Sisters, roommates, and all of the above.

This has been the best Saturday of my summer, without a doubt. My really wonderful and beautiful friend Allison arrived at my humble abode at 1:15am (approximately), at which point I ran out into the street to greet her and we had a very happy reunion. We grabbed The Young Victoria from Redbox, miracle eye drops, milk, breakfast and ice cream from Wal Mart, came home and talked watched the movie till we fell asleep at about 4am. (By the way, I discovered the 8th Wonder of the World, and it's called Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. It has changed my life.DO.IT.)

With all my roommates off on a camping trip, Allison and I had the apartment to ourselves and slept in all morning. It was so great. All day long we did just what we wanted to: shopping, floating down the provo river, eating at Tucanos..... floating down the river.... ummm.... okay, it's story time.

So, we were floating down the river, and we got stuck in between a group of very boisterous men drinking beer from Seattle and a very loud family reunion that felt the need to include us in their water fights. Oh, and not to mention the people on shore who were soaking us with their water guns, too. Great. But just when we were thinking the ride was almost over, we got the surprise of a lifetime.

I saw it first, and couldn't speak for about ten seconds while I was trying to grasp what I had just seen, and then Allis saw it... actually, it was a him. A very large, older him.

Me: .....
Me: .......
Allison: Did you see that?!
Me: Ummmm...... Allison?
Allison: .... NAKED MAN!!!
Me: ALLISON! NAKED MAN! Ahhhhh!!!

Seriously, it happened. A very large, older man was just standing on the banks of the Provo river 100% naked, nude, bare, in the nude, stark naked, having nothing on, stripped, unclothed, undressed; without a stitch on, in one's birthday suit, in the buff, in the raw, in the altogether, buck-naked, butt-naked, mother-naked. Got that? NAKED.

We almost didn't get out of the river where we were supposed to because we were so surprised at what we had just seen. All we could say to anybody when we got out of the water was, "There's a naked man! Just standing there!" I'm sure they all thought we were crazy, but it's true. I have never been so disturbed by anything in my life.

But other than that, it's been a completely incredible day, and tomorrow should be even better. We are going to watch Sherlock Holmes now (I haven't seen it yet), and I am going to finish my pint (first? second? I'm losing count...) of Coffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love my life? :)
