Pre-roadtrip: Starting off on the right foot

We figured we would be smart about our 9-hour Thanksgiving road trip to Michelle's house by getting lots of sleep the night before. This plan was thwarted, however, with what we thought would be a short trip to CVS for foundation, eyeliner and (Gail's family size bag of) Cheetos. The majority of our time was spent in the men's deodorant section where we agonized over the best masculine scent, soon awarding it to Old Spice's Aqua Reef, followed closely by Arctic Force. Our search for the most manly musk was interrupted by a cellular phone call from our good friend Bethany, who begged us to stow her stranded friends in our backseat and hand them off Pony Express-style to their parents in NorCal. We agreed to the good deed and returned home where our housemates, Claire and Jessica, challenged us with "Miss Fullerton" pageant questions. We dazzled them with brilliant, spontaneous answers to deep questions like, "What would you do if your best friend was flirting with your boyfriend?" and "How do you feel about smokers' rights?"

We retired to bed at the bewitching hour with the prospect of only 4 hours of sleep. OK, not smart, but we had fun, ya know?
