As many of you probably know, my good friend Brandy is flying out this Thursday to New York City to attend NYU. Yesterday (Tuesday) the two of us had our last outing together. I met her at Primo Grill for lunch (she had mussels; I had smoked salmon linguine). Then afterwards we dropped my car off back here at my house. I ran inside to put my leftovers in the fridge, and I called Carrie's phone to tell her that she could eat them if she wanted, but then I heard her phone ringing from the living room. She'd left it there while she and Mary went to the Supermall to pick up Mary's wedding dress.
Brandy then drove us to Cold Stone for ice cream (I had lemon sorbet with brownies & fudge—it reminded me of my birthday cakes; Brandy had a variation on the Candyland type of thing). Then we went to her bank, which is just a little on the south end of Lakewood, so it took quite a while to get there.
Then today (Wednesday) I made her a going-away present. I was going to make her a mix CD and a cute little cartoony card, but I panicked. I made her more than THREE HOURS worth of mix CDs and a 12-PAGE mini comic book. I took it over to her apartment and we watched the episode of Buffy where Spike & Buffy get engaged and Xander becomes a literal demon magnet.
GILES: Stop that this instant! I can hear the smacking.
I'm not going to get to see her again until after Christmas. On the one hand it's very exciting because she gets to go to NYU for Christmas's sake! But on the other hand it's a little sad because I won't be able to just see her any time I want.
BON VOYAGE BRANDY!
