CAITLIN went on a DATE?
Well, if impromptu International Cinema and Pita Pit plus getting stuck in a snow ditch is a date, then I think I just had my first official date of the year. And by year, I mean SCHOOL year. And, it was great. My parents would be so proud of my newfound social skills.

What a wonderful weekend
I had such a beautiful weekend. On Friday night, the Veg Club hosted a potluck at someone's apartment and the food was phenomenal, for the most part. Some guy made this like Manicotti, except it was completely vegan and it had some strange ingredients but it tasted delicious. Mary and I made chili, it wasn't that great, a little too soupy and not thick enough but people liked it! There was also some good tofu stir-fry and someone made like beefaroni with the Morning Farms meal starters and it tasted great! I've used the chicken strips from that brand but have never been brave enough to do the ground beef, but I will definitely buy some of that next time I go shopping.
After the potluck, Mary and I went over to another friend's house for an Africa party. We watched Darwin's Nightmare and then discussed it... Eric Darsow was there so I got to talk to him for a while and it was great. We don't see each other nearly enough!
Saturday was great too- I slept in, went to the temple, and then headed to work. Work was uneventful but I did get a ton of work done so at least it was productive.
Sunday- great church meetings, great lunch, great movies (Titanic), and then great party when I met great people. The only, I suppose, not so great moment was the prophet Gordon B. Hinckley's passing... but I can't help but just be joyous imagining how elated he must be to be with his beloved wife and the Savior. He did momentous things for the Church these past 13 years, but we all knew we had to let him go eventually.
On another note, my mission papers are filled out! Dentist appt down, doctor appt to go. Two interviews and that's that. I'm pretty stoked.

Oh, and by the way
PS. I got floor seats for the forum on Tuesday... with Paul Rusesabagina. As in, Hotel Rwanda. I'm going to shake his hand. It will totally rock.
I hate Provo drivers but I love citizen lobbyists
This morning on my way to class, I was crossing the street at the bottom of the hill when a speeding car came out from a corner and almost ran me down. First off, she should not have been gunning it across that crosswalk since it was 10 am and there were a thousand people walking to school. THEN, as I stopped in the crosswalk to go past, she had the audacity to HONK at me. Seriously? I have the rightaway sista. Then she looked annoyed and "waved" me past. It really disgusted me.
But last night was phenomenal. I almost stayed behind to work on WomanStats that was due last night, but I went with SID to the state capitol to a citizen lobby training meeting. It was so informative and interesting. We toured the newly-renovated capitol building and it's beautiful. We got to the chambers of the House and actually see the desks and everything. Then we learned how to approach our representatives and write them little notes to be delivered to them while they are in session. It was neat. Afterwards, a bunch of us went to grab food at Wild Oats/Whole Foods. The food was amazing!! We got an eclectic mix; my favorite was probably the BBQ Tempeh Salad or the delicious organic oranges. And by the way, soy yogurt is much better than dairy yogurt. I think I'm going to have to go buy some at Good Earth today, along with whatever I am going to make for the veg potluck tonight. Mmmmm. I'm excited. AND then the Africa party. Yay. I love SID.

Healthy, sustainable, green
If this was in Provo, I would eat there every day. Can we say franchise??
