my amazing thursday.

dear thursday,


holy crow, you were awesome today. usually i'm not a fan of you what with you being not friday and all, but you really came through this time. and now you've left me thinking, "friday who?" it all started at the first of you, thursday, in the morning when i went to cvs to get an evian, and i randomly found the rolling stone with the jonas brothers on the cover. thursday, you know i have been looking for that magazine, but due to the popularity of the jo bros, i have been unable to find a copy of it anywhere. so how excited was i when i found a random copy in a random isle at a drugstore?! good work, thursday, good work.

needless to say, i was one happy child to have the jonas brothers in my tiny little hands. you got a little crazy in the middle there, thursday. i mean, i had four hair appointments, all with little children who start school next week, and i had to take connor on a tour of mountain view's campus to map out a route for all of his classes. and come on, thurs (may i call you thurs?) it got a little hot in the middle of the day. and really, walking around my former high school campus in 110 degree weather is not exactly how i'd like to spend my afternoon "off". (can you blame me?) and then d.w. and i went to nordy's to find nichole's unborn twins a shower gift. and find them one, we did, thursday. the shirts i picked out were particularly good looking. i'm pretty excited about that. and remember that sale at the gap, thurs? where i found those adorable dresses for erika and noelle? i was feeling pretty good by then. little did i know that you had something even better for me. here's where it gets crazy, thursday. i am in the INFANT section of nordstrom's, you know, not because i am looking for an infant but because i am shopping for a gift for an infant (just wanted to clear that up, didn't want anyone to think i was an infant bargain hunter), and i see a set up of cds. most of them are kids' tunes i.e. sesame street, or baby lullabies, there is even a miley cyrus cd, which i thought was a bit tacky for the infant section, thursday. but then, out of the corner of my eyebills, i see... and you'll never beilieve this, thursday, because even i had to rub my eyes and do a double take, but i saw the new, yet-to-be-released JONAS BROTHERS C.D. ok, i know what you're thinking, b/c i thought the same thing, too. it must be a mistake. but guess what... it wasn't. nordstrom's actually MADE A MISTAKE and put their shipment of the cd, titled "A LITTLE BIT LONGER" out a week early! their bad, but my good, because i snagged one of them real speedy quick before anyone could realize the serious error on nordy's part. the crazy thing is, just that morning i had gone to the jonas brothers' web site to try and pre-order the cd, but i was unable to because i missed the cutoff by ONE DAY. you had to pre-order your cd by august 6th in order to get it by august 12th. here is the photo of the cd at nordy's... right next to elmo sings the blues or some madness like that.
thursday, i was so excited!!!! i really was feeling like i was stealing or something on account of the fact that this wasn't supposed to be out for another five days! i couldn't even believe that i found it, and in the infant section no less. how lucky could one girl be?! well... i went to the disney store on my way out of the mall and they had these posters there that they were giving out to promote the release of the jo bros cd. and i grabbed one, and look at what it said on the bottom. i took a picture of it especially because i thought it was so funny, thursday. and partly because i thought i was so clever, finding the cd early and all.
you see that, thursday?! right there at the bottom it says "IN STORES 8/12/08" and i, by some magical miracle, got mine early!! what a lucky lady i am!! i couldn't stop smiling, really. and it sounds silly, but this made me so super happy, happier than anything has made me in a while. while i was at the disney store, guess what? i begged and pleaded with d.w. to please please pre-order camp rock so that we could get the free school folders that came with it. and she did! finally!! and she also bought me a tap dancing wall-e to keep on my nightstand. she bought me the wall-e toy b/c she knows how much i love wall-e and she also knows how similar wall-e and i are, what with our love of musicals, and love of collecting things, and the way we both have binocular eyes. we are two of a kind, wall-e and i.
here is the final picture, thurs, and the best one of all... ME with my official early copy of the JONAS BROTHERS cd "A LITTLE BIT LONGER". and i love it, thursday, i really do.

i didn't include my face because i took that picture after i got home from target, where i got caught (quite literally) in a rain storm. so i was soaked clear through my dress. it was a mess, thursday. oh, and one more thing... remember how last night when i was laying in bed and almost almost asleep? well it was almost friday at that point because it was so late but you managed to throw one more surprise in there before you were over, and it was pretty great. it's something that sunday, monday, tuesday, AND wednesday weren't capable of doing. i got a text message from michael. that was a nice touch, thursday. well played. see you next week.

love, gabrielle.
