probably always come along but not be a third wheel, like a husband would be.

I only really picked this go-back-in-time girlfriend for free clothes. So sue me.

With this girlfriend, I would belt back a few and make fun of Britney, Paris and Lindsay. They asked for it. We would put our pretty dyed heads together and pen a powerful self-help book for teen girls. Our ex-husbands would write the forward.

This girlfriend would wear her Buddy Holly glasses around me, we'd kick back and mix old-school highballs and cocktails, watch old footage of Meet the Press and reminisce about Tim Russert.

Then, to lighten things up if we felt teary, we would get that tape of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal coming out to make the Republican Response to the State of the Union Address, play it back and forth really quickly so he looked like he was tap dancing, and laugh ourselves silly.

Oh, and this girlfriend would probably be there, too.

Don't forget to add your pick of peeps to the list.
