I need to work on my BFF skills

I called "My goodfriend, MaryBeth" (first name My, middle name GoodFriend and last name MaryBeth) yesterday and this is how the conversation went.
Me-"Hey, what's up?
MB-"How are you?"
Me-"Nervous, going to meet Art for a one on one. I am weirding out about this meeting. I think this could be it""I am getting fired"
MB-Listening to me rant for next 15 minutes, interjecting kind, positive and generous encouragement to me as always.
Me-"Well how is your day going?"
MB-"Great, I have been contacted by someone wanting to fly me to Disney for an all expense paid trip to enjoy myself and talk to other mother bloggers about being an experienced older mom"
Me-"Great, I am having a crappy day and all you can tell me is you are trotting off to Disney because you are "an it on a stick Mom". "Great- way to go MaryBeth, way to make me feel good"
MB"I don't know if I'll go, I mean this might be a scam"
Me-"MaryBeth, are you serious, who would want you? "No one is going to lure YOU to Disney. "They would be insane, I mean you are a mother of 6.
MB-"Paige, You need to take yourself right home and blog about what it is to be a good friend, cause you stink!!!!"
So this is a SHOUT OUT to "My Gooood Friend MaryBeth". I love you and don't know where I would be right now without you. OK- yes I would. My children would unhealthy and malnourished, cause you are my mentor cook friend. I would be an organizational mess, because you are my freaky, clean, organized friend. I would be a heathen, going to Hell in a hand basket, cause you invited me and mine to Elevation baby. And I would not be who I am today without your relentless love of Jesus, love of motherhood and love of me. You are the bomb! And I shimmy and bow down to you. Love you friend! And if you are going to Disney and need a chaperon, take me, cause I have 4 children and am way older than you. No one would want me either.

You know I love you immensely-- even when you act ugly cause you are stressed!! You have inspired me and encouraged me just as much as I have you.
You are my BFF, no matter what!
And Disney is looking doubtful now that I am crippled.
