It's been four years in the making, but, finally, my BEST friend has come to visit.
We met in 6th grade. We were among the "good" girls that pretty much followed the straight and narrow. If I'm being honest, in hindsight, maybe we were THE geek squad. But whatever, the point is that something in our spirits connected us us over 20 years ago, and every time we meet it's like junior high school all over again.
Crystal is the most genuine spirited person I know. She is an amazing reminder of looking at the glass half full. When we're around each other it's all laughs, loud-talking, silliness, and fun! Just what the doctor ordered during the misery that typically comes along with the end-of-the-semester-blues.
It's been EVERYTHING I've imagined so far. Since I picked her up at the bus station two days ago, we've been ripping and running. I've been showing her around my favorite places and we've found some hidden treasures in restaurants that I didn't even know were in my backyard. To top it all off, the weather has been beautiful. It's like Spring picked the PERFECT weekend to really show up.
Even in the midst of all the work I'm trying to complete, just having my bestie here with me has helped change the energy in these parts. I'm happy to have company and ceaseless girl talk, and some sort of balance to this academic process, if only for a few days.
Anyways, I just wanted to tell you that. It's actually 3:13AM. While the bestie is knocked out in the room, I'm here trying to type for my life. This chapter two needs to get into the hands of my advisor in 3 days, and it sure ain't gonna write itself.
So, lata now (in my Crystal voice-that's how she says it on her answering machine)!
