Weekend of Deprivation

So, funny story. I went to my bishop's house for Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. I had a whole bunch of stuff with me because I was being shuffled from place to place and needed stuff in each of those places. Anyway, I left my laptop and a bag of other stuff in his backseat, and one of his daughters took me home, so I forgot all of that stuff. I had my cell phone with me, but the charger cord was in the bag, so that meant I was basically without a phone for a few days. Also, I was without my computer (GASP!) for a few days, too. Among other important things left were my make-up, my brush, and my hair straightener. Just things I really don't care about-- really. So, this was pretty much the strangest weekend I've had without those essential items. Right before my phone died, I wrote down all the numbers I could possibly need or that could possibly be of help to me while I was phone-less for a few days. I thought the list was funny, so I'll post it. If you're here, then you're special. If not, well, maybe I was just clicking through the names too fast. :)

Important Phone Numbers:
Vanfleets (people I was staying with)
Bishop (needed to get my stuff back at some point)
BYU Bookstore (in case I needed to call in to work)
Christine (would be in town for the weekend, too)
Clarissa (what are roomies for?)
Dad (in case I needed money, of course)
DaNae (you always have to have your BFFL's number)
Jeff (has a car and is in the state)
John (ditto)
Lorraine (my second mommie)
Mom (my BFF!)
Neil (in the same state, knows people with transportation)
Rachel (my RA)
Russell (only family in the state)
Sara (in case mom and dad weren't answering their phones)
Steff (gotta keep the roommates' numbers)
Steve @ the Bookstore (once again, if I needed to call into work)
Taylor (my home teacher)

So, it turns out I didn't really need any of these except the first one, but hey, "if ye are prepared, ye shall not fear."

Any favorites from my list? Leave a comment....
