Well, what can I say about last night?

  1. Bowling was fun. Dad and Susan, Jonathan and his "friend" Jessica and Janine and I were all on teams, Janine and mine had about half the score of everyone else which I'm told is a bad thing. But I enjoyed it. Shopping after was ok, but Coles didn't have the book I need to I have to get out to chapters sometime before Saturday. Anyway, it was cool. Then we went ...
  2. Back to my dad's and played board games. First we played Life, and when I got married my brother stuck a blue peg in my car and was like 'haha! You're marrying a man!' to which I replied 'that's totally not fair!' and then Janine got a pink peg. Jonathan tried to give dad a blue peg, but dad refused to keep it. Then I went on to have a bunch of kids. Ironically enough, Janine didn't. Anyway, we sat around for a while listening to Wierd Al until we went...
  3. To Swing. Which is always fun, but this time I learned something that totally blew my mind. Ok, get this everyone. Robert, tall, swanky, dark haired, impeccibly dressed, never sweaty Robert, who I was completely convinced was about as flamingly gay as you can get, isn't! OMGWTFBBQ???? He was holding hands with a girl, fingers entwined, and their legs were just barely touching each other, and they were leaning in together. Definitely more than friendly. Janine and I do that all the time. Also, Carolyn looked kinda upset about something, which adds and interesting piece to the puzzle. After I saw the hand-holding Janine and I tried very hard to not look like we were staring. It was fun. But mindblowing. But fun. I also got a surprising amount of studying done at swing, but also managed to get a bit of dancing done as well. Go me.

Anyway, now I have to get back to studying. But I think I have everything kinda under control.

Bah

So I've been to THREE bookstores looking for a particular book for a friend and I can't find it anywhere. So I ordered it off Amazon and at one point in ordering it said it should be delivered in 1-2 business days. Great! Then I get the confirmation email and it said 4-10 days. WTF? Well, I need it by the 16th so I guess I'll just have to cross my fingers. Last time I ordered a book it came in a couple days, so hopefully the same will happen.
I'm just really annoyed that I couldn't find the book in stores. A few years ago you could have walked into ANY bookstore and found a copy. But now? Not a chance, apparently.
