Gigi

Pronounced "jee-jee"

Here is an interesting tidbit that even my dear mother most likely does not know about her dearest daughter.

Back in middle school (like, ages ago dude) I had 2 of the bestest friends in the world and we sat together at lunch everyday. Those pretty ladies are still my besties and every time we get together, we laugh just as much as we did back then (except this time there are copious amounts of alcohol involved). We cannot remember how it came to be, but the nickname "Gigi" materialized for me. It seemed hilarious at the time, yet it did not stick. Cut to 20 years later...somehow the name comes up in a Facebook conversation. And this time it sticks.

I think I like it...and I'll take it. Those girls mean everything to me and literally ANY nickname they give me is endearing (be it Pooterhead, Boogernose, or Loser). They love me and would do anything for me. And I don't know what I'd do without them in my life.

Here's to you, Katie and Karen...I luf you!!!
