My Friend Meghan

I've been holding off on this post, because I wanted to be able to tell you all about my new job, why I left my old job, and all sorts of other new and exciting things, but since I don't HAVE a new job, and things are more or less the same, that blog has yet to materialize. However, since my lack of blogging seemingly has caused other undue distress, I have decided to make this blog entry about My Friend Meghan.

We often refer to Meghan as MKO. Before she married Andrew (more on that later), her last name was O'Brien. Her middle name begins with a "K." And while I know what her middle name is, I'm not positive she likes having it advertised. So hence, MKO. So if you ever see me refer to an "MKO," it's very likely that I'm not talking about one of the Olsen twins.

Meghan married Andrew (and for those of you who like to combine names, a la Brangelina, Bennifer, and the like, these two are dubbed "Meghandrew." Please don't forget the "h," as Meghan will kill you. Kill you dead.), and Andrew was Ian's college roommate for four years. They have a man love that Meghan and I will never nor ever want to understand. Whenever they're together, it's like Meghan and I are not even in the room. And occasionally, we're ok with that. Other times, such as in 2001-02, we form clubs, such as WACS. (Women Against Counter Strike).  Whenever I see this video, I often think of Ian and his BFF Andrew. (Though it is also quite funny of it's own accord.) 

Meghan is a Liability Adjuster at The Hanover Insurance Group. Or so it says on her LinkedIn profile. I think that means that she decides whose fault it is.  You'd have to ask her to find out for sure, though.

Meghan's favorite TV show is Gilmore Girls, and I think she was seriously depressed when the show went off the air. 

Meghan and I wore the same dress to the senior formal, and as a result, we refused to be photographed standing next to each other:

Meghan's wedding had golf carts, and my husband, an attendant in the wedding party STILL talks about how cool that was, and how we should have had golf carts at our wedding. Then I remind him that we got married in DECEMBER, and the Meghandrew nuptials were in JUNE. 

This is a picture of Meghan and I when she and some of our other friends came out to San Diego last year to surprise Ian on his birthday. Meghandrew TOLD me they were going to come out to San Diego again this year, but then they went to D.C. I'm still not sure the hurt has fully healed for either Ian or myself, but Meghan assures me that, when I least expect it, she will be sitting on my couch waiting to be entertained. I LEAST EXPECT IT EVERY DAY, MEGHAN!

Meghan and I are both HUGE Patriots fans. When Ian and I move back to New England, we are going to go to a lot of games together. I haven't yet told her about my plan to go in 50/50 on season tickets when that happens, but I think she'll find out about it soon enough...

 

So that's My Friend Meghan. And since I rather enjoyed writing that post, I might make it a feature, and tell you all about my other friends, too.
