Today was a really nice day. I spent last night at Stephania's because as we watched "Emma" (I love that movie!) we had mimosas and really, who wants to drive home after spending two glorious hours with a wonderful adaptation of one of Jane Austen's best novels? I mean, it can't be safe to be on the road while recovering from such an intense costume drama.
The next morning Steph's dad asked me if I was too drunk to drive home which would have been awkward if I hadn't seen him dance with his wife after coming home from a wedding once, shortly followed by Kate joining in and the two of them rocking out in the kitchen. The worst part was that I hadn't been drunk so felt the need to explain that we were watching "Emma", what "Emma" was, and wonder why I am so weird and trying to explain Jane Austen to someone who probably doesn't like costume dramas quite as much as I do.
After waking up to the sounds of Barefoot Contessa recipes filtering in from the kitchen I climbed out of bed and had some breafast with Steph's mother and sister and got filled in on all the gossip at my old high school. Apparently I got out just in time because my town's public school is only getting stranger as time goes by.
Actually, I think all the local schools are getting just a teensy bit odder than their usual standard, because Meg's old grammar school (which is private and Catholic), has a nun who apparently is so intent on making sure students on bicycles wear their helmets and stop at stop signs she has taken to riding her bike with them every day. Nuns on bikes enforcing traffic laws is just unbeatable.
After a really great bagel and Starbucks, Steph and I traveled to the pre-teen capital of the world (also known as the mall) and I got some pretty new blush from Sephora that I had been eying for the past couple months. Later we both got a chance to catch up with Meg, who I really missed. Spring break was two months ago and only a week at that, so I'm really looking forward to having a summer to spend with our little group. I really missed my friends while I was at school. I'm glad I'm not one of those people who made friends at college and drifted away from their old ones. I feel like summer is three months too long if you're not enjoying the people around you.
Okay, back to online window shopping.
