I Ate Your Chips or Stuff People Say to Me, VIII

I ate your chips. I knew you wouldn't mind.

Leanne (next door work neighbor) brought back a veggie burger for me from Local Harvest; they usually serve burgers with Billy Goat chips which I usually don't eat.

You look good. Your skin is so clear and you look like you've been dipped in chocolate.

So, tell me, what's up with you? Yaddayaddayadda...You look cute. Yaddayaddayadda

Lisa, fellow climber

One route at a time.

Patti to me after I voiced my frustration with getting off to a rocky climbing start.

Nubian Princess...

Jackie, a climber, to me. She had a hard time remembering my name and said that she would just call me Nubian Princess. I had no objections.

I'll tell ya, one mistake that I see people make a lot is being too far away from the wall.

Brent's friend's comment on lead belaying after Brent asked me about the lead climbing class.

Leah: Are you still doing yoga?

Me: Yeah, I'll probably try Bikram next.

Leah: That's not good for your body. Pause... You can go outside (it was around 100 degrees this day) and do yoga.

You're totally ready for lead climbing. Later...Your technique is good.

If I had a choice between jumping out of a plane and rock climbing then, maybe, I would choose rocking climbing.

*Sitting at a middle table with Michael on the left and an older couple on the right, I was fully embarrassed at this point. I guess exercise and cleaner eating are agreeing with me???

Yesterday


Leanne (next door work neighbor): I'm sorry.

Me: What? Did you go to Sweet Art? Oh no...Where's the veggie burger?

Leanne: I forgot. At least I thought about you.



Today

Leanne: I'm at Local Harvest. Do you want a veggie burger?

Me: Yes.

Leanne: It's cold.

Me: I don't care; it can be warmed up.


After work, I go to the refrigerator and I see a container with veggie burger on it.

The container was much heavier than I expected. I open the lid and discover four veggie burgers for the price of $6.99 -- that's how much you pay for one veggie burger at the Local Harvest restaurant.

I've been to the Local Harvest store but never spotted the burgers. I am thrilled with Leanne's find and, you know, thrilled that she thought about me.
