Fun Facts:

-On Sunday I have to give a talk AND teach a combined Relief Society lesson. Woo.

-Mom and Dad will be here tomorrow night

-I checked out a lot of ridiculous reading material this afternoon, so that is cool

-my roommates and I just had a binge night of pizza and ice cream and watching P.S. I Love You, which I kind of liked and kind of hated, mostly because it pisses me off that fake Hilary Swank character walks for like 2 miles on some country road in the UK and ends up MARRIED TO FAKE GERARD BUTLER CHARACTER, whilst I tramped along like 200 miles in the UK and only got blisters. Universe? I am awaiting your call, and your reparations check.

-Okay, fine, the 200 h-ing UK miles actually made me some of the best friends of my life, so I guess that counts for something. England friends, take note: You have big shoes to fill.

-So today I went on a quest to purchase some Appletiser for Thanksgiving libationary purposes. The Appletiser website said that they sell it at Good Earth in Provo and Orem, so Becca obligingly took me there. So we brave the unwashed granola smell, search high and low,
and finally ask a worker, and after all kinds of askings of people and meeting with blank stares we put together that actually the website is LYING, they do NOT stock Appletiser at ANY Good Earth location. The gruff manager guy called the Orem branch for us, and then offered to call aorund to other places and then let me know (I left my name and number) but then he never actually did call, so...I guess that's a no. And I guess life is not worth living anymore. Oh hey, I shoudl probably have earlier explained that Appletiser is a sparkling apple type beverage, not unlike Martinelli's (but inexplicably BETTER, but I mean I dunno, maybe it isn't, I GUESS NOW I WILL NEVER KNOW), that I used to get by the liter bottles at grocery stores in England and chug in vacant parks in between hunks of bread and spoonfuls of trifle and/or cheesecake. It's...it's kind of a big deal. I was pretty excited to get some. But um, sniff, I guess that's not going to happen. :,(

Better than Martinellis??? I really need to get a swig of it. Maybe we should see if they have it in the Bay area? I am counting the days until you get here......

Shoot dog. um...hey, you just let me know how I can fill those shoes...did you want them filled with sand? or water? or feet? or maybe appletizer? yeah. I'll work on that.
