kristen and i finally stayed here at lancaster for a weekend, and it's a good thing because the next four weekends we have trips booked! saturday night we were entertained by "House 7 Bar" as they like to call themselves, and they put on a jagerbomb train. we had never heard of one before so we were a bit confused as to how it works, but once we saw it in progress the title was self-explanatory. basically, a bunch of dixie cups are set up in 2 lines (they can curve or be a straight line) and these cups are filled with red bull. then, shot glasses full of jagermeister are placed on top of them, on the rims of the cups. the whole setting-up process takes quite a long time, depending on how many cups you have.. in this case there were 150. once it's ready to go, a person at the end of the "train" tips over an empty shot glass which in turn knocks the other two shot glasses and it becomes a domino effect. miraculously, there are no spills! the shot glasses just fall right into the dixie cups and voila, 150 jager bombs were ready to be taken! apparently there are tons of youtube videos with nifty designs that have been done, etc. perhaps it will be something i'll take back to america..if i have the patience.
on another note, kristen and i received valentine's care packages full of goodies! i had been craving cookies so it was the perfect little surprise. people around here don't eat many sweets so i was all for some homemade cookies and chocolate. speaking of food, kristen and i did online grocery shopping! i never thought i would become that lazy! although, to be completely honest, it's not a matter of laziness but rather a way of saving money. if you split your grocery list with someone and order together, then the price of delivery is less than taking the bus into town to get it done. and it beats hauling around all those heavy grocery bags! kristen and i never found enough hands to get all the items we needed. and a little birdie told us that the company we shopped through, ASDA, was just bought out by walmart. go figure!
too bad i forgot to buy some tea though-- i have the worst sore throat. hopefully it will get out of my system for this weekend because we're headed to Edinburgh, Scotland (pronounced Eh-din-bra), and we're meeting up with Maddi and Lauren (our friends from HPU). Which reminds me- Candice, Kara, and Tommy are coming to visit in March which I'm totally stoked about :) it will be one giant High Point reunion!
