So, I lost my original Nalgene bottle (the one I bought in Hadley, MA) about 8 months ago. REI had them on sale in June, so I bought a new one. TRgirl and The BIL also gave the members of their wedding party Nalgene bottles, so I had 2, which is a good number, except that I usually use my Camelback for day hiking. Yesterday I went to the carwash (the good one, where they vacuum your car and everything), and they found the original under one of the seats. Now I have three (!) Nalgenes.
On a somewhat related note, I think the next time I go to the carwash, I shall try Bunkey's or the AutoBell. I've been going to the Scruffy Duck, and the past 2 times it has looked like they had a St. Bernard cleaning the windows. With his tongue. I even had the kid rewash the windows yesterday, and I still have to rewash them today. Ugh!
And now for a completely unrelated story. Thursday I was driving to Cdub's from the barn (rode Bruno, no stirrups, and my legs were SORE!) (oh, Cdub needed me to help move a recliner into her house. This recliner has been in her van since Thanksgiving.) and my phone rang. It was Bud, who said, "What does Goose want for Christmas? " I didn't remember exactly. He hung up to call TRgirl. He called me again, when I was 5 minutes from m house, because he wanted to know what I got him (him being Goose in this instance) and I told him I'd call him again when I got home so I could give him exact details. When I got home and called him, HE DID NOT ANSWER THE DAMNED PHONE! He called me again, because he didn't get the voicemail I left. At about 9:30 that night, the phone rang. "What does mom want?" Dude, it's called making a list before you go shopping. Look into it.
