I got an IM from my friend Karen today at work and all it said was, "do you know what lylas means?" Without a doubt! Love You Like A Sister. Doesn't everyone know that? Yes, Karen knew that too, the topic had come up at her work and apparently no one she asked knew what it meant. We both thought that was common knowledge for any female between the age of 22-32 years old. It is how you ended allllll of your notes in grade school as well as yearbook signings. We then went into the classic:
"you are so fun and pretty. stay sweet!"
"keep in touch"
"have a great summer, see you next year"
"so glad we got to know eachother this year"
"don't ever change!"
Yearbooks were fun. It was always the last day of the year and we would all go out on the playground/field and play the last hours. It seemed like FOREVER out there. Like it was your last chance to see these people. I look back now and it was only 2 and half months tops that I wouldn't see them. So silly. We would all go out there with our yearbooks and you would muster up the courage to go have the cute boy you liked sign it. As soon as he did you would run back over to your girlfriends open the book and see what he wrote. "Sarah - Have a good Summer!" And then you compare, did he put an excalmation point on yours? Did he write the same thing? It was so much fun riding the school bus home on the last day of school. Saying goodbye to everyone as they got off at their stop. You would wave and yell out the window. It was the one time of the year the bus driver allowed us to stand up in the seats, lean out the window as we drove off. Of course he would say, "sit down back there" but he would say it with a smile and only once.
Karen and I deciede that there should be adult yearbooks! How awesome would those be?? I can only imagine the pictures that it would be filled with and who would write in the pages. The yearbook signing died up in High School until it came time for the Senior Books then we all went nuts again.
Anyway, it was a fun memory today.
LYLAS - Sarah
