My roommate is pissed because I can't refi my house (appraised too low - not underwater, but not high enough for a no closing costs refi) and I have to sell.

BUT tonight is a very good friend's "Chicagonniversary, Fried Foods, and Power Ballad Dance Party" and I am going with the new guyfriend and it should be lots of fun. Gonna drink and eat fried foods until I forget about my troubles.

Trying to decide what to bring to fry. Oreos? Pickles? Both?
