I wish that I was off on Fridays too so I could hang out with Brian. It’s not too bad, though, because Brian takes me to work and picks me up. There’s nothing like curb-side service! Anyway, we went to the mall after work because I need some 8-lb dumbells to complete my set. I now have 3, 5, 8 and 10-lb dumbells for my Firm workouts.<\/p>\n

While we were there we had our rings cleaned at Zales<\/font><\/a> and roamed around for a little bit. Gadzooks<\/font><\/a> had this humongous clearance on their men’s items. They’re going all girl as of July 7th. Brian took advantage and got yet another derogatory t-shirt. It has a winged emblem on it which says “U.R.A. idiot” and then underneath it this statement that goes, “if idiots were airplanes this would be a freaking airport” and at $10.90 it was a steal!<\/p>\n

\" We browsed several stores until we found ourselves at Abercrombie & Fitch<\/font><\/a>. Brian said that he’d been thinking about buying me the belt that I’ve been eyeing (more like drooling over) ever since I got the summer A&F Quarterly catalog in the mail a month ago.<\/p>\n

I remember laying in bed one night, browsing the enticing pages of the catalog, showing it to him, and telling him how much I wanted it. He said that maybe the “belt-fairy” would get it for me. I was hopeful but I didn’t think that he was serious. I mean, $39.50 for just a belt is a bit much. Specially now that I’m on a poverty strike (or what seems like it, anyway). I told him not to get it at first because it was more of a “want” than a “need” and we have no room for “wants” right now. I told him it was impractical. He insisted on buying it for me anyway. After walking around the store and mulling over it for almost half an hour, I finally gave in.<\/p>\n

Not that Brian isn’t a generous person in general but I think there were other motivational factors involved.<\/p>\n

[a] He still can’t believe that I got him the Dell Axim X5<\/font><\/a> that he has been whining about for several months now as an advanced birthday present. I think he is still so giddy over it that he feels compelled to do something special for me in return.<\/p>\n

[b] He feels like he has to compesate for the strand of long, blonde hair that I found on his shirt while we were driving to work this morning. Even though it was innocent (as in, we have no explanation for how it got there) guys just have this subconscious need to do something nice for you after an encounter like that. It doesn’t matter if they are really cheating on your or not. Guilty or not guilty, they feel the need to pacify you (perhaps as a preventive measure). I’m sure if he were guilty he’d probably buy me something bigger like Canon Powershot G3<\/font><\/a> or something.. but he’s not, so all I get is a belt. LOL!<\/p>\n

[c] He’s just a sweet, wonderful guy. The best husband that a girl could ever hope to have. And you ask me, I think it would be [c] all the way! I was just joking about the other two (although I really did get him the PDA for his birthday and I really did find a strand of blonde hair stuck to his shirt).<\/p>\n

Anyway, after spending almost two hours at the mall we went to Hanna Cafe for dinner. I just had California maki (it’s all that my diet will allow for that late in the evening) while Brian had some teriyaki chicken. How adventurous, huh? He did try some of my sushi and I think it’s growing on him. So that’s a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n

After dinner we went to Wal-Mart<\/font><\/a> to pick up some cat litter. As we were roaming around we ran into Kenisha and her son Bryson. I let Bryson play with the camera and he ended up taking a whole bunch of pictures. Most of the pictures from Wal-Mart<\/font><\/a> above were taken by him. They may be out of frame but you can already tell that he’s got a lot of potential. LOL! Anyway, Brian and I just went home right after and now here I am blogging and sharing a photo log of my day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
