There’s a Blog Tour Happening!
Thanks to my friends at Literary Logistics, there’s a really nice blog tour going on right now regarding BEING FRIENDS WITH BOYS. You can WIN a copy of your own, but also follow along (discovering some AWESOME blogs) and read the 10 major differences I think there are between girl/guy friendships and girl/girl friendships. (For example: less talking, more doing.)

And here are a couple of things that did NOT make the cut:
#11: You eat a lot more pizza and hamburgers. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but with my best girlfriends we do things like cook themed meals for each other, bring out our best recipes, or at least choose a place for dinner that has fancy cocktails. (It’s my turn to host Supper Club next month and I’m already planning something involving this cool new recipe I found involving watermelon and feta; I’ll post about it next week.) The last time I went to my good pal Jamie’s house, we had hamburgers. And the last time we went out for dinner with him, it was for pizza. I was invited to have pizza again tonight. One time when I went to my friend Stewart’s, we did have good strawberries and pistachio nuts, but let’s put it this way: he didn’t have to put an apron on to prepare that.
#12: They aren’t comparing your thighs to theirs. Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like even with my very, very best girlfriends, there’s a little physical comparison going on from time to time. Natalie’s hair is so long and gorgeous, I think. I wonder what would happen if I grew mine out? Or, Maybe if I ran more, I’d look as cute as Krista does in shorts. It’s not mean-spirited, more a way of checking out how I’m doing, myself. My girlfriends are all good-looking, and I want to make sure I’m keeping up my end of that for them, too. Silly, I guess, and very girlie of me, but I don’t usually find myself going, Man I really wish I could make my facial hair look as cool as Justin’s does.
Got any other differences between these kinds of friendships? I’d love to hear them. And good luck with the contest, too!
