Brr, it's cold in here.
Movie theaters are cold. Always. I used to think it was just in the summer when they pumped in the AC, but it seems they don't turn on the heat either. It's official, I should start wearing long underwear to the movies because otherwise I'll freeze to death. Not only are theaters cold, but it's all movie theaters. I just thought I should make you all aware of this so you can mentally prepare yourself whenever you go see a movie.
The Main Line has turned against us.
WTF man? On Christmas Eve, Mary and I escaped the house soon after waking up. We love chicken cheese steaks and cheese fries, so we figured, ah yes campus corner, the love of our lives. Wrong! We drove Campus and the lights were out. I figured Mary is stupid and lied to me. She didn't really check the hours, it was a trap. No, Wrong again! Campus specifically stated that the hours were 11-3, What time was it? 1:45. Here's my angry letter I planned on writing on a napkin, but chose not to:
Dear Campus,
It's 1:45 on December 24th; you're supposed to be open, but your door seems to be locked. That's funny. I thought about breaking in, but I thought I would leave you this note to express my anger instead. First you switched the cheese, then the rolls and now this? What is happening? Keep it up, and I might have to find a new love of my life.

Then we headed over to the TLA for some DVDs to ease the pain. Mary and I have been working on watching all of My So-Called life for oh, probably the past year or so. We only have one disk left. We decided we would rent the ultimate movie, Napoleon Dynamite and the final disk. No! The TLA had neither My So-Called life nor Napoleon. Gosh!
We thought we would go get some pot pies and muffins at the Bakery Shoppe. The Bakery shoppe was packed, and had slim pickings. If I wanted a gross low-fat muffin I was in luck, but otherwise I was forced to leave. No one likes low-fat things. It's a muffin, it's supposed to be covered in sugary tastiness. Bakery Shoppe, Why do you create low-fat things? To hurt me?
We were still hungry so we headed for Ruby's. No, a 20-25 minute wait. We were not about to wait for 20 minutes to stand around with 500 children and watch the train go by. So I suggested to go over to Peace across the street. See Mary's previous post about her new found love of the Peace in Ardmore.
So I've come to the conclusion that every (worthy) establishment on the Main Line hates us, except for Peace, possibly the new love of my life.

Jane's reaction to the challenge

![]() | WHATS WRONG WITH HER
SHE WILL DIE no! angry i am angry down she is going down tomorrow = day of posts |
Today's questions: sandwiches
1) What seemingly popular sandwich would you never eat?
2) PB+J: Type of each. more PB or more J?
3) Favored bread? Toasted or not?
4) What is your favorite sandwich?
1) Tuna salad. I cannot decide what is grosser, the tuna, or the mayo coating it. Ew. Just thinking about it makes me feel a little sick.
2) A very tough question. I guess I put on more PB than J, but it's close. J should be strawberry, PB should be chunky.
3) I heart white bread, and its total lack of nutritional value. If I were absolutely forced to choose a grainy bread, I kind of dig that one that has little bits of oatmeal on the top, because it most closely recreates the delicious sweetness of white bread. Toasting is always good.
4) Standard sandwich: roast beef. Ultimate sandwich: the real turkey sandwich on a baguette formerly found at the (now dearly departed) Peche. Backup ultimate sandwiches can be found at the Le Bus on 18th St., where basically everything is good. Although I have never had their sprout sandwich, because you would have to be a fool to think that was going to turn out well.

The Challenge
Dear Jane,
We have been challenged. Called out, if you will. By none other than JENNIFER!!! Yes, that's right, the girl who took a 3 month vacation from her blog to get married thinks that she can post 5 blogs in one day, and now she's some kind of blogging master. Are we going to take that? NO! We are ready to rumble! So, think about what we're going to blog about. Ms. Jitsu seems to favor the "answer random questions" model of blogging. Maybe I will start asking you random questions, and then we'll have at least 2 posts a day (assuming you answer me.) And if Mary is our real sister, she will not let this challenge go unanswered, either, and she will fire back as well. (Good work, Mary, for getting the ball rolling.) You posted as the challenge was being made. OK, I can't waste that much material in one post, since obviously, just posting a bunch of different posts within an hour is totally kosher, but expect to see my first list of questions soon.
Love,
Helen
P.S. I also favor SHA over Rosemont for Christmas Eve.

Look out your window!
Okay, so it probably isn't snowing at the moment you're reading this, but it's snowing at the moment I'm writing it. Finally, the glorious snow has come. It's lightened up a little which is slightly depressing, but hopefully it will be enough for a snow day and sledding. That's basically the only exciting thing happening in my life.
Well other than, Let's get ready to Rumble! Yeah crack that code!
