Four Cheese Ravioli

My sister is great, and sometimes when I'm feeling a bored I like to call and talk to her because she always has something funny or interesting to say. My brother-in-law is also great, and he's just like a brother, only better. Not only does he make my sister happy, but he's nice to me too. I called him yesterday, because as usual, Sarah wasn't answering her phone. Sometimes I can get him to pass his phone off to her, and then she's forced to speak with me. It didn't work last night. He told me that she was still at work, and screening his phone calls as well. All the same he wanted to know what I was up to, and I told him that I was just stopping in at Costco to do a little shopping. Immediately, and I mean with no hesitation, the next words out of his mouth were "Have you tried their four cheese ravioli? It's really good." His enthusiasm amused me.

Anyway, we continued chatting while I did my grocery shopping. We talked about teachers who assign projects that turn out to hold no point value for the class, my little brothers date last week, the price of avocados, whether or not the incomes of he and my older brother would impact their abilities to obtain additional wives if polygamy were to be reinstated (actually that was more a repeat of a disagreement he and John had last week. John lost that one, since he is the self-proclaimed "poster boy for the irrelevancy of dating," and has no clue what it takes to impress women), Cousin Glen's job, Ricky's halloween costume, and Sarah's inability to take care of her own parking tickets, and the pizza he was making for her dinner. I have to say that Jared was entertaining enough that he makes up for Sarah inconsiderately failing to return my phone call...again. It's a good thing she has him around. In her defense Sarah's job does require her to do more than hangout on sports chatboards, and compose blog posts, so I can probably cut her a little slack. After Jared's phone battery died (or he got sick of me and just hung up mid-sentence) I tried to remember what it was like when there was just Sarah. Then I remember, she didn't answer her phone back then either, didn't return phone calls, Meredith would have taken care of her parking ticket for her, she would have come home late, ate pasta for dinner and then sat around panicking about the possibility of getting fired (she has never even come close to getting fired). She still comes home late, I think she still worries about getting fired, and I'm sure that she still eats a lot of pasta, but at least now my grocery shopping is a lot more interesting. :)

Oh, and I had some four cheese ravioli for dinner. It was excellent, if you haven't tried it you should.
