Seventh Meeting with Paula

Today Paula and I met for lunch for the first time since Thanksgiving break. We talked a little bit about what she and I each did over the break. She went to her mother-in-law's house and watched the Cowboys game for Thanksgiving. She asked me how my break was and I told her about how my first night at home started with a truck being set on fire down our street. She was shocked by this but then told me about how a teenager had once driven a truck into their neighbor's house because she didn't know how to drive it.

After this crazy storing telling, we talked about how much we love Christmas time. Paula loves decorating for Christmas, and she is on one of those rare streets that still goes all out when decorating their homes. She told me about her plans to go to Hawaii with her husband for New Year's. This would be her second time going, and she is excited for the warmer climate. She asked me if I was going to visit any of my friends over the break and I told her I wasn't exactly sure but I would like to. 

After we were done with our lunches we grabbed ourselves a cookie from the dessert table and both agreed that sweets are the best way to help stress. I had a group meeting so we unfortunately had to cut our meeting a little shorter than usual but while walking down the stairs Paula started frat-snapping. I don't even know what the real name of this is called but it's basically putting your thumb and middle finger together and then flicking your wrist so that your pointer finger hits the other two fingers. I thought this was so funny and she didn't get why I was so surprised that she could do it but I told her I'd been trying to figure out how to do that for a year now, so maybe next time she'll teach me.
