days off are made for long lunches!

i really did need today. disd, thank you for fair day!! i am so glad i didn't go to the fair! i slept in and then i went to an early lunch with 2 amazing people and got to catch up and just spend some time laughing. i never really think about how much i love community and hanging out with friends until i actually get out and spend quality time with them!

chuys! love me some mexican food! (well...chimichangas-fake mexican)

but this little guy and his brothers made it feel a bit more authentic...anyone remember animaniacs and the talking pigeons??

i used to come home from the steakhouse i worked at and watch animaniacs with kendra and laugh at all the silliness. i don't think there was really a more perceptive, creative, facetious cartoon out there.

did i mention that it was about a 3 1/2 hour lunch-definitely not a complaint, we just really had that much to talk about! and something unexpected happened while we were there. a young lady and perhaps mom and aunt came in, and you know how there's that look of recognition, and your brain races to try to pull the right file? well, my filing fingers were a little slower than normal. so, i had to pull the recognize but need a name line. as soon as she said the first name (which is what i was thinking, but i've made a fool of myself saying the WRONG name before), i finished with her last name because i remembered it. it was one of my former campers! so random, so fun!

on the way home, i had to stop at bed bath and beyond because i needed more diet coke mix and i wanted to get some dr. pepper mix so that i have it for bmayes next weekend! (i think she likes dr. pepper...i hope). b, if you're reading this, don't pretend you like dr. pepper if you don't!

i might have also gotten piroulines-a wonderful coffee treat..trying to get my 4 cups of coffee a day since they have now done the research to support woman's psychological/emotional balance has a link to caffeinated coffee (umm, i would love to be a fly on the wall in these test groups...and i am curious as to what other factors were taken into account). if the study is about caffeine in and of itself, angela and i should have no problems..but if it is strictly caffeinated coffee, i come close on some days.

today has been a fair-ly wonderful day!!
