I sat down tonight to try to finish the 4th book in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. As I was reading, I began to get tears in my eyes and realized how much I miss my "sisterhood girls" (Cayla, Lydia, Katie). I called Lyd to ask her to come over (it was a lil before midnight) and waited for her to come over -we decided we would go to Walmart and get her mom a card and some flowers. While I waited, I called Cayla (she didn't pick up) and I then called Aaron to figure out where she was. Aaron said she had gone home because she had an 11pm curfew (who knew?) but he offered to call Chloe (Cayla's sis) to tell Chloe to tell Cayla to call me (confused?). Cayla called, we talked for a bit, she said she couldn't come with Lyd and I to Walmart cus of her curfew. Lyd came over, I got out of my pajamas, we left for Walmart.
On our way to Walmart, we decided to call Katie. She didn't pick up. So we drove to her house and banged on her window. Through her screened window she said, "What the flip are you doing here?" and we both laughed so hard we fell down on the grass and sat there giggling for a good minute. After talking for a bit and her telling us she was to tired to go to Walmart, we left and drove to Walmart (but not before driving by the retention pond where this is rumored to be a five-foot carnivorous lizard living).
Getting to Walmart, we went for the card section and decided that we should get Cayla a card to express our sympathy for her "devastatingly" early curfew. The card we picked had 6 girls in swimsuits (sitting on the side of a pool) laughing and on the inside said "girl friends help you make nonsense of the world". We picked out mothers' day cards and flowers, checked out, and drove to Cayla's house where we sat in the driveway for half an hour writing in her card and drawing on the envelope.
When we were done with the card, we looked up and noticed that Cayla's light was on in her room and so snuck up to her window and peeped in. Ahem, when we looked in, we noticed that she was completely nude and burst out laughing. We tapped on her window and she was like, "wtf?". So she came to the window and realized it was us. We talked for a bit and she told us to leave her card in the mailbox. As Lydia was driving me home at 1:30am, I got a text message from Cayla reading "I love both of you an unexplainable amount. Love always, the nudist Lena."
I love my Sisterhood girls. By the way, each of us have our own character from the book that we are identified with. Cayla is Lena, I'm Bridget (hence the nickname Bee), Lydia is Carmen, Katie is Tibby. I'm gonna miss them and our late-night rendezvous when I'm at Asbury (hopefully, someone else will be willing to make 1am Walmart runs with me in Kentucky).
