Good intentions and even gooder friends

OK. I know that 'gooder' isn't a word, but I used it anyway. Hey, Shakespeare made up words, why can't I? Wouldn't it be cool if I could make up lots of words and get them used in daily speech by people all over? Oh, wait. Then I'd have to be a rapper. Well, I don't know if I'm ready to make that sort of commitment...
Anyway. Back to my post.
So I have a girlfriend who also lives here in CO (both of our families moved over here from CA) that I knew well in high school. We've been out here for a long time but just finally decided that we need to get together every over month for a girl's night out. And we have been doing just that. Actually, she's been great about calling and keeping us on track.
A few months ago we went out for dinner, then we went to a NKOTB concert (her husband won tickets and refused to go with her--I swear we didn't go out and BUY the tickets), then we got together to let the kids play while we chatted. Then for April I couldn't do the original date so we moved it to tonight.
But I'm tired. And I feel like snuggling up under a blanket and watching a movie with the family and going to bed early. Maybe wearing my jammies starting 6 pm. Mmmm. My eyelids are getting heavy as I speak.
So I debated calling and cancelling. And I decided to just call and feel her out. So we chitchatted on the phone for a few minutes and then she says, 'so are you still ok with tonight?' and said 'yeah, actually, and I was wondering' but here she cut me off and said, 'Cuz would you be upset if I tell you that I'm tired?' And I was sooo grateful to have a friend who understands me!
SO I'm going to shut up and change out of these jeans...

Note to self:
