Bears, bananas, bugs

You thought I’d never come back, didn’t you?
The Romgi has been back for about two weeks. Just before he got home, I had a not-so-fun experience with the Salt Lake City police: they towed and impounded my car after it was parked on a public street for less than 24 hours, because a neighbor thought it had been there for “a few days.” Thanks to a lot of help from my aunt and uncle, I was able to get my car and the fees back, but what a hassle! Things have been nice and calm since the Romgi’s return, though.
Want to see some of the souvenirs he brought?
an adorable Bwun-sized bear hat
a variety of cool stationery packs, including DONUTS
an adorable almost-Bwun sized Korean soccer outfit
a banana pillow that cries when you peel it
Of course, there were lots of other cool things too, but right now I don’t have pictures or I’m too lazy to upload them. It’s really late, so don’t judge me too much.
We’re gearing up for our big trip – we leave in just a few days for North Carolina! It will be a fun experience (I hope). I figure we’ll never have the chance – or never want – to do such a big road trip once we have more kids, and I definitely don’t want to send the Romgi off on his own again.
Oh yeah, and did you hear the fantastic news?
Baby Girl coming this fall! We had to go buy some sandals for the Bwun yesterday (one from each pair we own has mysteriously disappeared), and while we were at Babies R Us, I got this cute little outfit for $5 just in case we found out today the Oeuf is a girl:
Bright colors and bugs? Yes, I’m sold. And so excited for a girl!
I don’t know how often I’ll have internet access once we leave next week, but I’ll take lots of pictures and write updates to post whenever I can. First stop: Denver.
The Bwun shows off

Martinelli’s Cashes in on Twilight Craze
Posted: June 3, 2010 Filed under: Importance of Being Earnest 3 Comments
Watsonville, CA – Early Thursday morning, Stephen C. Martinelli, president of the well-known S. Martinelli & Company, made an announcement that vast changes are are coming to the family business. S. Martinelli & Company, known for its gold medal award-winning sparkling apple cider, is changing its marketing strategy in order to target the younger generation. Martinelli announced that his company is re-branding several of their key products, including their famous sparkling apple cider.
“It really makes a lot of sense,” the president said speaking of the change, “I am surprised that we didn’t realize this earlier.” He announced that the sparkling apple cider will now be known as “Edward Apple Juice.”
Martinelli cited the significant artistic placement of the apple on the cover on the first book of immensely popular Twilight series, as well as the fact that the vampires sparkle when exposed to sunlight, as the primary reasons for the change.
“With how popular this whole Twilight thing is, we’d be stupid to not try to take advantage of it.” Martinelli said as he put on a “Team Edward” t-shirt; his daughter stood next to him wearing a shirt which read “I like boys (and apples) that SPARKLE.”
The crowd of teenage girls burst into cheers, as their forlorn boyfriends looked on with grim determination. With renewed confidence, the company’s president said that the marketing shift made sense, as the sparkling cider is often seen as an alcohol-free alternative to champagne, and most of the fans of the series are underaged women. “They’re just going to eat this stuff up!” he said with enthusiasm.
The president said that the company had recently concluded significant negotiations with Stephenie Meyer, the author of the Twilight series, and she seemed positive about the changes. Ms. Meyer could not be reached for direct comment, but a call to her manager confirmed that the new beverage will be featured heavily in the upcoming Twilight movie, Eclipse.
