In that case, we like to go out to sushi and talk about really messed up stuff and hope the wait staff doesn't get offended and kick us out. Not on purpose.

Blockbusters and a homemade meal in my pj's is the best. If we have to go out and I get dolled up I would want a gift card to Sticky Rice in DC. Everytime J.'s like where should we go for dinner I'm like "Sticky Rice". I "straighten up" weekly and deep clean every other week. I'm lazy and ok with that.Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085591395577400633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6441321654725706224.post-49730245422403942752011-01-08T16:27:22.071-07:002011-01-08T16:27:22.071-07:00Your photos are always so good--they tell a story!...Your photos are always so good--they tell a story!!

I enjoy going out to dinner too.<br /><br />I used to clean a lot more before I got my part-time job. Now working 48+ hours per week I don't find as much time to do it, especially when I have paperwork and running to do.<br /><br />I'd love a giftcard to ... ANYWHERE!

Oh, and a TON on groceries! <br /><br />In college I would go to Borders (we didn't have B&N) and read, read, read so I never had to buy. :) How did you like Portia's bio? I read it a fews ago. It brought back a lot of dark memories for me, but THANK GOD she wrote an epilogue full of happy thoughts to leave you on your way. <br /><br />"I think I might need to clean" bahahaha. I always try to take photos against a wall so you can't see my messes.
