what's that?
I arrived home tonigt at about 6:30pm and had the following converation with my roommie, Kristina:
Kristina: Wanna go to the Easter pageant with me?
Me: Not particularly.
Kristina: Why not?
Me: Because.
Kristina: Are you sure you don't want to go?
Me: Yeah. Why?
Kristina: Cuz I don't want to go by myself.
Me: When is it?
Kristina: 8 o'clock, but I'm leaving in about 10 minutes to get a good seat.
Me: Uh...okay. Sure.
15 minutes later in the car on the way to the temple...
Kristina: *starting to chuckle as she's driving*
Me: What?
Kristina: You realize tonight's the Spanish version, right?
Me: *silence*
Kristina: I couldn't tell if you knew and just didn't care or if you had no idea.
Me: How would I have known it was the Spanish version tonight?
Kristina: I just thought you knew.
There was silence in the car for a few seconds as we got off the freeway and headed towards the temple...
Kristina: I can turn around and take you home.
Me: No, it's fine.
Kristina: I'm serious. I'll take you back. I don't mind.
Me: You should be able to feel the Spirit no matter the language, right?
Kristina: Right.
Me: Hey, at least I have something to blog about now!
Below is a text conversation I had with my brother J.R. while sitting on the temple lawn waiting for the pageant to start and smelling the Arby's the people we're sitting next too are eating. Mmmm....Arby's...
Me: So I'm at the Easter pageant with my roommate. Funny thing is she forgot to inform me it was the Spanish version tonight. This should be fun.
J.R.: Are there spanish protestors?
Kristina insisted on reading what I wrote and informed me later that she didn't really care about going by herself. She just said that cuz she wanted me to come and didn't want me to be home alone. To which I replied, "I am perfectly fine with being home by myself."
Note to Kristina: Next time it's Spanish night...let me stay home! (In all actuality, it was fun listening to it in Spanish.)
Conversations between Kristina and I waiting for the pageant to start...
Kristina: Que hora es?
Me: What's that?
Kristina: What time is it?
Me: 7:25
Kristina: Que hora es?
Me: What's that?
Kristina: What time is it?
Me: 7:42
Kristina: Que hora es?
Me: What's that?
Kristina: *laughing* What time is it?!
Me: *laughing* 7:51. That should be the title of this blog: "What's that?"!

insert cash or press "pay with card"
Only problem with that? There is no "pay with card" button!!!
"Let me 'splain...no, there is too much. Let me sum up"
I went to Wal-Mart this morning with my roomie Elaina to get a few random items and a Money Order for our March rent. The line at the Customer Service desk was about a bizillion people long, so I decided to use the machine they have where you can pay for and print money orders automatically. So, figuring this would be the quickest route, we stepped up to the machine and started placing our Money Order order. I had the majority of the rent amount in cash, but had to pay for some of it with my debit card. I fed all the cash I had into the machine, one 20 at a time, then when I got to the end of what I had the machine said: "insert cash or press pay with card." But...as previously mentioned...there wasn't a "pay with card" button. In lieu of missing button I swiped my card on the pinpad, thinking that would work. It didn't.
We pushed the help button...and waited.
We asked an associate to call someone...and waited. She then came over and said to just swipe my card. I told her I already did that, but did it again. Surprise, surprise...it still didn't work.
A cashier came up...we explained what we were trying to do she said to just swipe my card. I told her I already did...twice...but she said to do it again. I did. It didn't work. She then somehow managed to cancel the transaction, making the machine print out a piece of paper telling them to refund the cash I'd already fed in. She stood around looking at the receipt with this blank look on her face for a while then pressed the cancel transaction button, effectively locking the machine.
She went into the office and had some other lady come out...then walked away.
Lady #2 again stood around with a blank expression on her face. I explained the situation to her saying I either needed the Money Order or my cash back. and then decided to call over an assistant manager.
Assistant Manager comes over. I explain the situation for the third time. She tells Lady #2 that she needs to refund me my cash from the money they keep in the office. Lady #2 then walks back into the office and dissapears for about 3-5 minutes while Elaina and I stood waiting in the Customer Service area which, by the way, was now empty. (If I had only waited in line for another ten minutes I could have avoided this whole mess.)
Finally Lady #2 comes back out with a handful of cash. I counted it, just to make sure, and had to sign two different pieces of paper. Assistant Manager then helps me get the Money Order I need. Finally!
Bottom line: Don't use the Money Order machine at Wal-Mart. It sucks!
