Caught up with Billie tonight, so YAY for that! I also put in my RSVP for Jason and Karen's wedding, too. Currently bugging Corey about reading stuff on phones, haha. Teunis got home around midnight - discussed insurance, student loans, money, yogurt from the Iranian store (rich texture?!), hand sanitizer as camping supplies (I don't like ONE STEP's smell, from Shoppers Drug Mart), pub food as snacks, hot chocolate, the SCA / Rhiannon / crashing at someone's place / Alicia / dance class and silly jokes, interesting food, parks, guests, showering after a long hot day, and more. He apparently used up one kilogram of peanut butter (protein craving?) in a couple of weeks, oh my!

Trivia fact for Friday, Aug. 6: Why is it customary to mount a horse from the left side? The tradition dates back to medieval days when armed warriors found that their swords (which were worn on the left hip) wouldn't get in the way if they swung their right leg over their trusty steed when they climbed aboard.
