is an evening with someone who's known you since college and her two young sons...cause it just doesn't get any better.
The day started out bad and "went" south from there...you know, you've had them too! CRAZY schedule, lots of issues, etc....really makes you want to throw on a caftan and move to a remote village. Surely one wouldn't have to work so HARD to communicate through email, phone, fax, etc. :-)
Anyway, I rushed home and walked the dog and then April drove in with Nathan and Will (they now live in Portland, Maine and I don't get to see them often). We laughed, walked around Broad Ripple, ate on the roof of Bazbo's and had snocones at the SNOSHAK for desert. We sat on some rocks by the Monon and"people watched" and laughed at our own silly stories...then we road around, Radio Disney blaring, with the top down on the "Bug". It was a great way to end the day.
What is it about friends who've known you for a long time? You can sort of "pick up" where you have left off, not have to explain yourself and laugh yourself "wet in the pants" (not pretty, but there it is!)...what a gift. AND, you don't have to OVER explain yourself in an attempt to understand and be understood. Communication isn't so laborious or difficult. Again...what a gift.
It's a reminder...you need someone now and then who you can just be yourself with. Also, bad days pass, and usually are made better with old friends, cool kids, and...SNOCONES...
