| Stephanie: |
i gave my mom that vegas trip i won. so she, alan, margie, and liz are all going in may. i think i may book a room for myself and surprise them.
|
| Adam: |
what vegas trip you won?
|
| Stephanie: |
gah. at my work holiday party, i won a trip for two to vegas for two nights at caesar's and two tix to shania twain. i told you this.
|
| Adam: |
no you didn't.
|
| Stephanie: |
you just don't listen to me.
|
| Adam: |
what did you have to do to win it?
|
| Stephanie: |
i didn't do anything to win. just work here.
|
| Adam: |
that sounds like a terrible contest.
|
| Stephanie: |
everyone wins something at the holiday party.
|
| Adam: |
fucking hippies.
|
| Stephanie: |
this one guy won a diamond watch and is a huge shania twain fan and wanted to trade. i felt pressured. he was all "i have no one to give this watch to! do you even like shania twain?"
|
| Adam: |
you could've taken the watch and hocked it.
|
| Stephanie: |
but i know liz and margie love shania.
|
| Adam: |
did it annoy you when colin suggested we should get married? like do you feel insulted that we'd be seen as a viable match?
|
| Stephanie: |
it doesn't annoy me, it just... people have no idea. hey, guess what? i just got accepted for that 8 week writing course!
|
| Adam: |
but i mean, it doesn't annoy you on a "i can't believe they think i'd be with that loser" level?
|
| Stephanie: |
nah, everyone knows i date down.
|
| Adam: |
right.
|
| Stephanie: |
no it doesn't annoy me like that, don't be silly. it's just... people have no idea what we've been through. god, poquito más sounds so good right now.
|
| Adam: |
you missed out. though the chix burrit did not sit well.
|
| Stephanie: |
ew, did you leave the "o" off burrito on purpose?
|
| Adam: |
yep. pronounced "burreet."
|
| Stephanie: |
reason #72 why i would never be with you. also, be less supportive and surprised about the writing course.
|
| Adam: |
i think it's fantastic.
|
| Stephanie: |
just got a confirmation email and they already sent my first task! ugh. i hate this class.
|
| Adam: |
is week 2 "how to stop blowing off adam when he tries to set up a writing session?"
|
| Stephanie: |
be positive. i'm trying.
|
| Adam: |
i genuinely think it's great.
|
| Stephanie: |
oh, it's just a reading assignment before the first class. good. i don't want to have to write or share anything.
|
| Adam: |
oh, jesus.
|
| Stephanie: |
yet!
|
| Adam: |
ok, good. because taking a writing course but not wanting to write could prove problematic.
|
| Stephanie: |
baby steps.
|
| Adam: |
have you ever seen a baby walk? they practically lurch.
|
| Stephanie: |
by the way, if you ever need an allergist, the one i just saw was great. shapiro on riverside.
|
| Adam: |
that's also the name of the store where i buy my yarmulkes. what were your results?
|
| Stephanie: |
no clam allergy. he thinks i had a "bad batch."
|
| Adam: |
i bet you'll avoid them now anyway.
|
| Stephanie: |
the allergy dr. asked me so many questions, i felt like i was on the witness stand. at one point i said i have dry and watery eyes. he was like, "dry AND watery?"
|
| Adam: |
hilarious.
|
| Stephanie: |
i wish oranges came peeled.
|
| Adam: |
that might be the laziest thing i've ever heard.
|
| Stephanie: |
it's hard. i never had to do it until this last year.
|
| Adam: |
why last year?
|
| Stephanie: |
that's when i really started eating them. without help.
|
| Adam: |
and who was your official peeler before last year?
|
| Stephanie: |
the receptionist at my old job.
|
| Adam: |
just your oranges or all fruit? did she peel grapes for you too?
|
| Stephanie: |
don't be dumb.
|
| Adam: |
yeah. you didn't peel your own oranges until your late 30s, and i'm the dumb one.
|
| Stephanie: |
mid 30s.
|
| Adam: |
if you say so. |
