Do I need to change my friends?!

I have been very busy with evening meetings for SEVERAL of the organizations with whom I volunteer. Many of the same people are also in PGR Missions. We spend alot of time together. Whether they are active duty, retired, old, young, married or single they love to tease and I seem to be the 'little sister/daughter' target of much of it. One thing I love to do, though, is sit back as they talk about their particular branch of Service and try to see who it the BIGGER MAN among them. It is a riot-but sometimes I will excuse myself by saying 'gentlemen I am going to leave because I think I am hampering your vocabulary.' LOL I love being with them and am honored that they allow me into a small part of their world.
A little over a year ago Joanna convinced me to join the Haygoods Message Board. She said it would be fun and we would have a blast. It has been anything but BORING since. I have met and developed friendships with so many of them. Jason and I were playing phone tag the other night. Shanna had convinced us in the chat room to put a message on his SAYNOW! account. He figured out who did it, well I narked, and then had Shanna and I on a conference call. We ended up helping him record a new greeting. Which we found out went to EVERYONE on his account that had ever sent him a message. HAHAHA
We also went to the chat room, while still on the phone, and the three of us laughed and talked with each other for over an hour!
Joanna and I have been friends for years-meeting in line for Sawyer Brown, and have a special sisterly friendship that drives the guys nuts. We love to tease them while they are onstage and then afterwards. I told the Haygoods that they are only getting a glimpse of what we have been doing to Sawyer Brown for years when we go to their show.
My political friends have been just as entertaining. In 2002 we attended the State Convention in Cedar Rapids Ia. We enjoyed hanging out and the next day even extended our 'ROAD TRIP' by going to Des Moines for a Bar B Que given by our State Senator with Charleton Heston as the guest of honor. We did not get much sleep during the entire campaign season because we laugh and talk so much together.
I often wonder if I need to get friends whom will allow me a little more time to sleep. But, then I am reminded of a saying 'I will sleep when I am DEAD!'. HAHA
I started thinking how my life would be different if I had not met any of them. I can't even imagine NOT having these friends. All of them seem like we have know each other for years.
I am truly blessed to know them and think I will say 'NO! I need to keep my friends.'
