I enjoyed sleeping in until 12, and then being a bum around the house.  I played DDR and beat some songs on Heavy mode and after getting tired from that, I sat in front of the computer.  I booked my plane ticket to fly out to California.  My flight will first take me to LAX to visit Eric at Pomona, then up to Stanford!  I’m really looking forward to visit Eric ‘in his element,’ haha.  I did most of the Monday NYT crossword and then watched the Cardinal’s game. 

Tonight, I went to TJ-Maxx to try and find a tie to match my pink striped shirt.  I ended up finding a really cheap dark green tie for $5, so I went ahead and got that.  I headed over to Eric’s house for a bit and Paige met us there to go to Oberweis.  When we left, Eric didn’t take the U-turn, so he had to turn into a neighborhood to go south on Lindbergh.  Then, he took a left, heading north on Lindbergh again!  It was really funny, because we were pretty blatant about telling him to turn a certain way, but he just forgot.  Well, it was funny when it happened.

Oberweis was really good!  I had the Dulce de Leche ice cream Eric said was really good – he was right!  It was really sweet and good and I didn’t have to worry about my stomach hurting because I got some Lactaid when we stopped at Schnucks earlier.  I also picked up some Blueberry muffin mix and some pancake mix to make for the coming weekends.  We then returned to Eric’s house and Andrea came over. 

At Eric’s, we played some pool and made tentative plans to go to Chicago.  I really hope that trip works out, since I’ve never been there besides the airport, and it would be lots of fun to go with friends before we all head off to college again!  After some messing around with Eric’s ‘wooden shaft’ and Andrea’s ‘purse-a-nal items,’ we returned to our respected houses. 

I ironed my pants for work tomorrow, packed up some half.com CD orders, and then talked online before bed.
