boobs.

B, A and I just went to Rising Roll for lunch. B gets really excited on Wednesdays - double punch day! once he eats 16 meals (or 8 on double punch days), he'll get a free sandwich. we pointed out to him this was kind of a lot and he conceded that collecting punches was probably more trouble than its worth. win some, lose some.

so there were some interesting people there...i only ate half my sandwich and needed a carryout container. i went up to the register and a woman was already up there waiting for her catering order. when she turned around to face me, i may have jumped. woman had a full-on bushy mustache. wow. however, i think the person who got the most attention was the attractive youngish girl who's boobs were hanging out the sides of her dress. she wasn't wearing a bra and you could see her nipple. i almost went up to her to say something, but i figured she had to know what she was doing.

i don't know if i'm jealous of those that can go braless and do or if i find the whole braless thing gross. all i know is that i don't go out of the house without a bra on and it wasn't up until recent years that i started sleeping without a bra on. my boobs are just too big and i am in no way bragging. i'd give them to you if they were detachable. if i could go without a bra i would. maybe. definitely not with that dress this girl was wearing though. ew.

so i had planned on going to walmart for lunch to pick up new earphones because my nice ass Phillips/Nike ones died. they aren't even a year old. i went to target earlier and tried to return them, though being an electronic and having no receipt, i was met with "call the consumer line"
so i did and 10 people later (no joke), i finally got someone to send me a new pair. i probably still have to get a pair to tide me over because i hate working out without music, but at least i know nicer new ones are on the way.

VIVA LA VIDA

i told R the other day that the latest coldplay album was just "okay", not "their best".
i take it back. i am really feeling it. its a good one to listen to on this gorgeous day!
