It's been a rough week...
I really need someone to go the mall with me,
shop for hours, and force me to eat at least

Women have a passion for mathematics. They divide their age in half, double the price of their clothes, and always add at least five years to the age of their best friend.
I have a couple of other ones but they are kinda on the 'racy' side, and since I don't know your friend I don't know if she'd see the humor in them!
I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.

Is certain for those who are friends."

In sunshine and in shade.
