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.
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!
