Popcorn and a Gallon of Soda please...

So I did something sassy today. I left work on time. I know that sounds like something we all should do but in my workplace not staying late can be frowned upon. Even when I come in at 6:50 AM. Which I did...
Beth is moving, I was tired - I wanted to hang w/my best friend.
Granted this means tomorrow will be a long day but big whoop.
Beth and I went and saw Must Love Dogs. By no means an Oscar winner, but who doesn' t love them some John Cusak and Diane Lane? I can only hope to age that beautifully...
Of course we couldn't just go to a movie, so we hit Barnes and Noble - gorged on food we did not need and made ourselves ill. So we walked around and looked at books.
Who am I going to do this with in a few weeks?
Who people? I can spend literally days w/Beth talking about anything. She can rip on me and it does not piss me off. IE -" since I have known you you have said you are going to send in an air check tape. When are you going to do it? "
yo.
She reads like I do and always recommends tremendous books. She doesn't think I am a dork for wanting to get a tattoo of a name from one of my favorite John Irving books.
I do and plan to when I have some extra dough.
She is my girl and it sucks that she is leaving.

And at the same time so happy! She has a great job waiting for her and school is covered. So exciting. And what a place to visit.
Can not wait to visit!!!

I have never had a friend like her and it is sad that my Beth is going to be far away.
As they say - I will survive.
And besides isn't that what email is for? And airplanes, and telephones... and paper...

You nutbag, I wasn't ripping on you, I was tellin' it to ya straight, yo yo yo. :) You know I wasn't ripping, right? I would not never ever rip on you! nono!

And yes, you will visit me and it will be for cheapies, because my apartment will be your apartment, AND there will be massive phone bills and friendly e-mails. We will be OK. I swear it. :)

P.S. I cannot believe I ate that much popcorn and then drank that much coffee. Boooooo.

Doesn't sound to me like you two will miss a beat at all. Good Luck Beth!
