The ABC's of A Good Friend... "Z" (Z end...almost)



Today is the final day of Arlee Bird's A-Z Challenge! Since I write for younger children and we're doing the ABC's, I thought I'd do The ABC's of A Good Friend (and throw in a few random pictures, because I have a bit of a camera habit).
~Z~ 
You should have all kinds of friends in your life.  But it's important to have a few friends that are a bit ZANY.  They're the ones you can be silly with.  The ones you can stay up all night chatting with.  They like to play board games.  They'll dress up at Halloween or if you have a Wig and Wine party for New Year's Eve.  Yep, everyone should have a ZANY friend.  If you don't have one, perhaps you are the ZANY friend in your circle of friends and that's a good thing.  You bring smiles to your friends.
 
Today is the last day of the A-Z Challenge.  If you participated in it, how did you do?  Did you come up with a word or topic for each day?  Did you have fun?  Are you going to keep blogging everyday?  YIKES!  I'm going back to my regular schedule of posting (usually) on Sundays and Thursdays.

    I come from a pretty zany family and we've had a lot of fun over the years. It seemed to attract me some zany friends as well. We may not be quite as zany these days, but in our younger days we could get a bit out there sometimes.
    Congratulations on making it to Z.


    Hope you'll join us for The A to Z Challenge Reflections Post on Monday May 2nd.

    Chica, you took the challenge and ran with it. I congratulate you, my friend. Love these pics. I have a camera habit too, but when the family sees me pick up the camera they grab it and take the picture themselves.Hmmm wonder why?

    I'm going back to Mondays and Fridays. But I may blog about NAPIBOWRIWEE. I haven't decided. I'z sooo tired. xxxxxooooo

    Yes! Being zany is one of THE MOST important qualities I look for in a friend! I freaking love those pictures of you. Where did you get all these wigs?

    You did it, Sharon! Congrats!!

    I love your hairdos! I really think you should grow out your hair and do braids all the time. :) That would be super ZANY!

    Nope, definitely won't blog everyday. My schedule doesn't allow for it on a regular basis.

    I think we all need a zany friend to remind us that everything is good in moderation and that being too serious all the time can be boring

    Zany is about the best you can hope for - I have thoroughly enjoyed this blogging challenge - hope to see you around the interweb plenty more, Sharon!
