LYLAS

Update: We had a lovely time at lunch. Not nearly enough time to catch up on 10 years, but we got through the most important things. We lead very different lives. She is a MOM through and through. She's all about PTA, Girl Scouts and dance classes, and you can tell she lives through her kids which is fine, but it's not me. I could tell she was very concerned with appearences (lots of talk about who lives in which neighborhoods, houses, junior league, etc.), but in a very non-judgmental, non-snobby way. Who knows if we'll get together again. Part of me thinks it might be better left alone.......

I'm having lunch today with my best friend from elementary and middle school. We met on the first day of kindergarten and were inseparable from that day on. She was the "bad" kid, I was the "good" one. We got into SO MUCH trouble together. As an adult, I can certainly see why my parents didn't exactly LOVE me hanging out with her. We eventually drifted apart in high school because, ahem, certain activities became more important to her. I haven't talked to or seen her in about 8 or so years, but I hear she is now married with two kids. She recently found my name in our reunion booklet, so she contacted me and here we are. I'm really looking forward to seeing her, but a tad nervous.... (Seriously, are those kid mullets? Methinks, they are.....)
