Sometimes I wish...

windandwater... that I was a boy, so that I could blame my stupidity on testosterone.
As I'm typing this, I'm eating slightly cold Chinese food. You'll see why.
So, I went to bed last night (actually, early this morning), planning on getting up today to do grocery shopping. I need milk and fruit and my cinnamon raisin toast, and since Monday is a holiday, I didn't want to risk going out. Besides, I like to do my grocery shopping on Sundays, as I think that it will make food last longer.
Stop trying to analyze my logic.
But, considering that I went to bed extremely late because I was RP-ing, I didn't wake up until 11. Not bad, right? Wrong. My tired mind decided 11 was too early and I should sleep one more hour and that would be okay. What happened? I didn't wake up until one.
Damn faulty internal clock. *kicks*
I was laggy and cranky but got up, and didn't leave the house until about 2:30. I also did not eat very much. Not eating before going grocery shopping is bad, but I'm used to skipping breakfast, so I thought I would be okay.
Wrong.
I got lost.
I ended up driving around for almost 2 hours, getting consequtively lost on side streets and trying to find my way to either:
1) Westlake Plaza
or
2) Serramonte Plaza
At about 4, I got caught in some traffic, but finally, FINALLY ended up at Serramonte, which, thank the gods, has a MALL. Which means I now know where there's a B. Dalton's, Suncoast, Victoria's Secret, and Bath & Body Works. Also, a Panda Express. My hunger was getting to me so I bought jumbo chocolate chip cookies from Mrs. Field's to snack on (buy 2, get 1 free). However, I couldn't find the thrid volume of Demon Diary and Saiyuki and X haven't been released yet. Was tempted by Voices From A Distant Star, though.
I also bought chinese food (which I'm enjoying right now). My stomach staged a coup against my wallet, and so I ordered a three item combo (I usually only get 2), and one of those entrees is fried shrimp. I'm eating three different animals right now, and rice. I'm very happy.
Anyway, with my bearings and the chinese food piping warm in my front seat, I dashed off to Westlake, where I KNOW there's a Safeway. Got lost on the way there though, even though I had driven through the area earlier. I did my grocery shopping (yay, more food), and headed home.
So now, I'm home, my car is parked and doesn't have to be moved until Wednesday, my groceries are put away, and I'm very hungry.
If I have to step a foot out of my place tomorrow, it'll be to get struck by lightning.
... and speaking of lightning, is it so bad to wish that it would rain so that my car gets washed?
ITADAKIMASU!
