45 minutes to burn

Careen called and said that she'd be here in 45 minutes, so i thought I'd post something up from Roy, Utah.

Last night Mary, her sisters Ruth Ann and Sarah, and her roomies Jen and Connie and I went to El Matador a Mexican restaurant in Ogden. I ordered the Spanish Omelete and a non-alcoholic Raspberry Daiquiri, it was delicious, and an incredibly huge serving. I only ate about a quarter of it and will probably be able to finish it off for lunch and dinner today!

The day previous, I joined the Young Women of the Roy 13th ward, in knocking on doors collecting for the 'Pennies by the Inch' program, a fundraiser for a children's hospital in Salt Lake. I went knocking with a young lass named Marina who's 14 and recently had her bedroom renovated with a walk-in wardrobe. It was great fun, most of the residents we encountered were elderly, with the odd member here and there. One bright eyed sister said to me, leaning in and peering into my face "Now dear, i haven't seen you before. Who are you?" i told her who i was and where i was from, to which she replied, "I've been to Sydney. You know what i don't like about Sydney? There's 4 million people there!".
