the milk and Honey Café.

We later on went to the Best Buy to get some things I just got a chrome book Acer chrome book Yeah yes it has a 32 gig hard drive I

got the two-year warranty. This is in case I spill coffee on it or drop it. If that happens for two years I can just bring it in and get a new one.

It has no windows programs so runs faster and much less likely to get viruses! I also got a new backpack since I thought I lost the other one. I really didn't lose it

but it's good to have a new backpack because the other one was just about to rip on one of the straps. I also got some pocket T-shirts and men's briefs which I really needed.

to listen to this mattress lose air every night making a SSsshhh.. sound! 

Drew then drove me back to my place on Sansom. I gave Dean the air mattress that I bought which was under 50 bucks which
