I actually thought she had trees!
This weekend was absolutely lovely. I know I haven’t written properly since Tuesday, but I’m pretty sure nothing has happened in those few days that I don’t remember.
On Saturday we had to do laundry *groan* and it was a very hot day *double groan* so that made going to the laundromat even more fun than normal. Well, that combined with the fact that I didn’t eat anything before we left (wasn’t very hungry, and was too hot to even think about eating yogurt) so there was the fun of me having to sit down before my body forced me to. I’ve always known what that feeling meant, I just used to ignore it. I know better than that, especially seeing as I am the one in charge of getting us places, it would be really stupid if I just fainted or such.
Yes… so… after the clothes were clean, we went to the mall seeing as we were pretty much next door to the mall. Had tasty Subway for lunch (which has become somewhat of a after-laundering tradition. Like how getting yummy fruit smoothies is our before-international-flight tradition) and looked around for a case for my GPS. Of course, nowhere had one that was the right size. They were all for the tiny tiny ones. But we got food, and a tasty beverage afterwards (mmm… caramel frappadude…) so it was a trip worth while.
In the evening we watched One Hour Photo and Blast From The Past, two movies we hadn’t seen in a very long time. I’m not sure if Jake had actually seen either of them. Blast From The Past is one of my favourite movies, so I know it pretty well. My DVD of it is stupid and missing very many scenes (well, not totally missing, they are listed as deleted scenes, but I know I’ve seen the movie many times with them actually IN the movie so it bugs me) so I kept pausing it and telling Jake what should have been there.
Sunday we did nothing, but there was nothing to do, so that was lovely.
Very early this morning one of the waitresses downstairs, Stacey, got in a car accident and died. So that made today suck.
Title: At the laundromat, I overheard a lady on the phone talking about how she had peach trees and plum trees and fig trees and such… it wasn’t until she said "and then I fertilized my friend’s crops" that I realised she was talking about Farmville. I was impressed that someone had a garden of tasty for a minute there.

Man..that does sound like a garden of tasty.

Blast from the Past on DVD is pretty weirdly screwed up. Don’t they cut out the bit where they go into the adult video store and start stamping on the floor to find out where the shelter is? And many other amusing bits…

What did I have when you had your caramel frappadude? I should know so I can buy one for myself. Yummy fruit trees. Summer fruits are pretty much the only thing that makes summer bearable. (I’m sure I could think of some other things if I tried.) Funny that you described the person as a lady (which made me think quite old for some reason) playing Farmville. *giant hugs*

gosh sez, that’s awful. I truly hope you and Jake are okay. Did you know her well (not that it makes a difference if you didn’t) – thinking of you two.

I actually work with one of my Frontierville friends and it is not unusual to hear us yell (she is downstairs, I am upstairs on a balcony) back and forth about ‘leave my trees alone’ or ‘please feed my ox’.
