merely talk

Anna and I headed to Boston Pizza last night, to partake in some cheesy goodness. And good it was. Our waiter was hella cute and my three cheese and sundried tomato pizza was orgasmic. Anna also got the best dessert ever. Called the chocolate explosion. It was chocolate cake, with pieces of cheese cake embedded within. I was way too stuffed to eat any, but she said it was heaven.

After dinner we headed over to Toys R'Us. In my rush to pack when moving to Vancouver I forgot to bring a deck of cards. Over dinner we both decided we wanted to play some Gin Rummy, so a quest was born.

Toys R'Us is one of the most distracting stores ever. We went wondering down the Barbie aisle because we both remembered as being a long hallway of pink filled with every Barbie and every accessory a girl could ever want. I still sometimes dream of that place and the joys it contained.

Sadly reliving your childhoods most sacred of areas is often a disappointment. We found that the Barbie aisle through our (somewhat) adult eyes to be lacking. There wasn't nearly enough pink for starters. And these new "My Scene" Barbies with their grotesquely large eyes and oh so hip names are downright frightening. We soon retreated to the rest of the store rather than face what had become of our childhood friend. (Even though one of the my scene Barbies had her very own club...with a disco ball and everything...I think my Barbies would have had a great time there. Of course with the little stage that comes with the bar would most likely have been used for one of my Barbies to strip. But whatever. It still would have been awesome.)

We ended up in the book section after we gave all the talking stuffed animals a squeeze. I picked up a copy of "Love you Forever". And then proceeded to have a quiet cry because of that loving mother and son. I know in my head it's a little creepy and everything ( I mean she drives to his house in the middle of the night with a ladder, just do she can climb through his window and sing to him) but the sentiment is not. And I love it anyway.

Anna found this really cool book that had all these answers to questions. While I read through it I learned the source of April Fools Day, Why Canadian and American's celebrate Thanksgiving at different times, and if the tongue is the strongest muscle in the body. Very informative. And Awesome. It was so cool, Anna had to buy it. So we headed to the check out which is where I found a deck of cards. So our quest was complete.
