Jammie's Weekend (alternative title: Ace's Shoes)

Jammie here...I have decided to share a few things I learned this weekend while the guru was in town... 

1.  We live in a rainforest.

I'm pretty sure that I have forgotten what the sun looks like, and I've decided that Utah has two seasons: winter & the rainy season.  I even consulted Wikipedia (the obvious expert on such matters as weather) to see what it thought about this odd weather, and  I would like to share my favorite quote from this expert source: "Summers [in Utah] are hot and dry, with highs frequently reaching 95°F (35°C), with a few days per year reaching 100°F (38°C). Rain is provided in the form of infrequent thunderstorms during summer, usually between mid-July and mid-September during the height of monsoon season." I haven't yet decided if Utah is confused or if Wikipedia lies.  I prefer the first option as I put a lot of trust into Wikipedia.

2.  You should always have Reese's on standby.

Yesterday (Saturday), the guru and I managed to hike Waterfall Canyon, get pedicures and manicures, get the guru's hair dyed, buy dresses, and go to a wedding (for which we borrowed Ace's shoes [thanks Ace!]...this allowed for her spirit to attend the wedding).  This is quite impressive especially considering that we did all of this on two granola bars and one piece of cold pizza (me) and a Cliff bar (guru).  Needless to say, at approximately 6 p.m., our stomachs were eating our kidneys...this is where guru came the the rescue with Reese's.  These individually wrapped rounds of chocolaty, peanut butter goodness saved our lives, which is why I share this valuable information with you.  

3.  If you don't know anything about wine, make it up.

I thought I'd share with you my thoughts on describing wine.  First off, I love wine.  I think that it's absolutely fabulous and should be incorporated as a food group...it's that good.  In fact, I like to count wine as fruit servings.  However, I don't think I'm ever going to master the art of describing wine.  A few words one might use to describe wine would be flowery, peppery, spicy, and woody.  Now, would any of you actually want to drink something with such adjectives describing it??  Please raise your hand now if so.  Maybe it will grow on me...until then, I'm just going to make it up. :)

4.  The guru might need a new name as the instigator (I will share these reasons at a later time); however, I am officially giving this nickname to the person who conceptualized this blog.

I have decided to nickname the individual who conceptualized this blog as "the instigator" as she has not yet officially been blessed with a nickname.   I would love to expand upon this, but I feel as though the blog is already quite long and I have a little bit more to add...so, I will have to do so at a later point.

As a final note, I would like to point out that the blog is famous.  At the wedding, I actually had multiple conversations concerning the blog and potential future blog topics.  I think that it has reached the level that Ace hoped it would (*Jammie pauses and claps for Ace*).
