wow…lots of questions and thoughts of your own.  here are some responses in order of appearance.

*i don’t like the straws, b/c you can’t chew on them.  they kind of taste bad.  they are paper and not very durable…a bit flaky.  they have to be replaced in your drink after a long period of time.  and i keep drinks for hours, so that doesn’t work well for me.

*one of my high school friends that lives down in foley is having a baby tomorrow…so no, you don’t know her tracie.

*that’s great about tom…who is his fiance?

*yes, ashley…ted’s montana grill!  i went there b/c i loved eating at the restaurant so much.  that’s so funny that you guys love it!!

*glad to hear someone else (especially a married couple) has the same issues with toilet-paper-buying-procrastination.

*bad news about the salmon - i had it all ready with my romaine lettuce and my individually sealed salmon filet.  around lunchtime i started thinking about how i was going to get one of the cooks to season it and cook it on a cedar plank…when i realized i left the stupid thing IN MY CAR!  all day long on a hot day.  so i had subway for lunch instead.  nice!  (oh…and a no-sugar-added strawberry milkshake from maggie moo’s.)

*yes, i am going to the beach on saturday and coming back on tuesday.  i will be staying 2 of those nights by myself.  mainly b/c i want to get a feel for how it would be by myself if i moved down there and lived at the house.  so we’ll see!

*no, i am not going to mat kearney.  i didn’t even send a message for it, b/c i would have had to take off work 2 days in a row and i’d rather have the money in order to go the beach.  so don’t be jealous!!

wow, this is long.  hope you all have a lovely day!
