"Celebrity" sighting

We were at the giant mall today, buying the most comfortable furniture I have ever sat on for our new apartment, when I saw that something was going on at the center of the mall. The last time we were at the mall, when we picked out our wedding bands, we were subjected to the constant and annoying singing of guys dressed like carpenters singing the Sears father's day sale jingle that was sung to Christmas music.

This time, MTV was in town, doing a promotional tour and auditioning people to get a VIP pass to the 2006 VMAs. I saw a sign that said "featuring MTV celebrities." I got a twinge of excitement. Who would it be? I hoped it would be LC from "The Hills" (and "Laguna Beach") or maybe some of the kids from "8th and Ocean." It was not that good. It was former Road Rulers and perennial challenge contestants Rachel and Veronica. It was mildly interesting to see Veronica, just because I feel like I have known her forever...because she was first on Road Rules seven years ago. It is amazing how they can stretch their fifteen minutes so long.

Below is our new furniture, only we ordered it in chocolate brown. It should arrive at our new place shortly after our move. In the meantime, we are trying to figure out how to erect a giant bubble around it to prevent Mr. Kitty from scratching it.
