Malaika, the girl who invited Dani to Cape Cod over the summer invited her on their Christmas trip - the week between Christmas and New Years. They're going skiing for ten days in New England.
Malaika told Danielle to tell me to call her mom to talk to her about it. I want to call Malaika's mom and tell her thank you but no. Alex and I almost died of missing Dani during the summer trip. And this one is even longer. And it involves skiing. Danielle doesn't know how to ski! Isn't skiing how people break legs? And die, skiing into trees and stuff?
Seriously, my chest hurts and it's hard to breathe. Maybe we are the type of people who are not meant to be apart. Is there a type of person like that? I told Alex and she got tears in her eyes right away - I had to tell her I didn't say Dani could go yet. Alex sat in my lap and told me to tell her she can't. I don't want Dani to leave.
In other news, I worked tonight and then Josh and I were supposed to go out but I was really tired so we just went back to his house to hang out. His mom was home and she told me that tomorrow morning she's "going girlie shopping" and asked if I would keep her company. Josh told me later that he told his mother about the time I told him when the last time I got about was (8th grade). I'm kind of embarrassed he told her, but he said not to be. But I am.
We watched Silence of the Lambs and I just know if I tell Danielle she can go on the trip she will somehow get lost away from Malaika and some freak will find and steal her and be screaming, "It puts the lotion in the basket" at her until she dies.

oh my. i know this is hard for you because you girls have to stick together like glue.
it's such a wonderful thing that dani gets a chance to do this. but i can imagine it's hard to decide.
skiing is not all that life-threateningly dangerous. she's going to take a beginners course, and beginners are usually taken good care of and watched closely. it's mostly the reckless people who end up hurt.
but i guess that's not the main reason you don't want her to go. you just know you'll be missing her terribly.
If Danielle's friends parents set her up with some lessons - it would be a great opportunity for her. Skiing isn't that hard, but it's tons of fun! Of course I understand that you'd miss her, 10 days is a long time. At the very least it's great that her friends parents are generous enough to have invited her - that speaks highly of her and you. :-)
