Deep Dish Veggie Pizza

We all have different coping mechanisms.

I typically choose avoidance or delusion to deal with my issues. Today’s issue is almost too huge for one human being to handle alone. Missing Friday pizza & sad movie nights with Cheryl (BFF).

These nights happened so often over the past 5 years that we stopped discussing them at some point down the line. “Ordering pizza at 6. Bring movie & nail polish” is typically how we made plans.

So we have found a way around the 3,000 miles that separate us! We make fake plans throughout the week.

“Let’s go drink margaritas & go to the movies this weekend.”

“K which movie?”

“Idk we’ll let the margaritas decide when we get there”

“Genius.”

Avoid & delude, my friends.

But really we’ve eaten so much pizza over the course of our friendship it’s in our top 5 of possible matching tattoos. (Coming October 2015)
