In This Latest Editon of "Adventures in the Big Smoke"
We bring to you the scary, the stand-your-hair-on-end, the bizarre, the send-you-hiding-under-your-bed revelations of:
* How I attacked an old lady with a loaf of bread.
* How I got a $1 dollar ice cream (with waffle cone!).
* How I was a passenger in a car driven by a Bug-Eyed Meanie Monster.
* How I tried on, chose, and bought my FIRST set of makeup in under 1/2 an hour.
* How I drank a frozen mango yoghurt smoothie straight out of the blender
* And how tonight I'm off with four other members of my darling family to go see ROTK for the second time.

The incident with the old lady and the loaf of bread--in my belief--actually made her day. It was one of those "whoops" situations. Tach had sent me off in search of a loaf of bread, and after idly debating between the whole-grain (Tach's favourite) and the wholemeal (my favourite), I flicked the whomemeal loaf off the shelf with what was probably more energy than needed. The naughty little loaf then went flying around my side and went "smack!" into the head of this really short old lady who had unwittingly managed to stand right to the side and a little behind me. "I'm so sorry!" I'm babbling, whilst this lady actually stood there laughing and patting me on the shoulder with a, "I'm fine." Which, though I was walking down and out that aisle as quickly as possible, made me feel better. Looking back from the end of the aisle, I saw she still had an amused smile on her face--left me wondering if I should attack little old ladies with loaves of bread more often.The $1 dollar ice cream is all tied in with the free ice cream I told you Baskin 'n' Robbins was going to be giving out last night. As it turns out, it actually ment that if you put in a gold coin to this organization that helped kids, they'd give you an ice cream. So, in went my one dollar and they handed me the most delicious berry swirled scoop of ice-cream with chips of chocolate in it. It was soooooo good. The perfect ending to our quick late-night on the shops. Which, where I actually got this cool $10 buck shirt! It's this chocolate kind of red with 3/4 sleeves, a widish neckline, and this white design with Kensington University written around it. Tach fell in love with it too, and seeings as it's not like we're living in the same place together anymore, she bought one too. One size larger of course. We have a pair of pants that we did that, also. These beautiful brown moleskins. She's got a size 12 (as far as I know, your American sizes are different to our Aussie ones. A 12 for us is average whilst I believe it's kind of on the stocky side for you), I bought the size smaller.
Now the bug-eyed meanie monster....*giggles* the guy Tach married, Matt, is one of those extroidinary people who can do the most varied range of accents and voices. One of them is this character he made up for a story he once wrote when he was 17. They're the bad guys, The Bug-Eyed Meanie Monsters who are the wildest drivers this side of Mars (in the story they kid-nap the main character and end up terrorizing drivers on the free-way...). If you've ever seen Lilo & Stitch, the Bug-Eyed Meanie Monsters sound just like Stitch. That cute, high-pitched "hsss...we goes faster we do. Fast! Fast! FASSSST!" Well, what happened Matt was driving the car with all of us home from our shopping/ice-cream eating spree last night when somehow we got him playing the role of the Bug-Eyed Meanie Monsters. You can imagine that at that time of night we were all so tired we just about killed ourselves laughing.
Then way, way late last night after my shower I started to get hankerings for a smoothie. With just frozen mango yoghurt, milk, and a banana I ended up with the most delicious frothy, thick smoothie. The first 2 cups I just ate out of a cup with a big desert spoon (for some reason I love this method...makes more mouthfulls ;-), then the last half cup or so I was like, "man, why not just drink it straight out of the blender?" They have the spout and all....try it sometime, it's hygenic (if you're the only one in the kitchen) and gives you a thrill of having "stepped out of the box" he..he..

Today, after all of use had slept in, and manged to pull ourselve into some resemblance of order, we jumped on the next train and headed into town. My main goal was to visit The Body Shop. I'd begun thinking lately that maybe it was time to start dabbling in make-up. The looming sweet 16 of my next birthday started me thinking...lol Anyhow, The Body Shop is a great place, and they give you a free try of anything you want. So, with the help of this great girl, we fiddled with a few different colours in the foundations, blush, and lip gloss, and in no time we found the perfect colours. So pretty! I love 'em. They're subtle enough that I don't feel like I'm blaring out "I'm wearing make-up", yet they give me just the colour I need. I kept getting "oh, you look so pretty, now!" so I take it, it's all good ;)Anyhow, my free hour is like one minute off of being up, so I better run. We're off to eat and then go out for a late-night showing of ROTK. Can't wait!
Sonrisa! :)
