Chowing With Chums and Mundane Money-Spending

********THIS RESTAURANT IS NOW CLOSED.********

A bunch of us went to Ciudad today to meet our former co-worker B-Dawg for lunch. Our former co-worker Mansmell came, too. Fun!

B-Dawg is so beloved by all. What started as a handful of peeps quickly blossomed to a group of 11. And what's not to love? Funny, smart, and always willing to help a friend or even a stranger -- that's our B-Dawg. We all really miss him.

Lunch was delightful and filled with laughter. The food was reliable, as usual, but it was really the company that was outstanding. My awesome co-workers are goofy, comfortable in their manhood, and often too fast to catch with an iPhone. (The smiling blur is B-Dawg.)



The rest of my work day was fairly uneventful. I finished a draft of a motion to compel, and I left work around 6:30ish again. I love "normal" days!

Since I was able to leave so early, the Monkeys decided to go to Costco. Going to Costco is always an adventure. Mr. Monkey got the weirdest assortment of things. This always happens when we go to Costco.




Mind you, we did buy a good number of ordinary items, too. But here are some things we did not buy....

The ultimate arcade. Some day. Some day! I rock at Centipede.

A child's drum set -- the perfect gift for the kid of someone you hate!

A foosball table. This is going in our imaginary future game room, too.

Pills that make you skinny by giving you the shits when you eat fat!

And that was my day. To the few of you who seem to think I lead an exciting life, I think today's post just proved you wrong. Ha!

    I heart Costco. I love buying big packs of Post-its. And big packs of candy. I have an unhealthy obsession with both.

    i'm just confused at what you do with all the weird costco food purchases. does mr. monkey actually make it through all the stuff? 'cuz i know jim bought a 24 pack of frozen burritos maybe 12 months ago and we're still not through them yet. :|

    but you show us pretty pictures of your "boring life" - pictures always make everything so much better.

    I need to get my little hands on one of those iphones, pronto.
