Best of 2011: Friend Superlatives!!!

My original idea for this entry was to do a 2011 wrap-up...favorite song, TV show, trend, etc...and I may still do that but instead I decided to focus on my favorite PEOPLE---my closest friends! Its been a big year, and I feel they all deserve a little attention for the areas in which they excel! So here it is...2011 Superlatives (almost like a blog-yearbook)



Best Personality: Lane
This is not surprising, as Lane is my very best friend. But best friend or not, it cannot be denied that Lane's personality is pretty awesome. She is opinionated but fair, quirky but serious, easy going, fun, and happy!



Most Likely To Succeed: Angela
Angela made the ballsy move of switching careers (from the corporate world to elementary education!)...which is something most people don't have the courage to do. In the process, Ang has found her happiness in a career that is fulfilling. Her persistence to make this brave move and her obvious L-O-V-E for what she does now make her an amazing example of how NOT to settle!




Most Poised: Sarah
Poise and grace cannot be over-estimated. (Especially since these are qualities that I definitely LACK!) Sarah is cool under pressure. Always a gracious host, always able to rise above a stressful situation. She is able to organize a dinner for ten without breaking a sweat, and is always the picture of effort-less style. I am not surprised she is a former Miss Rhode Island. I could use about 1/10 of the poise Sarah has!




Most Friendly: Meg
No one meets Meg without feeling like they've known her for years. Always smiling, always laughing, and always open to meeting a new person, Meg has an ability to put people at ease. There are no strangers with Meg--just friends she hasn't met yet!




Best Bod: Cheryl
Cheryl has an ass that won't quit. And she is multi-talented, don't get me wrong. But C-Nuggs has a pretty RIPPED body! Constant skiing, yoga, and exercise will do that for you! And my sweet lil nomadic yogie Cheryl has a BF with a ripped body to match! Its a six-pack match made in heaven!




Most Fun: Lynne
Lynne has the ability to make any situation fun...even when she's not 100% (Humphrey!)...and a little, er...uncomfortable. Always laughing, Lynne adds positivity, energy, and happiness to every social gathering!





Most Athletic: Kate
Half marathons? Sure. Kickball? Obvi. Posing on the beach like a Victoria's Secret Model? YUP. Kate makes athleticism super hot and puts (most) of the rest of us to shame! By the time Kate is done running for the day, I've only managed to put on comfy pants and check my email.






Best Hair: Meg aka Gremlin
Meg knows what's up when it comes to hair. Who knew Moroccan oil is good for ALL hair types? Whether its wild and curly or smooth and chic, Meg's hair is A-MA-ZING.






Most Competitive: Michaela
Whether its a track meet, watching sports, playing soccer, or kicking ass at trivia, Michaela is a true competitor! She doesn't back down when it comes to her convictions, and puts everything she has into friendly contests and competition! Michaela can keep you on your toes!





Most Talented: Jeri
Jerilyn is just super amazing. Professional singer. No big deal. Makes you cry type of voice. Gorgeous inside and out.







Best Dancer: Trish

Nobody loves dance like Trishy loves dance...from her poof to her calloused feet! The dance world isn't always easy---pleasing judges, parents, students, and colleagues, but Trish manages to rise above and produce creative and unique works of art time after time. Plus I am jealous of her hyper-extended knees since my legs suck.





Most Loyal: Rachael
Rach has more than once described herself as a "grudge-holder." But the fine print beneath that is that Rachael is so incredibly loyal to her closest friends that she has trouble forgiving people that have hurt them. Rachael will always make the time to help, always make the call to check on you. She even made me chicken soup during my tough time recently...friends as faithful and loyal as Rachael are hard to find!





Best Looking: Ana
Legs as long as my whole body? Check. Shiny, gorgeous hair? Check. Pretty face & Hot Body? Double Check. Ana turns heads everywhere she goes. And its not just her physical appearance that makes her best looking---she's always smiling, always going with the flow, and always ready to have a good time!






Most Versatile: Ann
Annie is obviously beautiful. She's an amazing SLP. She's an athlete. She's a great friend. AND she's a good time on the weekends. Jesus gave with both hands when he made this chick. I've often said that everyone has a weakness SOMEWHERE but I'm actually not sure what Ann's weakness would be. Other than the fact that she is so sweet that she is overly succeptible to guilt trips. And that one time she tried to fit a yoga ball in her truck but didn't think to deflate it. :)



So there are my AMAZING friends. The best of 2011, or any other year. I am really blessed to have each and every one of you in my life!
