As I mentioned, yesterday I took my MINI Cooper up for its annual maintenance check... and one thing that makes its bearable is that I don't have to sit around the dealership and wait for it... as one of my good friends from my old workplace lives close by (one of the bad things about a Cooper is dealerships are few and far between, so I have to drive nearly 30 miles to get it serviced - which I know is probably a lot shorter distance than a lot of other folks).
So while we should do a lunch/catch-up session more than once a year... we all know how time seems to fly by and it just does not seem to happen. But we were very good buddies, killing way too much gossiping each morning, but always with some paperwork close at hand for cover. I'll definitely date myself by telling you our morning after Melrose Place "can you believe it?!!" chats were... wait for it... legendary! (Funny enough, we both watch and love Brothers & Sisters now... and she kinda resembles Calista Flockhart)
She also made me feel slightly old by mentioning that her eldest daughter was turning 11 this weekend and reminding me that we had lunch together the very same day she went into labor!
Anyhow, the conversation got around to American Idol (shocking I know!) and going over our favorites... we're liking the same folks Kris, Adam, and Allison... but then she totally cracked me up, saying her 11 year old daughter turned to her the other night after Kris performed and said...
"I like his face. I like his hair. I like the way he sings. I like everything about him."
To which I replied that we pretty much have the same conversation each week at our house!
Guess it's time to start to act my age, not my shoe size... or not.
