"WHAT'S FOR DINNER?"

It's been a long time since Gabs and I have hung out together, just the two of us. I've forgotten what fun she is. We both slept half the day away and didn't wake up until way past noon. After feasting over a couple of bowls of cereal, we debated whether or not we wanted to make a trip out to Target. Since it was so late into the afternoon already, we decided to hold off on the excursion. We ended up being quite productive, all while sitting on our buns in our pjs on the couch. Gabs managed to fix my blog (please use my comments page!) and reinstate my links (read about my friends!). We also "shopped" around for new furniture for our apt. Internet is grand! I can shop in my pjs!

After devouring burritos that taste like chimichangas, Gabs finally got around to unpacking. However, we were very distracted w/ Caroline's Bun and Thigh Rocker. We could have very easily watched the informational video that comes along w/ it, but NOOOO, we HAVE to do things the hard way... so right now it's just sitting in our living room. Extra chair, anyone?

When our tummies finally grumbled for the 3rd time (dinner), we finally decided to get dressed to go out. Where did we go??? Only where true nerds hang out, at Barnes and Noble, of course! Using our wondering gift certificates (thanks, Ford of Montebello!!!!), we purchased a couple of books. The fact that separately, we each only ordered one book, and that they happened to be the same book, is a completely different story and irrevelant to the point that we were actually productive today. And I think both our parents would be happy to know that we ate like queens tonight -chicken w/ potatoes and vegetables!!! Even while waiting for chicken, Gabs and I managed to totally confuse each other by using dimes to represent the 3.5 guys that were in the restaurant. (Hey, that "guy" by the window really looked like a fat woman!) Dime #2 was a cute guy though... wonder why he was sitting all alone. We should've invited him back to our place. (Just kidding, Mom.)

However, if there's one thing I love the most about Gabs, it's that she keeps EVERYTHING! Her backpack is such a freakin' time capsule. She still has Talent Show tickets from senior year, which I distinctly remember yelling at her for not selling. Unpacking, she managed to find all these notes we passed to each other in class. We had quite a laugh over them. "Who's John? Who has facial hair???"

Random story #1: Gabby's desk will provide her with a net profit of $5. Considering that the desk was free, I think that she's getting quite a good deal! The desk comes with a makeshift printer stand (old floorlamp box) and one locked drawer. All yours for just $5!!!! What a bargain!

Random story #2: So, I admit it... I'm officially a fat chick! I discovered this while watching CMC this afternoon and snacking on apple chips. You know you're a fat chick when you try to salvage the crumbs at the bottom of the bag by pouring the remnants into your mouth and it ends up in the rolls of your sweatshirt. ::flashback to Saved by the Bell episode where Zack goes out w/ fat chick and she swallows whole bucket of popcorn in one gulp::

Random story #3: While watching TV (yes, I know I watch WAAAAAY too much TV) this afternoon, I happened to catch a clip commending Mr. Tommie Lindsey and his awesome speech team. (Yay, Logan!) Gabs' and mine's first reaction was one of nostalgia, but then nostalgia quickly turned into frustration. How come LA doesn't pay tribute to "heroes"?! There's lots of people also VERY deserving back home!
