Where were you?

To Lori:

At the gym, shooting hoops with Aiden

From Lori:

Was he cool?

To Lori:

Actually, yes, he said he’s fine with us dating as long as I don’t screw it up

Sorry your plan didn’t work

From Lori:

I’m over the plan

I’ve spent the last fifteen years of my life pining over him and I’m tired

Plus, if he likes a woman like Kirsten, he could never be into me

I hate myself for the hope her words bring. Could she really be getting over him?

From Lori:

Although, after today I might have to bump up my girlishness score to a solid eight

To Lori:

What was your previous score?

From Lori:

Between a six and a seven

To Lori:

How would you justify a seven?

From Lori:

I like vanilla lattes, pastel pink bookshelves, and I live with four cats?

To Lori:

The cats shouldn’t count, they fit more into the crazy cat lady category

From Lori:

Fair point

Anyway, today I spent 400 dollars on shoes (that was the sale price, BTW) and I felt like a boho princess in that dress

To Lori:

Aww, look at you, getting in touch with your femininity
