It is always a fun thing to escape my little valley for the big city, and today was no exception. Before we departed Logan, Chelle and I stopped at a fantabulous bakery, “Sweetly Divine”, and picked up some goodies as gifts for Lin and Nan. Our assortment included one of these adorable chocolate mousse and sponge cake hedgehogs.
We ate a ton of heavenly sushi and the meal was great except that I forgot how to eat Endame (Steamed and salted Soy Beans) and told everyone that the pods were edible. That didn’t go over so well as they are about as chewable as tar. OOPS. Hey, I have only had them twice and it was a long time ago!
The conversation was good: Michelle finally unravled what Nancy does for a living. Let me explain. For years I thought she was a welder. It was so cool, and a great thing to add to conversation.
“That’s my sister, Linny, and her partner, Nancy. Nancy’s a welder.“
Awesome.
After about 8 years or so, I found out that she WASN’T a welder. She worked for Boeing. So I modified the introduction.
“That’s my sister, Linny, and her partner, Nancy. Nancy makes airplane parts.”
Awesome.
THEN, I found out that isn’t really what Nooncy does either. So, she explained it all to Michelle and now I have the offical, “What Nancy does at work” figured out: She runs a company that heat treats and coats aluminum products (Including airplane parts) to make them stronger.
AAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAA!
Maybe I should just switch the introductions just in case I have it wrong again.
“This is my sister-in-law, Nancy and my sister Linny. Linny’s a CPA.“
Awesome.
During the meal, Nancy returned the plate I used when I gave her cupcakes, and it was covered with aluminum foil with something under it. I was thinking “Holy cow! Nancy BAKED??!!!!”
I opened it and saw that SHE GOT ME THE FREAKING CUTEST IPOD, EVER!!!
It is so CUTE!
So TINY!!
So ORANGE!!!
Nancy told me that she read the comments on yesterday’s blog entry about my hideous CD player experience at the gym and said that she didn’t want people making fun of me at the gym because I am a dork that uses STILL uses CD player. (And a FUBARD CD player at that!). Nancy is pained whenever she sees ancient technology still being used.
It is EXACTLY what I would have picked out for myself. Even down to the “Bug Orange” color. It is perfect to clip onto my shirt when I run and work out and is simple enough that even techno-tard moi should be ok using it. Nancy knows what I like and what will be perfect for me even better than I do!
I completely heart it.
I was so stunned, flattered, overwhelmed and excited that I forgot to take a million photos of them (Which was probably Nooncy’s master plan, anyway.).
I didn’t have a chance to look for a dress, but that is probably for the best because I really want to lose more weight before I start looking in earnest. Besides, it is a good excuse to go to Salt Lake again.
I had such a lovely day. I’ll shut up now because I promised Nancy I wouldn’t overly gush on my blog. (Too late). Lin and Nan rock the house, IPOD or no.
P.S.
Nooncy,
Look at what we saw on the way home. I totally thought of you.
Love,
Pee.
Those iPods are so cool! Love the orange.
I MUST know where this new Sweetly Divine is. I’ll have to go next time I’m in town. BTW, have you been to the new Macey’s? My mom doesn’t really love the set up. Just wondering your thoughts.
You mean I can’t make fun of Loralee at the gym? Dang it! My master plan is GONE. I really was waiting for her to actually get the taped up cd player to the gym so I could laugh.
Also, who am I going to talk to when I run? Loralee will be able to ignore my chattering now. GRRRR.
That ipod is sooo cute btw. I know Loralee deserves it.
Love the ipod and the story :)

Man, those hedgehogs look YUMMY!
(Leave it to the chubby lady to pick out the one fattening thing in your post, right?)
It is completely cute and I’m so very, very jealous. Where does one find a “Nooncy”? I have many ancient technological toys that need updating! ;-P
yeah, this comment might rate as a comment directed towards a first grader… but i hope not!
i love edamame. i eat them all the time. even my kids like them.
but the pods are hairy! how could you even THINK about eating them??
yuck-o.
love the orange iPod. and i wondered wtf was up with you using a cd player at the gym!!!
I was oohing and aahing over those cutest hedgehogs ever and trying to figure out how to make some myself when I scrolled down and saw the Orange Perfection that is your new ipod. LUCKY!
She’s like the greatest friend EVER.
I’m still hoping to hear more “titty pink” stories. Got anything on that?
Oh lucky you! Those iPods are amazing! I wish I had one of the new little shuffles. You are going to look so kick ass at the gym.
The IPOD is cute but your ring is SO beautiful!
The hedgehogs look so good. Now, after seeing those goodies, I will have to raid the house for some chocolate.
Okay. That iPod is just too, too much! I can’t believe that your ring is almost as big as the iPod.
Tee, hee, hee.
I sent you the CD and pics on Friday. Let me know if you don’t get them, okay?
Love you.
LL2-
I got the photos and the CD today!!! I love them. This is going to rock.
Everyone who has listened loves it.
I can’t wait.
HairyFairy-I haven’t seen the new Macy’s yet because I live in North Logan on the other side of the valley, but I really want to check it out. My hubby works at that end of the valley and so do I, so it is just sad that I haven’t been yet.
Sweetly Divine is over by the new Deseret Book, Costa Vida, and Sam’s Club. It is SOOOOOOOO YUMMMY.
They have really awesome lemon bars. YUM.
Just Me-
Thanks! I love my ring. It is a freaking tank that can cause serious damage, but I waited 8 years for it and can’t quite believe it is on my finger.
Good for your sis!
I saw those iPods at the Mac store in Toronto. Very cute, but way too small. I would probably lose it, as I lose everything else in my possession. I have two mp3 players right now because I lost one, bought another, then the lost one was found.
There’s way too much Lost in that sentence. Wednesday must be coming up.
