an account of the evening:

6pm: lauren picks me up
*drive to the spaghetti factory
*are seated by a table of 18 women, 40 and older, all wearing red hats no smaller than lampshades on their heads...mind you each hat is a different style but are all the EXACT SAME SHADE OF RED....HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
*i whisper to lauren about the red-hatters and she is sure to be lauren and talk so that the entire restaurant can hear her
* lauren decides i need to give the waiter my number
* i tell lauren i don't do that
* lauren decides the waiter is stupid because he can't get our drinks right and smiles too much
*lauren decides i shouldn't give him my number
*i can't cut bread
*lauren can't cut bread
*lauren is frustrated with the way my pony tail is resting to the side
*smiley waiter is back with the food and yes smiling about giving us our food, he is cute though, but i still don't pursue boys like that
*we're done with dinner
* lauren, again so that all can hear, asks me if she should write my number on our bill
* smiley, confused, waiter walks by as she is speaking
*i say no so that the many can hear
*laughing

8pm
*take pictures in Fredmeyers photobooth and forget that there are 4 shots
* try to find a card for Bobby (belated birthday? miss you? thinking of you? religious?)
* almost pee my pants in greeting card aisle (i just forgot how to spell aisle..isle?) while reading any card that has an animal on the front
*buy bobby laffy taffys
* recall the laffy taffy game we used to play when we were sophomores at lunch
*remember the time bobby and i tried to eat a costco-sized tub of jellie bellies in one sitting
*remember bobby and adam's gum fund (4 years of collecting every type of gum available, chopping one piece of each into tiny pieces and making a new gum that includes all types of gum..does that make sense?)
*remember making adam and bobby a display case for their gum
*remember when bobby and adam used to whip eachother's wrists with licorice ropes until someone would start bleeding
* remember when we would go iceblocking and bobby would kick the poop out of me because i couldn't stop laughing
*remember how warped we were in high school
*read laffy taffy jokes the whole ride home
*remember the joke that bobby and adam hated "Why was the Jelly's mother late coming home from work?".....A). because she was in a traffic jam
*remember bobby and adam's reason for hating that joke : "Why is it the frickin Jelly's mother?"
*lauren and I exchange our feed back about Napolean Dynamite and how everyone agrees that movie was based on Elder Bobby Nichols
*decide i miss bobby a lot
