today i had lunch with jill and chelsea at dimitri’s. even though we met at noon, i had already talked to chels two or three times on the phone before we got there. that’s still a little early for me, girls! we had such good wraps and talked. i miss hanging out with them so much. it’s good to be back with friends who just get me, and don’t mind too much if i cuddle with them at the table and make them help me decide what to order.
then we decided to go to the mall, so we all drove seperately to chelsea’s house, in one of our typically discombobulated schemes, and while i looked for artifacts from my car accident in chelsea’s front yard two and a half years ago, chels locked her keys in her house. oops. but off to the mall anyway, right? we saw ross in the parking lot, lauren on her way to work, tav and kelly, who is taking a semester off, and erin, jess and kristin all working at j.crew. then chelsea found her house keys in her pocket. when i dropped her off at home, we hugged and she said, “who am i kidding, i’m probably going to talk to you tonight.” well, twenty minutes after i got home, she called to say that next year, we should go to the mall together to find jobs. motivation in peer pressure. i have a feeling that might work.
but no retail job i get will ever match my high school gap gig. brian is coming to visit this week, but jen is in california, so she won’t get to see gap boy. those were the days. i remember that jen and i were really excited about black friday, and i remember that i worked every day of christmas week, except for the 25th and 26th, in 2001. it was so much fun though.
