dialect meme + stuff
Today I left the house! It was exciting! Sort of!
I went to the mall to spend some gift certificates! I bought this dress and a new purse! I've been using my House messenger bag for a long time and I kind of wanted a grown-up bag that I can still carry my water bottle and work shoes in and I found one on sale that I kind of fell in love with. It's basically a suitcase. I don't care. It has hand straps AND a shoulder strap. It's amazing.
Anyway. Tomorrow quatredeathlady is coming around and Sunday my family and I are going to see The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at the Papermill, so it's going to be a good weekend!

So, last night I listened to leiascully and coffeesuperhero do the dialect meme and kept cracking up, so I decided I'd finally give it a shot. You know, two weeks after my flist did it. That's like two years in real world time.

Recite this passage:
Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.

Now I'm going to spend the rest of the night reading Post-Trinity Fic. Because it's all hilarious and I miss it all XD
