* It was a blast getting reacquainted with Sam and Joel (#FriendshipGoals) as they walked within the park and performed Pound It or Pass (a sport they created the place they joke about which strangers they’d gladly intercourse up). In addition, I beloved watching Joel freak Sam out by telling her that he loves her, which made her playfully flee the scene. “You know I don’t have the infrastructure to go this fast!” she joked. And in only a couple quick minutes, I noticed how a lot I missed these two.
* Trisha’s daughter is heading off to school, which suggests the newly single mother is getting ready to be an empty nester. I’m certain she’ll deal with that life change in a very calm and intensely rational method, proper?
* Didn’t Sam’s “teeny ‘tini” jingle make you wish to slam some cocktails with Sam and Joel?
