she’s a shopaholic.
SnowAngel:
TINY shopaholic. small insignificant problem.
mad maddie:
yr parents have no idea what they’ve gotten you into, do they?
SnowAngel:
my parents think that aunt sadie is taking very good care of me, which she is!
SnowAngel:
anyway, shouldn’t you be driving to the airport right now?
mad maddie:
yeah, guess i better go. u really don’t wanna come?
SnowAngel:
it’s not that i DON’T—it’s that i CAN’T.
mad maddie:
all right. but remind me to tell you about the latest jana drama, involving an ill-fated stuffed animal named Boo Boo Bear.
SnowAngel:
Boo Boo Bear? oh no, plz tell me jana didn’t steal some poor kid’s teddy bear!
mad maddie:
jana didn’t steal Boo Boo Bear. she OWNS Boo Boo Bear.
SnowAngel:

mad maddie:

SnowAngel:

mad maddie:
have u ever noticed how much airports are like shopping malls? i cld buy noise reducing headphones! caramel apples! an iatlanta shirt with OR without babydoll sleeves!
SnowAngel:
babydoll sleeves, for sure
mad maddie:
yeah, that’s gonna happen
mad maddie:
also, so many peeps with signs that say thingslike, “welcome back, troops!” it’s odd, but sweet. i asked a guard if today was some special day for the military, and he said no, that EVERY SINGLE DAY ppl come to the waiting area to support the armed forces. it made me a little teary.
SnowAngel:
you? really???
mad maddie:
not cuz i believe in the war. i’m a lover, not a fighter! but there’s something slightly amazing about all this outpouring of support.
SnowAngel:
where’s zo?
mad maddie:
angling for the closest spot she can get to the place where passengers come out of security. she looks like she’s going to piddle her pants.
SnowAngel:
aw, cute. what a warm welcome that wld be. a “warm” welcome??? get it???
mad maddie:
hilarity, hilarity. hey-hey, new group of peeps coming off escalator. bye!

zoegirl:
oh, angela, i am so in love!
SnowAngel:
hey, zo. sorry about not making it to the airport.
zoegirl:
that’s ok. i mean, i’m sorry 2, but no big deal.
zoegirl:
doug says “hi,” btw
SnowAngel:
aw, “hi” to him 2
SnowAngel:
so did you fall into a passionate embrace the instant you saw him?
zoegirl:
well, his parents were there, so more like a really big hug. but omg, it felt *amazing*! it was like my whole body just opened up against his. like, ahhhhhh, this is what i’ve been missing.
zoegirl:
his arms were so strong, and he smelled so good, and he held me for what seemed like forever.
SnowAngel:
sounds wonderful
zoegirl:
i couldn’t keep my hands off him. seriously, itwas like an addiction. i can totally see where that expression came from, that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
SnowAngel:
huh, maybe i should i try that with logan. whaddaya think—should i send him off to SEA the world?
zoegirl:
and on the way home, we *did* get to … you know. be more physical. his parents had a driver waiting for them in a limo, so for the car ride back it was just me and doug and maddie.
SnowAngel:
doug didn’t wanna take the limo?
zoegirl:
no way! he wanted to be with me!
zoegirl:
mainly we just snuggled, since maddie was in the front seat. but it was pure bliss.
SnowAngel:
“pure bliss”? wowzers.
zoegirl:
you know what i mean, cuz you have that with logan.
zoegirl:
hey, let’s go on a double date this weekend! you and me and doug and logan!
SnowAngel:
uh … sure. i mean, lemme check with logan, but that would be fun.
zoegirl:
not on friday, cuz on friday i want doug all to myself. but how about saturday? it could be a pre-valentine’s thing, since valentine’s day is the following tuesday.
SnowAngel:
okey-doke—IF my nose is back to normal.
zoegirl:
angela,
