Old Friends, New Places

Went out with that same old friend again, for the sake of the blog and time we'll call her Kit. She's quite a gal, you know. Although I'm having a hard time believing that she actually enjoys my company, I realized. I mean, it's strange and bizarre, but I feel like a character from "Knocked Up" and that I simply can not accept someone's love, no matter how apparent. She says that she genuinely enjoys my company, and every time she does it boggles my mind; what could be so great about me, anyway?

We went out for ice cream at the Marble Slab, an absolutely to-die-for place with the most delicious gourmet ice cream I've ever had! They make all of their ice cream in the shop and you pick the flavour you want (ie: cheesecake, eggnog, swedish dark chocolate, birthday cake!) and then you pick what you want in it (ie: real reese's peanut butter cups, fresh raspberries, almonds, strawberries, smarties, gummie bears!) and they mix it up like dough on a freezing cold marble slab! It's pretty remarkable and so delicious. A little high on the $$ scale, but worth it in my books. Not for always, but definitely for sometimes!

I really enjoy talking with her though, it's such a new experience for me. I'm used to asking people how they're doing and then talking about that for a conversation, but she asks me how I'm doing, and then is actually interested! She even offers advice, I'm so not used to this! She's a really sincere, sweet, down-to-earth kind of gal, and I appreciate having her back in my life so immensely, that I probably should have gotten her a gold necklace for Christmas instead of a little jar of coffee. Needless to say, she liked it!

Thank you, sweetie.
