So soon?

So I was doing a little cursory research on Richard the Lionheart for my Poli Sci paper, and I learned the following:

"Richard spent 33 years in purgatory as expiation for his sins, eventually ascending to heaven in March 1232."

Good on you Richard. I'm glad you finally made it.

We were doing an extremely hard puzzle with Jeff's family, and we were frustrated. Jeff's youngest sister who is pretty much the brightest, wittiest 14 year old I know, being a master of difficult sudokus, and has read any book you can name, hadn't joined in yet. She finally broke down and said, "Well, maybe I'm a puzzle genius." and sat down and started to help us out.

I think Rosie has a pretty good philosophy. You never know if you are a genius at something until you try it. Have you discovered if there is a puzzle genius inside you?

The Wonderful Land of Oz

Oz is Australia. Did you know? Craziness. Anyway, my friend Christy has been staying at my house for the last two weeks and it has been fun. It's like being in college again. Late night runs for food that is unhealthy, staying up past our bedtimes, watching silly tv shows. Tres marvy and fab.

So we went to Taco Bell the other day. This marks the 2nd time Christy has experienced Taco Bell. The first time she got a double decker taco (which is always a good idea) and a burrito. At that time I had to explain to her what a burrito was. Awesome. This time, she looked at the menu and asked for the taco thing she got last time. Then she paused and said, "What's a burrito again?"

This caused me to laugh a lot. It was an honest question, but so funny in terms of having grown up in America and being very familiar with what a burrito is.

Crap! Where's My Pea?

I just returned from an amazing adventure in Virginia! I met a ton of really cool people and got to see lots of amazing sites in Washington DC. While out to ice cream one night, Darren Jackson was telling stories about his 14 year old brother who is fittingly named Brenton. He is basically a heart throb and all the girls scream when he even enters a room. If I were younger I would want to marry him!!! At dinner on Sunday Brenton was eating and out of the blue yelled: Crap! Where's my pea?
I thought it was hilarious!

PS Miri and Megan-remember "Blind Date Billy" yep the very same Darren Jackson:)
