Bette: Is there a hot tub available?

Janet: Definitely! One of the primary perks for skiing in my book.

Bette: Then count me in. Where do you want me to meet you on Friday and what time?

Janet: How early can you leave? Ideally we’d like to be headed up around 4, no later than 5 and we leave from home here in Manhattan.

Bette: Let me check my appointment book at the office and send you an email. I can take a taxi to your place. Hey, is there internet access there?

Janet: Yes, my husband needs it for his fantasy league stuff, gosh that crap pisses me off.

Bette: Well, Tina and I use our web cams to stay in touch. Its great way to stay in touch, especially with the baby.

Janet: Yea, that has got to be so hard for you, especially with the time change.

Bette: Well it beats not seeing them at all. Listen I better get out of here and to the office. Thanks for the invite and I we’ll work out the details for the weekend.

Bette gets to the office invigorated from by her workout and gets a lot done before lunch. Mandy has ordered in a sandwich for Bette. She takes a short break to eat and send Tina an email about her weekend.

Good Morning T!

Had a great workout. I ran into a friend, Janet and she invited me to join her for a ski weekend in Vermont. Gosh I haven’t been on skis since we took that trip to Aspen years ago and if I recall right we didn’t ski that much. I just wanted to touch base while taking break for lunch. I’ll talk to you two tonight.

Love B.

Tina: Who the hell is Janet and why is she taking my Bette skiing?

Hey babe, glad you had a good workout and are taking a break for lunch. We’ll talk about “Janet” tonight.

Bette: Hmm, guess I could have worded that better.

Bette didn’t let this bother her for long, she knew they’d have a chance to talk tonight. She got back to work and ended up staying late; 9pm to be sure she’d get done enough to take off a bit early on Friday. She was really looking forward to going to New England as she really hadn’t done as much exploring of the east coast since relocating. Once again she decided on the neighborhood diner for dinner, at this hour she knew she’d never actually cook something once she arrived home. Once home she showered and decided to call Tina on the phone hoping she wasn’t calling during bath time.
