Don't Feed the Brittan

What the heck.

I go from being fed NON-STOP to, not only being fed nothing, but having nothing to feed myself. Here is a *list of foods I do not have at this time:

1. Milk.
2. Bread.
3. Cheese.
4. Tortillas.
5. Eggs.
6. Lunch meat.
7. Yogurt.

Everything I can possible think to eat requires one of these things.

Here is a *list of foods I do have:

1. Spinach.
2. Cashews.
3. Spaghetti noodles.
4. Oatmeal.

What is this?

So basically right now I am hungrier (yes, that's a word) than a cow and I have nothing. I am trying to hold off til our next trip to the grocery store which is flippin tomorrow.

Maybe this lack of nutrients to the brain is the cause for my blogger's block and thus the reason you all have been so deprived of a post lately.

But guess what. The church is true, and this fact may save my life. Let me expound.

On Monday I responded to a knock at the door by opening it. When what to my wondering eyes should appear, but 3 nicely dressed young men, 2 of which were wearing the all too familiar name tag. I immediately thought of 2 of my roommates, The Hybrid and The Rock, that are most likely on a list "To be converted."

Me: Hi.
Canada: Hi, is H2O here?

What? H2O?!

Now, let me tell you, H2O is my actual in-room roommate and she is quite active in the church. So I was pretty much shocked.

Me: Uh, ya. (Turn around) H2O, door for you.

She comes out of our beautiful/welcoming room to greet her door friends.

Canada: Hello. You're H2O? I'm Canada. This is RI, and this is RM. (Turning to me) What's your name?
Me: Me.

And we all shook hands. They then told us that they had prayed and determined that there was a girl in our dorm named H2O that they needed to visit her. Psh. Ya right.

Okay, so I was seriously just about to post the entire conversation we had, but it distracts from the point, so let me skip to the good part.

So they were actually here to ask about the roommates I mentioned above and they wanted blah blah etc and then Canada said this:

We're here to invite you to invite your friends.

Bah!! Can you believe he said that? I started laughing right then and there.

Me: Wow. I feel like I'm in a movie right now. You know, the cheesy seminary ones? Yep, that's what this feels like. This is just not real.

But real it was. And guess what they almost made us do: practice "inviting" our friends. Right there in front of them. Fortunately another roommate walked up the stairs right at this exact moment. She is actual friends with the roommates in question so she was able to give more accurate information to these young men.

In the end it was determined that they would come for dinner sometime during the week and that would be a casual enough, not awkward, normalish way of getting them to be able to visit our roommates.

That "sometime during the week" just so happens to be tonight. And guess what. We don't have food. So guess what we are most likely going to have to do.

Go to the store!!

And so you see, if the church was not true, then I would be here, starving my face off, wondering if I would even survive through the next night and make it to our grocery trip tomorrow.

But it is true.

So off to the store I go.

Moral of the story = Uh. Let me get back to you.

*List is not complete
