So, let me preface this by saying I had ridiculously amazing amounts of fun tonight with my sassy scrapper friends. However, THAT is not the reason for the post title.

We pulled into the parking lot of a shopping center about to invade a Subway for dinner when we noticed the car next to us (a beat up old Nissan Altima) had a hanging decal on the rearview mirror that read “I Love Lesbians.”

Brenda, who was driving, took one look at it and said, “Maybe we shouldn’t park next to this car.” We laughed as she pulled out and into one a few spaces away.

Further laughter ensued when we saw a guy (ratty-looking with a bulging gut and long hair that needed to be washed) came out of the Subway, keys in hand, and started making his way in the direction of the parking lot.

One of the girls in the car, probably Lisa, said, “It HAS to be his.” So we wait there for a few seconds, trying to discreetly observe him as he was heading in the direction of his car which turned out to be… the I LOVE LESBIANS car! At that moment, we all busted out into raucous laughter that I really had to look away to make it seem like we were laughing at something else. Had we not just spent 6 hours hopping from scrapbook store to scrapbook store in 100-degree Texas weather it probably would have only been remotely amusing, but by then I think exhaustion had started to set in and we could not stop laughing so hard our makeup was running.

So that’s the “I Love Lesbians” story.

Today has been an amazingly fun day. I don’t think I’ve laughed so much in a long time. And it wasn’t just the “I Love Lesbians” thing, it was cramming into the back seat of Brenda’s truck squashed up next to Mindi and Jenn (Mindi and I have nothing to hide from each other now). It was counting the number of cowboy hats we saw so Mindi could add it to her list. It was learning that a medium dipped cone from Dairy Queen really isn’t medium at all–it’s quite large actually. It was talking about life and relationships (or lack thereof) over pizza, ice cream, Stickles, and chip board. It was bestowing Brenda with the new message board title, “I Shoot To Kill,” due to her avid support for gun licenses and knowing how to use one.

It was everything about today.
