Latvian Independence Day

Today is the day that Latvia regained its independence from Soviet occupation in 1990. My roommate and I celebrated it, because we. are. LATVIA! (Long story involving a mug, a stop sign, and a wall.)

We went to the mall. She treated me to Zupa's for lunch. I'd never been there before, but the "samich" I got was very yummy.

Tonight something very exciting happened! Are you ready for this? We ordered a . . . pizza! Okay, so that doesn't sound super exciting but we got it delivered! Like, a guy in a Papa John's shirt and hat came up to our door and said my name. And guess what I got to say when I handed him the money? Go on, guess.

"Keep the change."

hehe!

I've always wanted to say that!

Then we watched Dr. Who while we ate our pizza.

Oh yeah. It was a pretty great Latvian Independence Day.

  1. aww man Whitney, you crack me up! Sweetheart, permit to be honest with you: I don't know if you'll be able to handle living in a big city like New York. Your head might explode out of excitement, which isn't very good and will make me sad. Nah, I love your "keep the change" story. I remember my first time. He was a nice Chinese man.

  2. You're so funny. I bet you said "keep the change" with a giant goofy grin on your face... And the pizza boy was probably all "whatever."
