And the debate rages on…
Overworked, jaded, and a little tired one mildly warm night, Joy and I decided to exploit the closeness that is Barnes and Noble in Keirland Shopping center. While Joy poked at some design magazines, I went on the hunt for this month’s “Mens Health” magazine. I figured it would be a good start to finding out anything to help my workouts that I have resumed. When I could not find the magazine, I asked Joy if she’s seen it. She starts asking me why I’m looking for a “metrosexual” magazine :p. Ignoring that comment slightly, I found my magazine. Further into the visit, we got a couple of books. I got the A+, Net+, and Security+ book from O’Rielly and Joy picked up Stardust. We made our way to the Starbucks inside with our books to bring back to the apartment.
“Go ahead and order. I don’t know what I want.”
Joy orders then asks, “What are you in the mood for?”
I looked at the coffee-less fraps and I could not decide between the double chocolate, the Orange Crème, and the Strawberries & Crème. I told Joy what I was trying to figure out and the clerk piped in.
“We can mix 2 if you want.”
“Well, babe, I’ve had the orange and chocolate blended in Vancouver and it su…” She doesn’t get the word out before I go for the order. Her drink had long been prepared before I made my choice. She grunted and moved to the side for the next customers. I got my drink a few moments later, stuck my straw in it and exclaimed, “Oh my GOD!” I offered some to Joy whose eyes now bugged.
“That’s awesome! The vancouver one is nasty, I’m surprised!”
“Well, that’s because America rocks dear.”
I get the glare and daggers from Joy, but what made it all the more memorable was that at the end of the bar where all the condiments are, there was a guy who let out the most baritone laugh I’ve heard in a long time. I had a good smirk the rest of the night, along with a reddened arm from the slapping I recieved. The redness was worth it, in my opinion.
