Big adventures are cool, I mean they make great novels and shape peoples' lives I suppose, but I am more inclined to enjoy life's mini adventures. On Saturday, I went to Bloomington with Castle's French Club. While there, we had dinner at a French restaurant. I ate a snail. I was all doctored up and everything, so technically it was escargot, but it was a stinking snail nonetheless. I doubt that I will ever do that again, when I eat. I'm weird about textures (no jello or oatmeal for me!) and eating a snail was basically the equivalent of chewing on a deflated balloon. Not especially pleasant, however as from every experience, some good came out of it. Now, I feel very empowered, as though I can do anything. No task is too great for the girl who ate a snail, no way. It's actually kind of exciting.
Now, yesterday was another day for a mini adventure. I probably laughed more yesterday than i ever have in my life. Megan, Lydia, and I took a little field trip to Walgreen's. If you read my post a couple months ago, you know how much fun I can have there (my princess mittens etc). Anyway, at Walgreen's they have card that sing to you when they are opened. We had a little dance party in the card aisle, many people stared. Walking on Sunshine, Going to the Chapel, Can't Touch This, and Walk the Line, we played them all and danced, sang, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. One card left them all behind though. The little voices that erupted out of the card, laughing and saying the most hilarious things made my day. We bought that particular card and took it to church with us blessing everyone's day with the wittiness of the little people inside the card. When we were checking out, I gave the guy who works at Walgreen's a piece of "have a good day gum," but he said he was throwing it away. Hmmm. I have decided to nickname him Scrooge, bah-humbug.
So that's that on mini adventures. I would definitely recommend them, if that's not something you are currently doing. Something I really want to do this season is go Christmas caroling to different stores in the middle of the night and sing to the bored people who work there. Is that allowed? I hope so. I would where a Santa hat. Okay, I think you've had quite enough. It is perhaps time for me to be done.
Happy Monday!!!
