Sorry I forgot last night, here's yesterday's blog...
Mandi isn’t someone I’m friends with anymore…we drifted apart beyond even being Facebook friends. But when we WERE friends, we were inseparable. We met at work, I trained her to work at BPG and she took over when I left to go work at corporate. We were like two peas in a pod. We went to Two Rows a lot and flirted with our usual waiter. We were addicted to Jason’s Deli peanut butter cookies, so much so that when we road tripped to Austin to go to her wedding shower, she picked me up with a box of them “for the road” that didn’t even make it halfway, haha. We drove down to Austin to walk with my Aunt Susan in a Susan G. Komen 5K.
Mandi was there for me through fights with my family. I remember one time I had just had a huge fight with my mother, and I just grabbed my purse and drove to Mandi’s. We stood on her balcony smoking her American Spirit-strong-as-crap cigarettes and drinking Shiner while I cried and ranted. Mandi wasn’t just a listener, she told me I should basically tell my mother to “piss off” mostly, haha. Mandi wasn’t someone who dealt with drama. If enough drama went on, she walked away from stuff. So that was her solution for me. But she was a great friend for a time, we always had SO MUCH FUN when we hung out. I’m sad our friendship ended, but we just ended up growing too far apart for the friendship to survive. And that’s alright, sometimes it’s like that in life. I am grateful we were friends, it was great while it lasted.
