Olive Garden

so, as jodi and i were sitting in Olive Garden tonight, i pondered on all the experiences i've had in that restaurant chain! fyi: not in chronological or favorite order.

• andrew and eric dipping their bread sticks in raspberry lemonade.
• sunday lunch in Madison, just mommy and me. and soup salad and breadsticks.
• work dinner, trying to convince phil to move seats because of other paranoid coworkers.
• "all of my bus-boys think you guys are cute? can i give you guys their numbers?"
• almost being forced to eat calamari, the memory of boys with manners.
• 'when we turn 21, can we eat at the bar... just because we can?'
• eric, ash and i... and the football game above the bar. haha
• Portland Olive Garden with Lynn. eating the BEST chocolate cake ever. and just having a wonderful time together. perfect way to end a fairly stressful week together.
• opening night in Idaho Falls. 45 minute wait with Angie and Jenea. dang, it was worth it
• Easter sunday lunch with mom and dad on our way home from school... spring '07
• traveling break in Janesville with dad on our way home from Ohare.
• Gill, Lynn, Grace Mari and I.
  
• Lynn, the girls, and i. --the sugar packets are biodegradable.
  

okay. so... i prolly missed a couple occasions. and this might just seem like a list of random things to you. buuuuuut, to me there's a ton of good laughs and memories in this list.
