Friday Musings


It is 7 o' clock on a Friday evening, and i am sitting at Barnes & Nobles in the mall eating a mediocre pretzel sandwich, and drinking delicious coffee. 


I am killing time before I attempt to go to the 10:10pm 3D showing of Avatar. I havent decided if im going to actually make it... i still have 3 hours to decide.


I thought about going to my sister's and crashing there, but she has a headache. bummer. 


Instead I am listening to Andrew Bird while people watching.


Behind me sits a guy surrounded by books. In front of me sits 3 people, one of whom seems to be rather strange... ah well. 


To my right there are 2 men giving the barista their order. Well, i should say one it waiting atiently for the barista to take his order. 


There are people walking around browsing through the multiple magazine racks. The titles are "Sports, & Transportation." Sounds interesting enough.


My day has been a pretty uneventful day thus far. I chatted with my old youth pastor this morning and that was wonderful. I needed that chat. Am looking forward to chatting with him again later this week!


My BFT (Best friend Taya) and her boys get back tomorrow. I cannot wait. Im dying. I am super pumped to cook, eat, lounge, laugh, cry, hang out with margaret, and end it with a hopefully dreamless sleep in the spare room. I will head off to the big city tomorrow night to greet them at the airport. I told them i would make a sign. i need to work on that...


Ugh. My awful pretzel sandwich is staring at me and taunting me. Why did it have to be so not good? I was hoping for something great and filling. Oh, it's filling but its a super heavy filling. Not quite what i was looking for...


So far since i have been back i havent run into too many people that i know. i kind of like it like that. im not ready to integrate back into society yet. Especially since you Minnesotans do not appreciate my Tuffs.. Ugh. When i rock the skirt with the boots, people look at me funny. i do not enjoy it. So if you see me, please do not laugh at my boots. I will probably cry. and be offended. and that is not ok.


Well, im thinking about maybe packing up the computer and walking the mall. Maybe walmart... i have a few things that i need to get. That and it will be a great time killer~!


Courageously blogging about spending my friday night alone,
Lauren


PS: i have never wished that i was at work so much in my life. i miss my old job at CS...

love this one, lauren. the setting is something i dream about. i wonder, why does sitting at barnes and noble appeal to me so much? it just seems so perfect. anyway, your observations/musings had me wishing i was there with you, sharing your awful pretzel sandwich.

have a ball hanging with taya and the boys! i know it'll be an awesome time. please say hi from me, too!

oh, i forgot to ask- did you see avatar? we've been wanting to jump on that bandwagon.

Lauren Eland said...

oh thank you! and no... no avatar yet! im thinking about seeing it today at 11:10am, but am not sure. I think that it's the lack of plot that ive heard of that is keeping me from going for it. Ah well! Hop on that bandwagon!
