Reunited?

So I traveled to NY yesterday to visit the family for a few days. Its the first time I've been home without my fiance in tow and I miss him terribly. I hate traveling and Greyhound was positively horrid yesterday. The workers are so ghetto and the bus patrons were so freaking annoying. I just needed one match to burn the whole place down.

I got to my parents' house and my ex-best friend called and wanted to hang out. Apparantly she had run into my mother earlier and was told that the Prodigal daughter was coming to town. I agreed to hang out somewhat apprehensively. See my previous post on An Old Friend Come Back Again

(Did you see that? I did my first link, thanks Ris!)

Anyways, she came to pick me up and we went to Fridays at the mall because she really wanted to get a drink. We kinda fell back into our old routine more or less. I was more on the cautious end because I was feeling her out and wondering when she was going to break into the "why did we stop being friends" conversation. It never did come up but the pink elephant weighed heavily on my mind throughout the day. We talked about everything; my fiance and upcoming wedding, her marriage and two kids, etc, etc.

She is different though, at least I think so. She used to be so much  more fashionable in our heyday. She didn't seem as much yesterday but then again she did just have a baby. (She looked great by the way for someone who just gave birth).

We were in Burlington Coat factory and she did something that surprised and annoyed the hell out of me. The mall closes around nine thirty and we walked into Burlington around 9:25 because she wanted to see the shoes (they have really really cute shoes). In the middle of our persual, they announced that the store was closed. This one was still trying on shoes and then she asked the sales associate how much it was because it was missing a price tag. I don't know...I used to work at Macys and I hated it when customers walked in super late and then wanted to be waited on. We're closed, dammit! That really annoyed me and struck me as selfish...But whatever.

The whole day was cool, I felt comfortable around her. I could not shake the feeling that I wanted to ask her to be in my wedding party. Not really because I want her to but because I still feel guility that I was maid of honor at hers. But I'm not gonna do that. We need to move slowly and not rush into things. Yesterday was fun, lets see what happens tomorrow. She wants me to come to the wake with her. I hate wakes.

I'm sorry if this sounded random, I can't think properly in my parents' house.
