Adventures with Maegan

27 Mar

My good friend, Maegan, is a bibliophile. I love reading, but she really loves reading. She buys LOTS of books and lets me borrow them.

Maegan introduced me to Twilight. Although I’d never read any of the books, I went with her to the midnight premiere of the movie. I couldn’t believe how much I enjoyed the plot. The chemistry between Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson was palpable. And afterward Maegan let me borrow her books. And then I said, “Kristen and Robert don’t have any chemistry!”

Maegan is Team Jacob by the way. The crazy woman. Everyone knows Edward is perfect. ;)

A few months ago, we decided to workout together at Maegan’s gym. I rarely do cardio. I like my low impact Pilates. I arrived at her place and we chatted for a few minutes while I raided her pantry because I can’t workout on an empty stomach. Then, we drove to the gym. We went to the front desk to get a guest pass and realized that they were closing in 12 minutes.

So, what did we do? We ran upstairs and used the elliptical machines for 10 minutes. When we left I decided I really needed to eat dinner, so we stopped at Chic-fil-A and I completely defeated the whole purpose of doing cardio.

Friday, my last day in Dallas, Maegan drove me to my emergency appointment with my TMJ Disorder specialist. I wasn’t hurting or anything. I’d seen him earlier this week for a regular adjustment, but there was a sharp edge and a crack in the appliance that had to be fixed before I moved to New Jersey.

On the first day of spring, Maegan and I were supposed to have a garage sale. Here in Dallas on the first day of spring it was 35 degrees and raining. So tomorrow, while I’m on a plane flying to New Jersey, Maegan is going to sell all my stuff. Is she a great friend or what?

Check out Maegan’s blog here! She’s running a series where she tests and rates drug store mascaras. Women across the country are waiting to hear what the #1 mascara is!

Love,
A Young Wife

P.S. If you read my first post about Maegan, you know we were supposed to take pictures together. We do not have a single picture together. Guess what? Still no pictures! We either forget or one of us says, “I am not taking pictures today!” Maybe it’s time for some Photoshop magic?

    Ashley – thank you soooo much for calling me last night. I have such mixed emotions for you about this latest chapter in your life. I’m excitd for you, but I wanted the apt to be ready and warm for you two. Just hearing your voice and hearing about Henry and the hotel (sh-h-h!) made me feel so much better. I love you.
