"This is totes unfair because my BFF actually has her own boyfriend, but since I don&amp;#39;t, she&amp;#39;s getting all my love and attention too!\nOf course I always try to be a good hostess, but my best friend just flew in for a weekend visit, and I&amp;#39;ve gone totally overboard. I picked her up at the airport--and not just outside after baggage claim. I parked, went into the airport, and waited for her with a handmade sign (so over the top!).\nI made her our favorite pumpkin muffins we always used to bake when we lived together years ago (nom nom nom):\nPinterestFacebookI decorated the bedside table with flowers and candy (cheesy):\nPinterestFacebookI even provided a gift (but who doesn&amp;#39;t like presents?)!:\nPinterestFacebookTo be fair, when you find shoes as cute as these, on sale for $10, in your size and your BFFs size, you buy them immediately. That&amp;#39;s just like, the rules of feminism.\nAnyway, it&amp;#39;s now occurring to me that having been single for over a year, I may be going slightly crazy with no one to lavish my affections on! Even though I&amp;#39;ve never been a grand gesture kind of person in my romantic relationships, I do consider myself nurturing. I like taking care of others, and I like to make them feel special when I can. But having broken up with my ex and moved away from most of my friends, I haven&amp;#39;t done much caretaking lately. Evidently, I&amp;#39;m going nuts with it this weekend.\nBut you know what? I&amp;#39;m glad it&amp;#39;s my friend getting my special attention and not some guy. For one, she needs it: she&amp;#39;s been homeless since Hurricane Sandy because her apartment building is still uninhabitable. And for two, she will totally appreciate my adorable hostess touches, whereas some guys would probably be all, &amp;quot;Give me some space, psycho!&amp;quot; Best friends just get a girl better sometimes!\nDo you ever find you spoil your friends and family more when you don&amp;#39;t have a guy to pay attention to? I mean, I swear I would do most of these nice things whether I was single or not, but I do have lots of extra love to give. And aren&amp;#39;t those shoes SO CUTE?\nBFFs:\n15 Best Friend Dating Commandments\nI&amp;#39;m in a Long Distance Relationship With My Best Friend!\nWould You Rather: Take a Weekend Getaway With Your Best Friend or Your Boyfriend?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
