hot soup and warm, soft bread

mmmmmmm carbs.
this morning i woke up and for a moment i thought it was still the previous evening. it was dark and cold. i'd taken nyquil before going to bed because i think i may be coming down with something, but i didn't give myself enough time for it to wear off so i REALLY didn't want to get out of bed. i almost fell asleep in the shower and again while putting on my pantyhose. if you'd pushed me onto a bed, i probably would have stayed there. the only reason i came in is because i am going over a report with some clients at 4, but i'm out after that.
so anyway, being semi-sick and lazy and fat and PMSing, it was incredible that i even made it to the gym last night, but i did. i got on the bike for 30 minutes and the sauna for 15. don't give me that look - at least i made an appearance.
i have been on a mission to find good workout earphones (a) because i can't seem to find the ones i have (which aren't all that great) and (b) because every set of headphones i've had just plain suck. so after the gym, i went to walmart. i left $98 later...how did i manage to do this? i'll tell you (because i know you're bored):
1. when you walk into wal-mart you all of a sudden remember you need things...i can't explain this phenomenon - it happens in target too. upon walking in, i veered left into the beauty/medicine aisles...this is always bad. i picked up earplugs (they've been quiet over at diesel lately, but i am not taking chances), razors (not sure i needed these), nivea soft (packaging), dayquil and nyquil (i feel like i keep buying these two never knowing if i ran out of the previous batch).
2. after leaving the beauty/medicine aisles, i passed the clothes aisles on my way to the food aisles. now normally, you don't stop in the clothes aisles at walmart, but i was intrigued by what i saw. i found to the max...at walmart! to the max is the cheapest Max Azria (BCBG, Herve Leger) line. i picked up a dress and a cardigan type thing but later left the cardigan because it had some sort of stain on it. the selection was impressive. i didn't confirm that it was actually max azria until this morning after some investigative work - you know Max Azria is not going to admit his clothes are being sold at Walmart, so convieniently, To The Max has been renamed BCBGeneration at all major department stores where To The Max was previously sold. please. the designs are still Max Azria and the fact you don't openly admit to being in Walmart (no verbiage on any of the collateral about who the designer was) is LAME. at least Norma Kamali stands by her clothes. not that it stopped me from buying the dress. $24 weeeeeeeee!
3. so after picking up my dress, i went over to the food aisles because i needed yogurt, cheese and lean cuisine (gross)
4. finally made it over to electronics where i picked up 2 cheap pairs of headphones. using the first one now. not impressed. and the mission continues...
so yeah, $98 later, i was on my way.
nice.
