lunch and laserdiscs

last night i was feeling tired and lazy, and i knew i had to work today so i decided i would do nothing. but i did not do nothing. oh no. i did so much more. inspired by a blog post by Ms. B Cakes, i decided to go to this large store where they sell all this food. maybe you have been to one of these? and then i purchased some food and brought it to my home. then i cut up stuff and sauteed things and baked stuff and lo and behold, when i was done i had prepared my own dinner! in my own home! pretty incredible, no?

then i drank wine and ate my yummy homemade meal while watching disc one of season 4 of 90210. donna, kelly and david moved into a beach house instead of the dorms! mrs. martin will not be pleased! donna and david bickered while setting up their fancy pants laser disc player! then andrea was the victim of anti-semitism when she tried to join a sorority. apparently, they don't have jews in california. really. in beverly hills. no jews. best not to ask questions. just go with it ... oh, what types of hijinks will these kids get into next?!

so this morning i was very excited to bring my own lunch to work. (did i mention i gained 5 pounds from my camping trip? five pounds! i was barely gone 48 hours!) so i packed a tupperware full of my delicious vegetarian enchilada casserole and i packed another tupperware full of strawberries. and i put it in a large plastic bag and placed it RIGHT NEXT TO MY PURSE so that i wouldn't forget it. i even said to myself, "self, do NOT forget this plastic bag which you have strategically placed right next to your purse." i think you can see where i am going with this.

anyway, i was running early so i decided to stop at this new gas station in the hood in hopes of getting tea. (they do not have coffee or tea anywhere in the vicinity of library in the hood). anyway, this gas station was like a desert oasis. there was coffee and tea and drinks and fresh baked bread. and the two middle eastern guys who ran it were kinda cute in a just-got-out-of-the-israeli-army sorta way. so i bought a tea and a bottle of water to go with my fabulous nutritious lunch and that is when i realized that my fabulous lunch was not in my car with my purse, but was instead sitting on the floor of my bedroom, most likely already rotting in the 90 degree heat. grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
