The New Week 2

Pineapple Wednesday came back for a second week. This time the adventure started at the grocery store. I had donned my Pineapple Wednesday shirt and headed off to buy the beloved pineapple. While making my purchase, the cashier made the mistake of asking me about my plans for the day. I told him ALLLL about Pineapple Wednesday. He probably thinks I'm pretty. Ha. No. He probably thinks I'm pretty crazy though. But whether he was actually interested or just playing along, he asked me what I do for the other days of the week. This is something I hadn't actually thought about. An expansion of Pineapple Wednesday?! Hmm... Probably won't happen I would be in the poor house! But he suggested ice cream for the weekends. I do so like ice cream. :)

So I guess what I'm saying is maybe we've spread the word a little bit? Maybe we have a new fan? Maybe still no one even knows about us. But hey, Provo! We're here. And we have pineapple! I was hoping that since so many people in Provo are apparently obsessed with Psych, that people would get it. It's only been 2 weeks so I guess we will just have to wait and see.

This week there was no hurried rush to get to the designated Pineapple delivery zone, no extensive search for a parking space where I won't get a ticket. It was a lot more calm than the first. Of course I talked too fast and started to get desperate and just shoved it in some poor soul's hands, but we are starting to get things figured out.

This week we started out in the science building. I had never set foot inside that building before, but it was cold outside and it was the first building with unlocked doors that we came too! We wandered a bit, but most people were in class or talking on their cell phones or listening to ipods. We seriously walked up and down every floor of that building before we decided to go somewhere else.

Can I just say how much I love the weird looks I get when people see us wandering around campus carrying a pineapple? If they only knew. I try to educate as many people as possible, but it's hard when there's only one pineapple to give away each week. Sigh. If only Pineapples were free and money grew on trees right?

Around this point I started getting tired of wandering in circles and started getting pretty desperate. Then I saw someone coming up the stairs. No cell phone. No ipod. Just coming up the stairs. I put on my big cheesy grin and stepped in front of him. I love that first reaction of people. I wish I could just take a picture of everyone's face. Ha. It would be so exciting. But I do my little spiel about me and my partner of the week "Galileo Humpkins." Let me tell you how hard that was to say about a girl without laughing. For real. I promised it wasn't toxic. Which I promise it really wasn't.

No updates to report on either week thus far. I think the people of USU were a little more open to random girls giving them pineapples... since we had updates on almost everyone there. But we are still willing to give UVU a chance. Maybe when spring rolls around and the days become warmer it will seem just a little less peculiar. But then again... maybe not. But Pineapple Wednesday will continue nevertheless.

Until next week...

Aloha!
