"This is totes unfair because my BFF actually has her own boyfriend, but since I don&amp;#x27;t, she&amp;#x27;s getting all my love and attention too!Of course I always try to be a good hostess, but my best friend just flew in for a weekend visit, and I&amp;amp;#8217;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!). I made her our favorite pumpkin muffins we always used to bake when we lived together years ago (nom nom nom): I decorated the bedside table with flowers and candy (cheesy): I even provided a gift (but who doesn&amp;#x27;t like presents?)!: To 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;amp;#8217;s just like, the rules of feminism. Anyway, it&amp;amp;#8217;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;amp;#8217;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;amp;#8217;t done much caretaking lately. Evidently, I&amp;amp;#8217;m going nuts with it this weekend. But you know what? I&amp;amp;#8217;m glad it&amp;amp;#8217;s my friend getting my special attention and not some guy. For one, she needs it: she&amp;amp;#8217;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;amp;#8220;Give me some space, psycho!&amp;amp;#8221; Best friends just get a girl better sometimes! Do you ever find you spoil your friends and family more when you don&amp;#x27;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;#x27;t those shoes SO CUTE?
