RubyMars:I’ll take it you’re stillconstipated.
AHall80:Whoareyou?
RubyMars:I’m tired. I haven’t been sleeping much. My sister says I get feisty when I’mtired.
AHall80:I see. Now I know for next time. I’ll beprepared.
AHall80:Why can’t yousleep?
RubyMars:Stress from catching up. I went to bed late. The ice-skater I’m doing a dress for wanted me to personally measure her after she was done practicing for the night and didn’t want to pay for my hotel room, so I had to drive to Austin to measure her last night and drove straight home afterward. By the time I got back and managed to fall asleep, I only got a three-hour nap in before my little sister started banging on my door to get me to go have breakfast with her. I got back and went straight to work. I’m not made for earlymornings.
Ahall80: What time you usuallywakeup?
RubyMars:I plead thefifth.
Ahall80: I see howitis.
Ahall80: I thought this was our no-judgingzone.
RubyMars:Itis…
Ahall80: Then you know I’m not going to judge you. What time do you usuallygetup?
RubyMars:11a.m.
Ahall80: I thought you were going say 2 p.m. or something. 11isn’tbad.
RubyMars:I only wake up at 2 p.m. onSundays. :)
AHall80:Lol. That’s morelikeit.
AHall80:I’ll drop it. What’d you do forbreakfast?
RubyMars:This Mexican food place close by. I had a couple of barbacoa tacos. She annihilated two burritos on her own. I didn’t know she had that appetite in her. Maybe it’s years of watching her diet so closely that now she’s making upforit.
AHall80:She’s still notskating?
RubyMars:No. Her coach has been calling her every day to see when she’s going to hit the rink again, but she’s ignoring hercalls.
AHall80:You think she’s goingtoquit?
RubyMars:I hope she doesn’t, but who knows. Most figure skaters have really short careers. She already started years later than the majority of them do, and I told you she’s a soreloser.
AHall80:I thought you were gonna give her the tough-lovetreatment?
RubyMars:My mom asked menotto.
AHall80:Why?
RubyMars:Because she thinks it might go the opposite way we want it to. I’ll make her mad and she’ll decide she really wants to quit. Then the whole dreamisdead.
AHall80:Hmm
RubyMars:Yeah… I still think I might do it even though I’m worried, but I’m not sure I can talk crap to her. She’s just getting more and more pissy. I’d love her if she skated or if she’d didn’t, but it would be a shame if she quit. Everyone knows she has a gift that not many people have. You have to watch her skate to know that’s what she was borntodo.
RubyMars:I know that sounds corny, butit’strue.
RubyMars:I’m rambling. Sorry.How’sAx?
