Thanks to Dave or Robbins (hi, Robbins!) for taking this shot and for Beth burning it to CD and walking it over to my house. ALL THE WAY OVER HERE. That, people, is commitment.

You have a wonderful smile.

Happy belated birthday to Leta, and to Dooce & DJ Blurb. It gets better from here, yeah yeah I know, you've heard it a thousand times.
Oh, and nice picture -- I wish I had such a good buddy near my house. Glad you do.
Ditto Carolynne, except in the time I was typing I went from third to eighth (or more). Boo hoo.
10. mcf said:
Clean hair AND matching outfits!
11. Jess again said:
Note to self: beware that Google AutoFill thingy.

Twins!
14. Dr. Johnny Fever said:
If my teeth were that white, I'd try out for the Osmonds.
*bling*
15. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Are you *sure* you guys aren't stoned? 'Cause you always have those hand-me-the-Doritos grins in your pictures together.
16. Honey Bunny said:
oh, how i wish i were able to have a healthy friend-relationship with women. i'm almost 30 and i have no idea what it's like to have a close girl friend.
you're lucky, heather :)
17. Danielle said:
So, what I wanna know is did you both have the right side of your hair tucked behind your ear (and the left side out) when you first met up for the night? or did you just do this for the camera....
either way, it is a great shot of the two of you. And yeah, it makes me miss having a friend living nearby.
18. Tina said:
Look, she's smiling :D
19. Alaska Danielle said:
You are both so adorable.
My best friend (since I was 10 years old) and I are drunk in every photo we've taken as adults; I'm not sure where that ranks on the awe-som-eter.
20. Angie said:
Shiny, happy people :)
21. tIffany said:
Awwww! This is a great picture.
Hey, can we dedicate comments today to the praise of girlfriends? My friend Nina rocks so hard. The other night she came over, took me to dinner then offered to FILL UP MY CAR for me because my husband is really cute about not wanting me to pump gas and stuff while I'm pregnant and all. And! She never, ever judges me for my (always) dirty hair and she never gloats over the fact that her baby is so much cuter than mine even though it's pretty obvious that he is.
On the drive home I taught my toddler to say "Nina, you are a GODDESS."
To goddesses!
22. Jennifer said:
I know why hers says Be Fri and yours says st ends. You look like you have lots of fun together!
23. JuJuBee said:
You two are so lucky to have each other, and she WALKED it over to you? Damn!
24. CanadianAmy said:
I love girlfriend pics! Those smiles are the real deal, man!
25. Em said:
Y'all are super cute and MY WHAT PRETTY HAIR YOU HAVE!
26. Sarcastic Journalist said:

27. alyssa said:
You two need to sign a contract with Crest.
28. karen said:
Who are you looking at? What's so funny?
29. August95 said:
Very nice to see you and a Friend sharing a laugh. There is not enough of either things in the world.
30. kristal said:
I love pictures of you smiling! You usually look so serious...
31. Greg said:
Gee, your hair smells terrific.
32. Elegant Goose said:
Happy Birthday to little Leta... she's really not that little though. It's been amazing watching the changes she (and you!) have gone through in the past year. It's been a treat to watch and it has totally helped me see what kind of mom I want to be when I get around to, you know, the whole kids thing. :-P
33. Jennifer in Kansas City said:
You two look like you're in a General Foods International Coffee commercial and somebody just said "JEAN LUC!" and then they yelled, "CUT" because they have to re-shoot because you guys will NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
34. RazDreams said:
"you...light up MY LIFE!" and "Your eyes, your eyes, they tell me how much YOU CAAARRREEE, whoa-oh yeah..."
My childhood "be fri/st end" and I used to dress alike too, and stand next to one another with one arm slung over the other person shoulders, smiling like Cheshire cats...
35. Sarah Grace said:
You guys look like you're having a wonderful time.
Young and in love!
36. Hilarie said:
Darling! Just darling!
37. Saroy said:
You guys look like you're having a great time. My favorite kind of picture.
38. Gooooder said:
That is committment. My friends wouldnt walk here, there is still about 2 feet of snow in Boston and they all live more than 1 mile away, but still.
Ha!
39. Library Girl said:
Awww I'm feeling the love :)
40. Ana said:
Great picture. :D
41. Cauri said:
Aww you two are so adorable!! What a great picture
42. Fran said:
Identical twins separated at birth are reunited in this undated file photo.
43. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Cuz normally your hair is dirty and this was a momentous noteworthy occasions? :0P
44. Superplum said:
Ah, the Black Sweater Club rides again.
45. Mrs.Strizzay said:
They hold tryouts for the Osmonds? Can I be the naughty fat one? Oh wait.....
46. Kristina said:
Happy belated birthday to Leta! How come there's only 45 comments? If this was a picture of Leta or Jon, there would be about 350,000.
47. Me Now said:
Secty mamas!
48. Michele said:
I love the fact that y'all are such good friends. And that Beth is Leta's goddess of love.
49. Mrs.Strizzay said:
I think someone farted and thats why they are laughing.
50. Mrs.Strizzay said:
*Bucky*
*_Do you see the whites of their eyes? Yeah, they are whit AND you can see them. Unless they are doing visine drops then I would say not smoking, all thought maybe smoking hot._*
51. Andrea in Canada said:
Dooce, what a great shot of two people who share a great friendship!
Beth is laughing hysterically at something and you look like a baby in a photo where an adult is dangling a stuffy over their head to make you smile! What I'm trying to say is, you look CUTE! You are such a beautiful woman!
What is it that was so funny?
52. Bethy said:
She looks like she always has clean hair, it's you with the almost always pulled back pony tail that is highly questionable..
53. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
Miz Striz -- you are correct that they don't have the requisite squint goin' on for them to be down with the chronic.
Mescaline, however, is still not out of the question.
54. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Or ecstasy, but then they would be sucking on stuff.
55. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Well, we can't see Beths now CAN we....
56. Annejelynn said:
ahhh, BFF.
Keep smilin'! and have a WOOONDerfool weekend!
57. Darcie said:
You washed your hair AND brushed your teeth. In my world, that's quite an accomplishment!
58. Ada said:
Heather,
What do you think of trying a face transformer? It's hilarious.

59. Southern Fried Girl said:
I love pics where Heather smiles. Y'all look too cute together. :)
60. Kaiasmom said:
I love seeign pics of you guys together, you always look so happy and relaxed. I get the feeling that whenever Heather and Beth get together all they do is laugh. Have you guys checked out the pictures over at crazyus.com from her visit over there? All smiles as well.
61. Amanda B. said:
Dr. J Fever- i like it.
Beth: "I'm a little bit county..."
Dooce: "I'm a little bit rock-n-roll.."
Cute picture. Thanks Beth for the long walk to Heather's.
62. Meggan said:
Awwwh, this is a cute picture! Friends are awesome.
63. tk said:
Great picture. Looks like you ladies are having a fabu time!
64. brando said:
Most of my friends should be committed, too.
65. Cindy said:
What a beautiful smile, Heather.
It looks as if it is from the inside out.
66. Pissy Britches said:
Dooce & Beth. What a great pic!
67. jess said:

68. Ronda said:
Great smiles!
69. Yamila said:

70. Bodnoirbabe said:
Love the hair. You guys look like you're having such a wonderful time!
71. andrea said:
I need to wash my hair.
72. Cheryl said:
Isn't this an advertisement for Brite Smile? or is it Pantene?
Sometimes it just feels better to have clean hair!
73. Relentless Christian Amber said:
Lots of shiney hair.
I know this is a little late, but I've been out of the loop for a while: Happy Birthday Leta!
Your year letter made me cry. It's so sweet and amazingly honest.
I love that you are honest about parenting and life.
74. Kassi said:
It makes me wonder what you are seeing that is so funny...maybe there is something completely lewd happening outside of the frame of the camera lense...if only the photographer of this picture would have panned to the right a bit more...
75. Melynda said:
Hey Dooce! Once again your advertisement for the Nikon D70 has persuaded another reader to go buy one! My husband and I just got back from getting one! (now I have to wait for the battery to charge before I can take any pictures! OH THE TORTURE!) hehehe
I still think Nikon should pay you some fat cash for advertising like you do!! ;)
Hope you and the fam have a great weekend!
76. Kassi said:
...or maybe you both have been caught sitting in a baby pool filled with green jello. Your smiles could be of embarrassment..we will never know.
77. julian said:
like the way you've both got yr hair behind the same ear - and is that the same top?
78. carolina said:
I always wanted to live next door to my best friend. Oh yea and nice picture!
79. feebs said:
That is a great picture! Having great girlfriends is just the best!
And...happy belated birthday to Leta. Thanks for sharing her with us!
80. romy said:

81. jules said:

82. eddo said:
Love the photo, I always love candid shots...
83. LordGoon said:
If you 2 fine ladies ever get bored of your stick-in-the-mud spouses, just page the Goonster and I'll be ready with a room at the Best Western and a variety of exotic and fragrant unguents.
84. Mrs.Strizzay said:
holy carp~
lmao
85. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Where the hell are y'all at? Wake TF up!
86. MrsDoF said:
Good times and good friends! Nice picture.
87. Lisa said:
Can you tell who uses Suave, and who uses the "pricey brand"?
88. lulu cornichon said:
And which twin has the Toni?
89. Meggan said:
Do most people honestly only visit here when they're supposed to be working? Because this is the most DRASTIC drop in commenting I've seen in a while. It hasn't even hit 100 yet, and it's EVENING-ish. Most days it hits 100 within an hour of the post.
Not that I come here a lot or anything.You know.
90. Teri said:
You are both happy and good girlfriends -- the best. I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind last night and think that Heather looks like Kate Winslet.
91. Amanda B. said:
I do spend an unhealthy amount of my workday here at Dooce.com. Ahem.
Lulu- when oh when will you sell me some of your beautiful pottery....whiiiiiine.
92. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Your a heartbreaker
Dream maker
love taker
93. Mrs.Strizzay said:
You know you set my soul on fire
burnin outta control
something something
your the right kinda sinner
94. Mrs.Strizzay said:
guitar solo
95. Mrs.Strizzay said:
to release my inner fantasssssy
96. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Heart BREAKAAAAAA
guitar solo (a bit more bad ass)
97. Mrs.Strizzay said:
i dont mind you comin here
wasting all my time
cuz when your standing oh so near i kinda lose my mond
its not the perfume you wear
its the not the ribbons in your hair
98. Mrs.Strizzay said:
i dont mind you hangin out and talkin in your sleep
i guess your just what i needed
i needed some one to feed (?)
i needed someone to bleed (?)
99. Mrs.Strizzay said:
i wish this song was over now
100. Cristin said:
heh heh heh MrsS
can you get your voice to go into those higher octaves like Benetar too?
101. Rita said:
I didn't realize that you two knew each other since I'm pretty new to your blog and also to the CrazyUs blog. Two of my favorite blogs tho'! Yes indeed. I must've found one blog off the other. Anyway, you both rock! Shiny hair and all.
102. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Uh no. I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
HOWEVER I do feel as though I can hit those Eddie Vedar lows so so well...but of course when the radio is blasting and your alone in the kitchen I guess anyone would sound hot right?
103. jules said:
I find that when i'm in the car.. umm alone... and the radio or mp3 player is blasting away.. i sound _just_ like whoever is singing.. i swear!! honest!
(:3
104. Amanda B. said:
Strizzay- are you sniffin' bleach again?
105. CanadianAmy said:
Strizz, you really got me thinking about song lyrics.
My all time favorite line-
We're livin' in a powder keg
And givin' off sparks.
106. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Hey I made *one* stinking typo....
107. Bucky Four-Eyes said:
And can it be sniffing bleach "again" if she never stopped?
108. Amanda B. said:
Good point Bucky.
Strizz, I didn't notice the typo, just the air guitar.
109. lulu cornichon said:
Hey, it's a regular party in here, what with the bleach and the singing and the git-ar.
Me? Can't sleep. Hiccups. Wheeeee.
110. Terri said:
I miss my best friend, Kendra Lewis, terribly. She unfortunately committed suicide and murdered her 6 year old daughter who was named after me. Depression got the best of her. I have blonde hair and she had red hair. That picture reminds me of us and of wonderful times we had. Sorry, didn't mean to be depressing. Actually seeing the photo was a good thing - brought back good memories, but sad ones too. God I miss her.
111. spoonleg said:
the only time air guitar is acceptable is while jamming The Cars. Which, by default, means that I slam the air guitar whenever Circuit City commercials come on.
112. spoonleg said:
wait a minute, would anyone accuse me of being a bleach sniffer if I admitted to playing some air cowbell every once in awhile?
113. lulu cornichon said:
Hey, air cowbell is probably less goofy-looking than air bagpipe. Which is what it looks like when I try to dance, apparently. With the huffing and the puffing and the flapping elbows.
114. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Air tamberine is the best. ever.
115. spoonleg said:
even better than air finger cymbals?
116. Mrs.Strizzay said:
yeah, thats just called flipping people off.
117. Amanda B. said:
I was thinking that air cello would look pretty strange...
118. spoonleg said:
not as strange as air trombone
119. Mrs.Strizzay said:
strange is your mom telling your dad you wear things. WTF mom. Needless to say he was on the crapper at the time and according to him he burried his face in his hand and just shook his head back and forth.
You SO wanted to know that didn't you.
120. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Thong tha thong thong thong
121. Shiz said:
HEY! I played air cowbell last night! Something's in the air.
I think what I'd love best is air tuba.
122. Shiz said:
Mrs. Striz, that reminds me of the time the shower curtain rod fell down while I was showering and BOTH of my parents came in to "rescue" me. I was trying to cover my naked teenage self because, GAH, naked teenage self plus parents DOES NOT MIX. Later my mom gave me the extremely awkward, "You don't have to be embarrassed around your father" talk. WHAT THE HECK? Who wants to be naked around your parents, like EVER after you begin to dress yourself. Especially MY parents. *Shudder.*
123. Shiz said:
Terri (110), that is heartbreaking!
124. Mrs.Strizzay said:
Lmao.
My mom was in Iraq for Desert Storm and my Dad had pornos right next to his bed. And the chick on the cover , yeah I looked at the cover shutup I was snooping, had the SAME.NAME.AS.ME. That is so totally disgusting I think I threw up in my mouth a bit.
125. Mrs.Strizzay said:
This concludes my 80 comments for the day where I share Way to much onformation. K.
126. Yasmin said:
You look so happy. . . Now I miss my friends.
127. Amanda B. said:
When I was 18, I walked in on my mom and her BOYFRIEND. (my parents were divorced, but still) I can't describe the horror.
The horror.
128. Amanda B. said:
Geezus Terri. I'm sorry. That's a terrible thing to have to go through.
I didn't mean to act like a monkey when you were expressing somthing really meaningful. :(
129. Henryk_DTG051933KFEB05 said:
Clean hair anf fangs....leading up to a toohpaste or hair shampoo ad?
130. Laura said:
Hey... nice photo, it seems like your having a great time :-)
