Tanzania, back pain, a key, and GNC

My friend CM is on a humanitarian mission to help women diagnosed with AIDS in Africa to write their last will and testament. He's a first year law student and I am living vicariously through his blogs. He has posted some photos and has spent some time describing his experiences. I am looking for the blog about him finally eating mystery meat on a stick in some back alley restaurant. Soon, CM, soon. Tuk tuk!

I went to bed with a stiff lower back. This is a common occurrence and not something that typically slows me down too much. I stretched as usual but today it wasn't going to loosen up no matter what I tried. I was sitting at my desk shifting in my seat trying to find a comfy position and leaned forward too fast. OUCH! Yup, blew my back out for real. Thanks, Bruce for making me walk out some of the tension. It helped some but I still hurt like hell. The highlight was getting to ride in Bruce's new car today. Cadillac STS in a gorgeous metallic red with black leather interior. Driving it to Miami Subs in Ft. Lauderdale for lunch was the first time he ever drove the car! He purchased the car through a broker and all he had to do was pick the car...the broker did everything else including delivering it to work this morning all buffed and shiny.

My birthday passed a week ago. I spent the evening out with my girlfriend's at the casino. We had a good time having drinks and bar hopping. I met the "most interesting man in the world" and even got my picture made with him. I don't think he was expecting me, all large and in charge, to stroll up and introduce myself then ask to have my picture taken with him. He was on a date so it she probably had fun with the situation afterward. So, a couple of my girls got me an Amazon gift card. I was so excited and thought, "Oh the books I can by for my Kindle on iPad!" Then it hit me...I have been shopping for one of those key charms and seriously contemplated a $300 Tiffany. Psssh. I found one much prettier on Amazon. And even got a chain to go with it for the amount of the gift card. It arrived today. Thank you Petal and Lulu!!! It's absolutely me!

I ran out of my protein shake mix this morning so I went to GNC after work to pick some up. Just as I pulled up the boy running the store left and locked up to go get some dinner I guess. He opted for Panera Bread when there was some bangin' shawarma next door at the Falafel Gourmet. Poor choice buddy. I had a few things I needed to get at Target (the best store ever) so opted to go there while I waited for poor food choice boy to come back to his store. I bought a toothbrush, toothpaste, root lifter-buy one get free, a scarf belt, peanut butter, and protein powder. Bruce drinks EAS brand, the one in the purple jug. It was half the price of the stuff I buy at GNC so thought what the hec. Doesn't hurt to try and I hope GNC boy enjoyed his lame meal from Panera. Don't you know shawarma is Avenger approved?
