These are four old college friends who are going on a girls trip to the beach. They desperately need this getaway. They spent about an hour debating over text whether they should get trip insurance after a 3-day back and forth over the actual beach house. One refuses to sleep in a bunk bed, and two say they’ll sleep anywhere (but will be annoyed to get the bunk bed). Two of them will plan a diet leading up to the trip, but one won’t really even start it until a week out. They will spend three days reminiscing, telling stories, complaining about their husbands, complaining about their kids, complaining about their vaginas. They will spend an accumulated 1.5 hours talking about sex. They will go through 15 bottles of wine, and one of them will bring some weed and a vape pen, which 3 of them will partake in, and feel like maybe they aren’t that old after all. They will all order salads at dinner and then bake a frozen pizza back at the house afterwards and eat the whole thing. They will be friends until they are little old ladies.
But tonight Harriett is going to rev Dan’s engine! She started with an immensely painful wax this morning which was also quite demoralizing, as Harriett certainly lived up to her name. Tonight she’ll corner Dan after the kids are in bed.
Meet Dottie.She’s that person you know who is obsessed with the Olympics.She hosts an opening ceremony viewing party each year and commands an intense focus normally reserved for a lottery drawing or a breaking news announcement
Of course she will have a cellophane wrapped gift for each teacher containing a candle, lotion, chocolate covered almonds and a $25 target gift card to be hand-delivered by their children on the first day.Her back windshield will be covered with bubble letters written in shoe polish exclaiming ‘Back to School for Paxton and Claxton!’
