So, Jiffy Girls, do you remember Kim who was the teacher at Binford who used to come in all the time to get something made with twist yogurt (either a cyclone with butterfinger or a hot caramel sundae with crushed pecans)? She had a daughter named Lisa who got married during my first summer there, and her daughter was a teacher at St. Charles.
Anyway, my first day working at the YMCA I saw the aquatics director and was like "I know him from somewhere!" and someone told me his name which I didn't recognize at all. Then I had this moment of recognition! He's Lisa's husband! He's related to Kim the yogurt lady! Ryan and Lisa have a new baby named Sophie who was born in August, and Kim has recently gotten married to the man who proposed to her in the M&M bag. Initially he didn't recognize me until his mother-in-law came in for a FitTrip one day, and then Lisa came too and they were like "OMG! It's A Jiffy Reunion!".
Today while I was working Ryan and I had a long and meaningful discussion about Jiffy Treet pre-ghetoization, and how I knew his wife and mother-in-law through their important days that they spent at Jiffy Treet. (On their wedding day Lisa and Kim came in the Jiffy Treet after Lisa got her hair done and she had her veil on too. That, my friends, is dedication to the Jiffy cause.) He said that they haven't been to that store in about a year, but I gave him directions to Dave's store and he and Lisa are going to go and visit with the baby...who, by the way, is possibly the cutest child ever.
Ah, Jiffy Treet.
And on a completely unrelated note Chex Mix Tropical is absolutely divine.
