can't think of a catchy phrase

Ever have one of those friends who just sucks the energy right out of you? Every phone conversation is a duty. Saturday afternoon shopping becomes confessional behind the fitting room curtain. A casual Happy Hour becomes an oh so Crappy Hour.
What makes us keep these friends? Sure they listen every now and then, but for the most part, it's "woa is she." I actually broke up with a friend I had like that. She didn't piss me off, nor did we argue. She was just too damned much work. Well, I got back together with her about 4 years ago, and things had been rolling along pretty good up until about the first of the year. (she sold me out to the new friends we made Labor Day Weekend) I have done a lot of work on me. PMA(positive mental attitude) relaxation, patience, consciousness, awareness, and a bunch of other stuff that doesn't actually have a name, I don't think---but it does not include incessant bitching(which I am trying to avoid here, in this blogspace) It could very well be the most beautiful day, in the DFW metroplex, so far this year. Sunny, not a cloud in the sky. There is a small little breeze that makes the leaves dance in the trees. It's the kind of day, that makes you wanna quit your job and buy a boat. Or maybe a convertible. Makes you wanna smile at everyone who looks your way. Ring Ring Ring...allows you pick up the phone, not even worried about who it could be. I have now forgotten almost all of my personal ME work, and have regressed. I'm this close to pissed that I'm friends with this person. Exasperated that I still have almost 6 more hours to work today; and if I still smoked, I'd be puffing away for sure. We had rain, tornadoes and hail yesterday. Why now? It's not her, personally. Well, it really is her personally. Moreover, it's her inability to believe him when he said "I need some time" I looked it up in the Mars/Venus translation guide. It means leave him the fuck alone! Quite possibly forever. Quit crying when he doesn't return your calls. Would YOU call YOU back? Merciful Lord in Heaven!
Deep breaths. It would be easier if this place had windows. I'm trying to muster up all the joy and love I can. Alright, I can do this. (nodding) I can. close my eyes and think of the lake. sitting at the helm- I'm some fab, glam movie star. Wind in my hair. I don't even know who's driving the boat. I don't care. hot sun beating down on my face. cold drink in my hand. another day in paradise. Damn. I have a good life.
Excellent. Just got a call that made me smile. and another giving me 2 free hours before more work. (more nodding) yep. I can do this
