32 Hours
Thursday, 10.20.11. “I’m going to bring Melinda a couple cupcakes after school today.”
4PM. Bringing cupcakes to Melinda’s house turned into sitting and chatting for a while. A few friends came over. Then sitting and chatting for a while turned into hanging out for a while. Which then turned into staying for dinner. Which turned into getting ice cream. Which turned into getting tickets to the midnight showing of Paranormal Activity 3 with our friend, Ben. Which then turned into an all nighter. Which turned into catching the sunrise from a hike in Simi Valley. Which turned into going back to Mel’s and crashing on the couches. Which turned into waking up and wanting to be completely lazy in our recovery. Which turned into watching Kim Kardashian’s wedding special. Which turned into Zach coming over. Which turned into getting hungry and going to Chipotle. Which turned into going to the mall. Which turned into picking up Vicky. Which turned into having friends over to meet my puppy, Cooper. Which turned into going back to Melinda’s house to meet up with Justin and Adri. Which turned into going to the pumpkin patch in Valencia. Which turned into carving pumpkins in Mel’s backyard. Which turned into having dinner together. Which turned into hanging out a bit more. Which, finally, turned into the greatest 32 hour nonstop friend marathon ever.
And all because I wanted to bring Melinda a couple cupcakes.
It’s a blessing to have friends that are more like family.
