Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
So Esther and I were talking and she started apologizing because her mom had realized they'd already invited people over for dinner on Sunday. But by the way she said it I knew that wasn't the problem, the problem was who was coming. My first thought was "Stephan's parents" and sure enough, I was right. (PS Stephan is my ex-boyfriend) This news is what made me laugh hysterically for at least two minutes. I started out standing next to "my bed" and gradually moved closer to the floor until I was lying on my back laughing my head off. I really don't know why I find this so dang funny. I think it's probably the potential it has for awkwardness. Not only because of the whole ex situation but also because 1. Stephan's dad is kind of different (that's putting it lightly) and 2. I know he didn't like me last summer because I'm American and last time I looked at my passport, it was still issued by the United States of America. Seriously, of all the people in the stake on all the Sundays. But here's the thing, I only met them once at Samira's baptism so I don't even know If they'll recognize me since I've lost 20lbs, cut off 9 inches of my hair, and dyed it light brown. Plus, Esther said that even if they do recognize me, they won't say anything. Neither will I. I'll just be myself and give them nothing bad to say about me, which shouldn't really be a problem unless they talk about Stephan and I say something rude like "Ja, ich hab' gehört er soll richtig dick geworden." ("Ya, I heard he's supposed to have gotten really fat" which I have heard). But, the likelyhood of me doing that is like null percent. I'm making dessert too. Take that to the bank and deposit it!! I really don't know what that was for.

Hi Hillary,
Nice blog. Not everyone can have a crazy cool one like Kristin but I'm sure in time you will have one with pictures and everything. It's a skill and you seem to be educable.
Sounds like you have had lots of fun on the public transportation there in Stuttgart. Sorry about the headach when you went to the museum and througout the day. Bummer. I bet the Mercedes / Smart car was 'cause there was nothing else to do.
I paid the balance on the tuition thing. I figured that since you will be on the train most of the day on Monday that would be easiest. If they goofed (which they did) it will get returned to you.
We got a new MST DVD collection tonight. Doug and I chose it over at BestBuy. It has some winners on it. Maybe it will have to go to Provo for a visit in the fall.
We are now going to have some pie. I got one at Marie Callender's made with splenda. I hope it tates okay to me. I now it will be fine for everyone else.
Take care and we'll talk. I have to proctor the SAT tomorrow for a Special Ed student so I won't be done until around 2:30, so don't try to call before that. I glad that you're having fun. Say hi to Esther and her family.
Love,
Mom
Mom, you're so with it. Texting and the blogs and such...
