FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

So today was the last day of my temp job. I tried to stretch it as long as I could. 3 days was the max I could stretch and still be an ethical person. It worked out perfect--I hope they call me again to do it. After work, I went to the Grand Avenue Mall downtown since I had time to burn before I met Janice and Tina for dinner at La Fuente. I went to Old Navy and got tons of stuff. Shorts, shirts, perfect summer stuff. Got a pair of shoes. Shopping makes me happy! And get this!!! I'm walking through the food court, and what do I happen to see???? A PANDA EXPRESS!!! Are you kidding me?? Have you been there this whole time, my beloved Orange Chicken?? Unbelieveable. Almost 2 years, and you've been 10 miles away from me. And here I was making the trek all the way to the Illinois Oasis for it. So HOORAY!! Happy day!

Anyway, I head to La Fuente and I sit in the bar waiting for my friends. 10 minutes. 20. 30.....Uh...it was today, right? I don't have their cell numbers, so I call home and have Derrick check my email. Tina emailed and cancelled b/c she's sick. Nice. I got stood up! Sorta. But, hey, I figure, Panda Express!! So back I go, only to find that they are OUT of orange chicken, and closing soon so no more will be made. Eating is just not in my cards today.

2 days till my vacation starts!!! I'm so excited I could just pee myself....

That is HILARIOUS. Chad and I were "Orange Chicken" deprived too, and guess what? When we moved here we found out there's a Panda Express less than a half mile from our house!
*sigh* I love Denver.

ps- their Beef & Broccoli ain't bad, either.
