Let's see... hung out with Jef this evening as he was in need of some new clothes and a best friend opinion on what to get (not to mention a female opinion is always helpful for guys picking out clothes). We hit the mall and milled around a bit not really finding anything he liked (though I found several adorable baby-doll tees I want to go back for when I have some cash) until we came to the watch kiosk. There he found a really cool Fossil watch which looks just like this (except in the pic, the face doesn't look nearly as cobalt as it is in real life). Yes, my dear friend Jef, who thinks shoes are still wearable even when they lack soles and for whom "dressing up" means tucking in one's tee-shirt, bought a $65 designer-name watch. I was impressed. I think he's finally *sniff* all growing up. (No wait, strike that, he also wanted a Hamtaro plush from target today. *laughs*). It's really nice though and of course, I found one I totally wanted - a fire-breathing dragon pocket-watch. It comes in at a mere $75. *le sigh* (there I go browsing even further; they have women's styles online that they didn't at the kiosk and now I also really want this one as well. Crap.)

After blowing almost all his budget on the watch, added to the fact the mall was closing (well, it was 9pm), we headed to Target. There he found a pair of shoes ($19.99), a pair of jeans (on sale, $10) and a cool dragon design teeshirt in a really ugly orange color - he said he needed color, I said orange should be banned ($9.99). He was also nice enough to buy me some Orajel for my still very-painful gums as I lacked the extra $6 (Love's payday isn't until Friday, so we're on tight funds until then). Came in under budget, even with blowing $70 on the watch. Not too shabby.

Well, seeing as my Love is muttering "sleeepy" to me as an indicator I need to evacuate the bedroom (and specifically stop typing and turn off the damn light), I'll call it a nite.
