My best friend, Candice, and I went shopping today. What a lovely time we had! We have friendship traditions that we must practice everytime we are together. Sad thing is that most (ok all) of them include food!
For instance, Sonic is a tradition that started in college. It's just not the same going anywhere else just for a drink. It's never as good and there are never as many options. Another tradition since college is going to Taco Bell. She wants a Beef Grilled Stuft Burrito and I want a Chicken Grilled Stuft Burrito with no pico. Another one that stemmed from college and blossomed later on was coffee. A good coffee shop is hard to find. I like coffee, but Candice LOVES it and really gets into it. I don't know the lingo so I find it akward and almost embarassing when it comes to ordering coffee. If I had the same taste, I'd just say "I'll have that too!" but I like different ones than her.
We started off the day at IHOP. We finally got one within several hours of my house!!! Yummy! Then hit several hot spots in Garden including Target (angels were singing!), Sam's and unfortunately we went to Wal-Mart... On a Saturday afternoon... and I didn't kill anyone! Aren't you all proud! As much as I despise Wal-Mart, I realize in our desolate area it is a necessary evil.
I had to get a new mouse for the computer. Ours was communicating to many clicks and it almost got me into some trouble. I decided that since I needed a new mouse I'd get a wireless mouse and keyboard. I hate wires strewn everywhere and this would help cut down on that! So I got a new set and it turns out the keyboard is identical to my former keyboard just in a different color. So explain to me then, why I can't type on the stupid thing! Anyway, I do love having a wireless mouse!
We went to a little scrapbook shop in which Candice could've maxed out Donald Trump's credit card provided they had enough stuff for her to do so. I had fun looking. I'm just not ready to do that yet. If I got into writing letters and such, I'd justify doing some cards and stuff. I hate my sloppy handwriting so I don't really like writing letters and cards. I could type it up on the comp and print it out, but I'm too lazy for that.
Next we went to Crazy House. I LOVE Crazy House! It is our western wear store. This is the store I could max out DT's credit card! If I had the guts and the pain threshold, I'd sooooo join the rodeo world! If anything, I'd do it just for the clothes!!! I was in heaven when I went in a saw their women's rodeo shirts were on clearance! I did my best to keep the drool off of the clothes I wasn't going to buy! The whole time Candice (who does not share my love for great western clothes at all) was looking at all the shirts saying "This would make a great scrapbook page!" I ended up only getting a shirt and a pair of jeans. This is by far the most I have EVER spent on any article of clothing other than formal attire. It's sad when a pair of jeans cost almost as much as your senior prom dress! Eeeek! But they're Cruel Girl jeans and I know they're worth it!
As we were out and about we were discussing the next holiday on the calendar and what we had planned. Her hubby is a cop so she never knows what is going on. I thought about lingerie but I am not in the type of a body to be wearing the stuff. I figured a great western shirt and Cruel Girl jeans was enough to get his heart stopped, and I can wear it in public! That just made my jeans dual purpose making their value escalate!
Anyway, Candice and I had a wonderful day. I am so glad she is back on the mainland and close to me again! Hawaii was great for her, and she misses it more everyday, but the little selfish part of me is glad she is back in the dry, forsaken land! Cold sores and all!
