Just Between Friends
Monday
Dear Lauren:
Got my new running togs today. I’m going to start practicing for the 10k tomorrow. It’s in three months! I’m so excited! He’s sure to really notice me then!
Love,
Mindy
Tuesday
Dear Mindy:
Not again. Honey, don’t start running unless it’s really what you want to do. He may notice you, but remember what happened to me when I tried to impress a guy by running. Remember? I told him I LOVED IT when in fact I’d never run before, and threw up fifty feet into the run. He noticed me alright, but I never saw him again.
Love,
Lauren
Later Tuesday
Dear Lauren:
I know, I know. But this time I am so sure he’s so right for me. We have so much in common. Like, we both like the James Bond movies with Sean Connery in them. I mean, who else do you know who likes those?
Only thing is I saw him staring at some blonde the other day, so I think I’ll dye my hair blonde. It’ll go better with my new outfit anyway.
Love,
Mindy
Wednesday
Dear Mindy,
If you dye your hair blonde, I’m flying 3,000 miles to dye it back red. And I like Sean Connery just as well as you do. In fact, I introduced you to those movies.
Love,
Lauren
Thursday
Dear Lauren,
Then I won’t dye my hair because if you come out here and he finds out about you & Sean Connery he’s going to like you better!
Love,
Mindy
Saturday
Dear Mindy,
When you’ve actually talked to this man, let me know.
Love,
Lauren
Later Saturday
Dear Lauren,
It’s not like we’ve never talked. Just not much!
Love,
Mindy
Thursday
Dear Lauren,
I just got some new boating togs. I’m sending you a picture showing you why! 🙂
Love,
Mindy
Later Thursday
Dear Karen,
If history is any predictor, you’re about to get some running togs.
Love,
Lauren
