[Speaker 2] I keep calling gila but no answer! I bet he is hiding in the plants

[Speaker 1] Gila is the name of my favorite electro country musician hehe

[Speaker 2] Awesome! Yea I have like a jungle in my house I love plants!

[Speaker 1] I do too but my favorite plants live in cold places so I cannot grow them here

[Speaker 2] Yeah I bet! I need to move all my plants because I am going to paint

[Speaker 2] I am painting the whole house purple!

I own a pet lizard named Gila.
I like having plants in my house.

[Speaker 1] Did you find your pet lizard Gila, yet?

[Speaker 2] I did!  After about 30 minutes of searching I found her in my potted ficus tree.

[Speaker 1] Oh wow, haha. She loves that tree. I'm glad you were able to find her!

[Speaker 2] Me, too!   She's a tricky one.  So how have you been?  Doing any skiing yet this winter?

[Speaker 1] I'm doing well! A few friends and I have been talking about going to the local slopes in a couple of weekends. You're welcome to join us!

[Speaker 2] I'm not much for this cold!  You guys are crazy. Hey, did you see Gila has a concert coming up?

[Speaker 1] The cold is great! But I'll admit that we are a little wild, haha. No I didn't see that! That must have just been announced today.

[Speaker 2] We should get tickets.  it will be fun.  We can make a weekend out of it!  As long as I can find someone to water my plants.

[Speaker 1] That sounds like a plan to me! It's been ages since I've seen her live! And as far as your plants go, I could ask Amy to do it. She loves plants.

[Speaker 2] That would be great.  As long as she's available, I'm in.

[Speaker 1] Sounds good. I'll ask Amy tonight. Speaking of plants, I'm thinking about getting a couple for my apartment. Any recommendations?

I love the winter.

My favorite musician is a banjo player. I like weird music. My favorite electro country musician is Gila. I have been to a Gila concert. I know Amy.

I studying cursive writing.

I have a female pet lizard named Gila. My lizard was missing. I found my lizard in my ficus tree.

I don't like cold weather.

[Speaker 1] I finally got my first plant, something called a "snake plant." I hope it survives!

[Speaker 2] That's awesome. Welcome to the world of plant ownership. Did you look up information about it on Google at all?

[Speaker 1] I did! One of the things I like best about snake plants is that they help purify the air. It's also good that they don't need a lot of direct sunlight because My apartment doesn't have a lot of big windows.

[Speaker 2] Cool. I'll have to check those out sometime.

[Speaker 1] How is your lizard doing? Have you thought about getting anymore reptiles?

[Speaker 2] Gila is doing well. He hasn't got out of his cage since last time thankfully! I have thought about getting more but I'm not sure if I have the time to care for more. If I did I would get some sort of snake.

[Speaker 1] I've always been afraid of snakes. My brother had a python when we were growing up, and I was so terrified of it!

[Speaker 2] Aw a python! That's so cool! I'll tell you a secret I used to be afraid of them too. Then my best friend got a ball python and I fell in love with snakes.

[Speaker 1] Wow, that's great! Maybe I should try to get over my fear of snakes. Was your friend's python big? My brothers was about 10 feet. I know they're not venomous, but it still gave me the creeps!

[Speaker 2] He wasn't big when he got him but he grew so much. Maybe that's how I overcame my fear. When he got him he was just a little baby.

[Speaker 1] It's funny to think of a snake being a baby. LOL! That almost sounds cute! Ha! My brother got his from my uncle, so it was already really big when it came to our house. Maybe I should go to a pet store and look at the little garden snakes.

[Speaker 2] You definitely should they honestly are cute when they are so tiny.

[Speaker 1] Naw. I've a lifted 4x4 black with some sick chrome. Double smoke stacks.

[Speaker 2] Sounds cool, just not for me. Plus I would spill my starbucks in it.

[Speaker 1] Does ford even make smart cars? Gotta go ford. Trucks. Cars. All ford.

[Speaker 2] Ford? Really? I have to disagree. I'll stick with saving the environment.

[Speaker 1] Get a ford fiesta. I could not haul a deer in a smart car.

[Speaker 2] My parents would be mad if I ever killed a deer. They live next to me.

[Speaker 1] My dad taught me to hunt. Guess what kind of truck he has.

[Speaker 2] A ford. I should be a detective.

[Speaker 1] Nope, gmc because he sucks. Haha.

[Speaker 2] Haha. That is funny. Wish you were in my classes.

[Speaker 1] What are you in school for? I might become a mechanic. Ford certified of course.

[Speaker 2] That would be interesting. I am going to be a forensic psychologist.

[Speaker 1] Ya, I don't have the learning for that.

[Speaker 2] I learned from a lot of books.

I drive a 4x4.

I like Ford brand trucks.

I like to hunt.

I would like to become a certified ford mechanic.

I live next door to my parents.

I am studying to become a forensic psychologist.

I like to read.

[Speaker 1] I haved looked into programs to become a certified ford mechanic

[Speaker 2] That is good to hear. So, what is your decision now?

[Speaker 1] I will probably get the certification, as it is something I like. How about your studies in being a forensic scientist?

[Speaker 2] Actually, it is forensic psychologist. I am still on the program. When I am done with the program I'll feel fulfilled. What about you?

[Speaker 1] Oh I see! That sounds very interesting. I too hope that my certification goes well. It is something I wanted to do for a long time.

[Speaker 2] It means you want to chose it as a career. Although, I don't like Ford product but I think what you are doing is great.

[Speaker 1] It is too bad that you're not as interested as I am. The Ford products are not as bad for the environment as you might think. I hope one day I can change your mind.

[Speaker 2] Ok. I wish I don't have such feeling towards Ford products too. Well, with time, I think my perception about it might change.

[Speaker 1] I hope so! I can take you out to go hunting with me, and we can drive together in my car. It is good for you to try something new.

[Speaker 2] Wow! That will be a great experience. In fact, I believe it might change my feeling towards Ford. I look forward to that day.

[Speaker 1] Yes, that would be great! Hunting might be a bit slow though, so be sure to bring all your books and we can enjoy them while waiting. The internet connection out there is not good.

[Speaker 2] That is interesting! I will really enjoy myself that day.

I drive a 4x4. I like Ford brand trucks.

I like to hunt.

I went hunting as a kid and was taught by my dad.my dad owns a gmc truck.

I am looking into becoming a certified ford mechanic.

I live next door to my parents.

I like to read.

I don't like Ford products. I wish I didn't feel negative towards Ford products.

[Speaker 1] I just bought a new eco friendly Ford that we can take out. It might help change your opinion on Ford. I can drive you to the hunting location in the new car!

[Speaker 2] Wow. I really don't like Ford, but i really am hoping to change my mind about that. Let's do that. When are we gonna go?

[Speaker 1] Are you free this weekend, or do you have too much studying to do?

[Speaker 2] I am always doing too much studying. Forensic psychology is so tough, a crazy amount to study. But i will definitely make time this weekend to join you. What are we gonna be hunting for this time?

[Speaker 1] Well, I was actually thinking about hunting some turkey. That's what's in season around here, and I want to make sure we stay within guidelines. Have you ever hunted turkey before?

[Speaker 2] Staying within guidelines is always better, we definitely can't risk getting in trouble with the law. I actually haven't. Is it difficult to do?

[Speaker 1] It's tricky! Those turkeys are elusive sometimes. Occasionally they'll run in packs, so that makes it a little easier. Have you hunted anything at all before?

[Speaker 2] Got it. Well hopefully you learned enough skills from your dad to be able to teach me everything you know. I have been with people hunting, but this will be my first time actually participating in it.

[Speaker 1] Absolutely. My dad taught me well for sure. Was your dad a hunter at all?

[Speaker 2] No, my parents taught me more about the environment and recycling and stuff like that. He was never one to hunt animals. I love the environment too, but still hunting has always been apart of the animal kingdom, right?

[Speaker 1] Definitely. I feel like what hunters do actually helps keep the environment in equilibrium. If we had too much of any animals, they would run rampant.

[Speaker 2] Yes, i think you are completely correct. That's why i can't wait for you to teach me!

I think 2pac was brilliant.

I attended school at North Carolina U.

[Speaker 1] Have you played any basketball recently?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, we're a ways into the season now! You haven't been able to watch any ball?

[Speaker 1] I enjoy watching here and there when I have time. How is your team doing this season?

[Speaker 2] We're middle of the pack, looking to make some moves upward as things progress. Try and catch us sometime.

[Speaker 1] I will definitely try to catch a game sometime. Do you listen to a lot of music before your games?

[Speaker 2] Oh yeah, gotta stay pumped up and that's the best way for sure!

[Speaker 1] I agree, I like to listen to a lot of music throughout my day. Do you have any other favorite songs that help get you pumped up beside Keep ya Head up by 2pac?

[Speaker 2] Honestly a guilty pleasure for pump up is Get Ready 4 This. It just works for some reason! If you ever play, something upbeat like that is good.

[Speaker 1] I agree, it is energizing. Have you been back to North Carolina University since you left?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I do guest speeches a few times a year, gotta give back to my roots. When you get on your feet, try giving back, it feels great.

[Speaker 1] I am not sure how well I would do with public speaking. For you, it must helping playing in front of huge crowds.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, you sort of tune it out after getting used to it. You don't know if you don't practice though, so try!

I love 2pac's music.Rap and R&B are my favorite musical genres. My favorite song is California Love.

I enjoy watching basketball when I have time.

I like to listen to music throughout the day. I think that upbeat music is energizing.

I'm not sure how I'd do with public speaking.

I play in the NBA for the Minnesota Wolves. My team is in the middle of the pack. I make a lot of money.

Rap and R&B are my favorite musical genres. My favorite song is Keep Ya Head Up by 2pac. My guilty pleasure for a pump up is Get Ready 4 This.

I listen to music. before games to pump me up.

I went to North Carolina University.  I do guest speeches a few times a year. I'm used to huge crowds.

[Speaker 1] How was your game tonight?  Did the music get you all pumped up?

[Speaker 2] Honestly, not so good. I ended up tearing my ACL and now I'm out for the rest of the season! I've been bummed about it all day. Our team ended up winning the game though, so I have mixed emotions about it.

[Speaker 1] Oh no! Man, I'm so sorry to hear that. Isn't there anything they can do to fix it? It's only the middle of the season.

[Speaker 2] Unfortunately no. Just a bunch of rest and physical therapy. You know how much basketball means to me, I'm trying to be strong but it's hard. What's even worse is that I'm supposed to give a motivational speech tomorrow and I'm scared I'm not going to do well. What would you do if you were in my situation?

[Speaker 1] Aw man, that's tough. Can you postpone it? It doesn't really sound like the best time. Of course, you could turn it around to say that sometimes things get tough and you have to work hard and persevere and be patient. I mean, one good thing about this is you can focus more on your speaking career.

[Speaker 2] You're right, I guess I could choose either option. I feel very privileged, you know? I have a ton of money and can afford to take care of myself. It makes me feel bad for being sad about my injury. If you have free time tomorrow, I would really love if you came to the speech tomorrow for some support. We can go grab some food and drinks after, on me!

[Speaker 1] Of course. I'd be honored. Money has nothing to do with it. When something bad happens, you feel it whether you're rich or poor. I'd be happy to come over early and listen to you practice if you think that'd help. We could play some music and get you all pumped up. lol

[Speaker 2] That's so right, man you really are the best person to go to when I'm feeling down. I would love getting in some extra practice! This might sound cheesy, but I got 2pac's greatest hits on vinyl and a new record player, I've been listening to it non stop. I've been meaning to show you!

[Speaker 1] Let's do it! I've never heard 2pac on vinyl. I bet it sounds so much better than digital. What time should I come over?

[Speaker 2] It really does, it sounds way smoother and more authentic. If that makes sense? If you're able to swing by after my doctor's appointment around 10am that would be great. We don't have to be there until 2:30, so it'll give us a good amount of time for practice. My maid will be over as well so she can whip us up a really good breakfast. Do you have any requests? She can cook just about anything!

[Speaker 1] That sounds great. I'm so jealous you have a maid. What about French Toast. My mom makes terrible French Toast, but I love it. You want me to bring anything with me?

[Speaker 2] That's my favorite! She makes killer French Toast, with a little powdered sugar and strawberries too. No need to bring anything besides a water bottle in case you get thirsty later on at the event. I'll take care of the rest. Thank you so much again man, I really appreciate it.

[Speaker 1] No, I have not taken a shower yet. I just got in and am cooling down, and then I will shower. But I do not smell gross.  Why are you thinking about me showering?

[Speaker 2] Nice. Sounds like fun. I may not get anything done for the rest of the day but hey why not. It's a good thing my Dad owns the place. Seafood sound good?

[Speaker 1] yep! Don't worry we won't get tipsy. I still need to ride home. just the usual afternoon celebration!

[Speaker 1] Nothing. I do not know how. I just shut myself up.

[Speaker 2] I am sorry. You should try to garden with your mom. It may help.

[Speaker 1] I have trouble trusting people. The world feels so dark sometimes.

[Speaker 2] I see. Do you read books that are scary or happy?

I have trouble trusting people.

I am retired. I live in the countryside.

I know of a book called Freak Factor by David.

[Speaker 1] I think the Freak Factor book has helped me manage my stress better.

[Speaker 2] That's good to hear, what's the book about?

[Speaker 1] It's about building coping skills to replace stressful thoughts with calming thoughts.

[Speaker 2] That sounds really good. I get anxious and stressed a lot so I could really use a book like that. What are some of the coping skills?

[Speaker 1] Meditating and thinking of stressful thoughts like clouds and letting them float by. I thought gardening would be the way you calm yourself down though!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, usually I would garden but lately I can't because the weather has been horrible. I've just been staying in the house all day.

[Speaker 1] Oh no, what about the carrots?!

[Speaker 2] The carrots will be fine, I harvested them all before the bad weather set in. Now I need to figure out what to do with all of them. Maybe I'll make some nice carrot recipes

[Speaker 1] My mom might have some recipes for you. I can ask her to send some along if you want.

[Speaker 2] That would be nice! Does your mom grow carrots in her garden too?

[Speaker 1] I'm sure she has at some point, but I can't remember if she was growing some recently.

[Speaker 2] That's nice, I hope her garden is flourishing. There's actually a great carrot cake recipe I want to try. I can send some over to you guys once I make it

My mom has a garden.

I like working alone.

I do not know how to reduce my stress. I have trouble trusting people.

I try to make myself feel better by reading self help books. I am reading the Freak Factor book.

My favourite thing to do is gardening. My garden has carrots. Looking for some good carrot recipes. I have a carrot cake recipe I want to try.

I get anxious and stressed often.

The weather by me has been bad. I've been in the house lately.

[Speaker 1] Has the weather been better by you recently?

[Speaker 2] Not that much better in these recent times

[Speaker 1] Sorry to hear that! Have you got any seeds started inside yet? My mom has about every empty space in the house filled with seeds she's started. I guess she's really looking forward to the warm gardening weather, too!

[Speaker 2] few have even started to sprout, it is a beautiful scene to watch and your mom will be happy once they start growing

[Speaker 2] You'll change your mind if you keep watching. Any plans to see the Red hot chili peppers soon?

[Speaker 1] What did you think of the super bowl game on Sunday?

[Speaker 2] The firt quarter was exciting but then it seemed less competitive after that. Did you enjoy it?

[Speaker 1] I did! I agree though, the game did start to get a little boring after the first quarter. Have you run any marathons lately?

[Speaker 2] There is a marathon I am training for. End of May. I am looking forward to it. I know you like football, do you ever play it?

[Speaker 1] I have always wanted to, but sadly no. Have you ever played basketball?

[Speaker 2] Just for fun, I am not on a team. Have you ever thought of running in a marathon?

[Speaker 1] I'm not a huge fan of running. I have thought about doing a 5k though and just walking it.

[Speaker 2] That is a great idea! It can be such a blessing especially if you are doing that for a local fund raising event. I only enter a couple marathons a year but I try to participate in the fund raising events. The running helps me train as well as doing something benefical for others

[Speaker 1] It always feels good to help others! Have you been listening to any good music lately?

[Speaker 2] Foo Fighters, Have you heard of them?

[Speaker 1] I love the Foo Fighters! Not quite as much as The Red Hot Chili Peppers, but they still have great music!

I have been listening to the foo fighters recently. I love the song "Shame, Shame" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[Speaker 1] I listened to the song "Shame, Shame" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and I loved it too!

[Speaker 2] Oh man...I haven't heard that one yet. I will have to check it out! Do you enjoy working out to their music?

[Speaker 1] I do enjoy working out to their music, especially if I need a little extra motivation. Do you ever listen them when you run?

[Speaker 2] I haven't! I think I will listen to them on my evening run tonight. Thanks for the suggestion. Have you picked a 5k to walk in yet?

[Speaker 1] Let me know how the run goes tonight, hope you enjoy it. I saw a 5k in a neighboring city next month. I am just nervous to be the only non runner to sign up for it.

[Speaker 2] Don't worry about that! I have seen a lot of people walking even in marathons.

[Speaker 1] I may just have to stop being worried and sign up. Any pointers on getting ready to the 5k?

[Speaker 2] I agree! Go for it! I would suggest wearing comfortable shoes. If you get a new pair, definitely make sure they are broken in before the event. Otherwise, you will get some gnarly blisters!

[Speaker 1] I recently got good shoes for walking and running so I should be good there. I will probably go for a few walks before to make sure I am ready. Do you have any music suggestions for me on the 5K?

[Speaker 2] I recommend a practice 5k too! Just around your own neighborhood. That way you know you can handle the full distance. I misheard you earlier..."Shame, shame" is actually one of my favorite songs to run to.

[Speaker 1] Well that makes 2 of us! Do you have any marathons coming up?

[Speaker 2] Just the one in May! It seems so far off, but I know the date will be here before I know it. I have been practicing 4 times a week.

[Speaker 2] The brakes are worn out so I gotta take the car to the shop soon!

[Speaker 2] I've called around a few car shops!  Trying to find the cheapest option! lol

[Speaker 2] Pretty good! I have made some good dishes lately. I am going to have to increase my workouts if I keep making tasty dishes!

[Speaker 1] Of course, I need to start working out but it's a struggle for me. Do you have any recommendation in music, maybe that will help motivate me. Anything besides country and jazz music.

[Speaker 2] I usually listen to classical, or meditative music. It is great for focusing while working out.

[Speaker 1] Thanks for the suggestions, I usually listen to those kind of genres when I'm reading a good book.

[Speaker 2] I have never tried listening to music while reading. Does it make it hard to focus?

[Speaker 1] Depends, I think listening to genres like classical or meditative music. It provides a calming and relaxing vibe.

[Speaker 2] I never leave my house I order everything on the internet

[Speaker 1] Even like groceries and stuff?

I was born in Utah. I love the cold.

I like the color blue. I collect weird blue items.

[Speaker 1] I found a weird blue item while I was coming home from work.

[Speaker 2] Wow! What a jackpot. You better buy more containers, since you're going to run out of space for your collection at this rate.

[Speaker 1] Smile! What will I use containers for?

[Speaker 2] To hold all your weird blue items. You've been finding a lot recently, but eventually you're going to run out of room. In fact, you might need to purchase a whole new apartment!

[Speaker 1] Smile! That is sarcastic. Anyways, how is Maine and your preparation for Winters?

[Speaker 2] It is good, I bought so many blankets here to keep me warm. You would love it here, the snow piles high enough to go sledding on the hills.

[Speaker 1] That is cool. Had it been I am not occupied now, I would have loved to come and have vacation over there.

[Speaker 2] That's too bad. I know a restaurant here that makes amazing pizza, I'm sure that alone would be worth the visit! Is it your job that is holding you up?

[Speaker 1] Wow! I would love to have a bite of the pizza. Yes, it is my job and other personal issues.

[Speaker 2] I see, I hope that everything goes well and that you can come here sometime soon before the snow melts. What's your favorite pizza place in Texas?

[Speaker 1] Thank you. Verily, I would find a good time to be there in one winter in the future. I don't have specific restaurant for pizza.

[Speaker 2] I see, I do indeed hope that you swing by. There must not be any good pizza places in Texas. What about Utah? Are there any good pizza places there?

[Speaker 1] Just take it easy, try to reduce my stress. And enjoy this warmer weather that's coming in, though I'm sure you'll miss winter!

[Speaker 2] I will indeed, haha. I guess it does get pretty hot in Texas. Do you have a pool or anything?

[Speaker 1] Sadly not. I'd love to. Maybe one day. Do you make snowmen often up there in Maine? I've never made one!

[Speaker 2] Sometimes! Often the snow is too dry to be made into snowballs, which makes rolling a snowman more difficult. Do you ever get snow in Texas?

[Speaker 1] We did this year which was really weird. First time I've seen it since I was a kid in Utah. Now that was some good snowman making snow right there!

[Speaker 2] Yeah, Utah is different for sure. Did you go skiing as a kid there?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, I was really lucky. Have you done a lot of winter sports?

[Speaker 2] Not much. I'm more of the "stay inside and get cozy by a fire" kind of person. Haha. I think since my parents were bookworms, they passed it on to me. What do you do in Texas when it gets too hot?

[Speaker 1] Ohhhh I totally get that. As soon as the skis come off I want to be right by the fire. And when it's too hot I lay right by the AC unit, haha!

[Speaker 2] Fair enough! I've heard it can be like 110 degrees there. That sounds really hot. I would want a pool if I lived there.

[Speaker 1] I have to tell you what one of my students did!

[Speaker 2] What did your student do?  Sounds interesting.

[Speaker 1] We were talking about Christmas, one of my student announced that Santa Claus isn't real. The student I was telling you about tearfully said, “Ms. Marie, he's disrespecting my religious beliefs!”

[Speaker 2] Really?  What religious belief is believing in Santa Claus?

[Speaker 1] I was surprised too. I didn't understand if he was joking or if he was serious. Anyway the whole class started to laugh and I got along them.

[Speaker 2] How did your student react?  He must have felt bullied.  I don't know about Japan, but in America kids usually stop beliving in Santa Claus around 4th or 5th grade.

[Speaker 1] That's why I was surprised too. Also in Japan kids stop believing in Santa Claus around 4th or 5th grade. Anyway, he ended up laughing. He was clearly joking.

[Speaker 2] Oh.  I thought that he was serious.  Was this a senior prank?

[Speaker 1] I think so. But it made me laugh. So I didn't take it in a wrong way. It was so silly as much it was weird.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, teenagers can be a little weird.  What subject to you teach?

[Speaker 1] I teach art. Were you good at it when you were at school?

[Speaker 2] Yes, I like to sign to her here and there, especially if I have written something new.

[Speaker 1] If I sang to anyone, they'd run away from me as fast as they could!

[Speaker 2] I am sure you are not as bad as you think! It just takes time and a lot of patience. How is teaching art going?

[Speaker 1] I like teaching, but most of my students don't care about art very much.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any really talented artists in your class?

[Speaker 1] Not from what I've seen so far. Just a whole lot of mediocrity mixed with a heaping amount of terribleness.

[Speaker 2] Oh boy, that doesn't sound good. Do you do art outside of your workday?

[Speaker 1] I make memes on Twitter, does that count as art work? Probably not, now that I think about it.

[Speaker 2] I think that is definitely a form of art. I know I wouldn't be very good at it. Do you have any upcoming trips planned to Japan or Canada?

[Speaker 1] I'm hoping to get back to Japan this fall for my grandmother's 100th birthday....that's the plan anyways, hopefully she makes it!

[Speaker 1] Oh that must be nice. Do you like it?

[Speaker 2] It is okay, it helps pay my cell phone bill

I like super hero films.
I am an adult.
I live with my brother.
I do not currently work.

I play soccer.
I like disney movies.
I live with my mom and dad.
I am a waitress.

[Speaker 1] I recently found a job.

[Speaker 2] cool , what is it?

[Speaker 1] It's working in a warehouse for Amazon. They tell me I'll have to walk about 10 miles a day!

[Speaker 2] that's going to be a good workout!

[Speaker 1] I know, what kind of shoes do you wear at the restaurant? I need to get some comfortable ones.

[Speaker 2] I like to wear Nike running shoes

[Speaker 1] I wasn't sure if I should wear running shoes or if there was something better.

[Speaker 2] Running shoes are good, they are designed to be comfortable for long periods of time on your feet

[Speaker 1] I'm convinced. But if I hate them I'm totally going to blame you and hate you forever.

[Speaker 2] Ok, if that's how you feel then so be it.

[Speaker 1] Yep, that's how I feel. You should see how mad I get when I don't agree with an online review!

[Speaker 2] That sounds scary and I don't want to see it, but I think you'll love the running shoes and be happy with them

I like super hero films.

I am an adult.I live with my brother.

I just start working in a warehouse for Amazon.

I play soccer.

I like disney movies.

I live with my mom and dad.

I am a waitress at a restaurant. I wear nike shoes.

[Speaker 1] How is work at the restaurant going?

[Speaker 2] It's going well, except for me dropping some food on a guest. Luckily they found it funny and laughed. Do you ever have accidents in the warhouse?

[Speaker 1] Oh wow! Thank gosh they found it funny and laughed, because that could have been really bad otherwise! A lot of accidents happen at the warehouse, from boxes getting crushed, items breaking all the time, people falling off the ladders or the large machines getting peoples fingers caught. There is always something happening.

[Speaker 2] That's horrible, but I bet that keeps every day fresh and entertaining. Do you ever imagine you are a superhero and are tasked with picking up the heaviest box in the warehouse?

[Speaker 1] Oh man, you have no idea. If i could be a superhero, it would be the happiest times of my life. I would lift the heaviest items, i would fly them to other locations, i would x-ray the boxes to know what is in them. Do you ever imagine you are a Disney character?

[Speaker 2] Absolutely! Who wouldn't want to be a Disney princess? I would want to be Jasmine. I think it would be awesome to have a palace and a pet Tiger.

[Speaker 1] That would be awesome. We would be living pretty cool lives. Definitely better than dropping food on customers and breaking boxes at work! By the way, have you bought the new nike shoes yet, to help your feet at work, since you run around so much all day at work.

[Speaker 2] Not yet, I was set on getting Nike's but I think I need something more supportive of my feet. There are companies out there that do make restaurant shoes, but they are sooo ugly.

[Speaker 1] I know! I have seen a bunch of waitresses wearing the most ugly shoes and i always wonder why, but i guess that makes sense, if they are created for support purposes for restaurant workers.

[Speaker 2] I guess it comes down to function over beauty. But the place I work at is very trendy, so I need something a little more with the times.

[Speaker 1] I hear you. You don't have to wear high heels though, do you? Some places make women wear skirts and heels.

[Speaker 2] No, absolutely not, luckily. The restaurant just caters to foodie people, mostly millennial. I just need to find a pair of sneakers that seem trendy. If I had to wear heels, I would end up spilling more food on guests!

[Speaker 2] Cool, I like to be on farms in the outdoor spending time

[Speaker 1] I do as well when I am not working in computer repair

[Speaker 2] I like to eat steak and binge watch tv on a laptop

[Speaker 1] Well I spend most of my time working unfortunately

[Speaker 2] That's great that you're able to get away! What will you do?

[Speaker 1] I think I'll go visit my family's farm. I haven't seen them in a while. After that I might plan. trip to Ireland!

[Speaker 2] That's so exciting. Have you been before?

[Speaker 1] I have once, when I was a kid, but that was years ago. My mom's family is from Ireland so I feel deeply connected to it and I would love to go back

[Speaker 1] Which side of your family is from Ireland?

[Speaker 2] My mom's side. Unfortunately, I didn't get the accent. It's a bummer, I figure I'd meet more interesting people if I had an exotic accent. :) What kind of farm does your family own?

[Speaker 1] My family's farm mostly focuses on beets, although there's a handful of other vegetables that get grown as well.

[Speaker 2] Roasted beets on a salad, is one of my favorite topics. So it's a vegetable farm, no animals?

[Speaker 1] There's a couple of dogs and a few cats, but they're not for slaughter.

[Speaker 2] Do you have any upcoming trips? Being a computer repair person, it must feel good to get away from screens for a while.

[Speaker 1] Oh it definitely does. I don't have anything officially booked, but I was thinking of going to to Ireland again and checking out some of the things I missed. Have you ever wanted to visit Ireland?

[Speaker 2] I think about it a lot, but it's very expensive. I also wouldn't know what to do when I was over there. All of my family that lives there is now deceased.

[Speaker 1] I'm sorry to hear that. Life goes on though, I guess. Perhaps when you have enough saved you could time it to catch an MMA fight featuring McGregor? I'm sure he puts on an even bigger spectacle for the home crowd.

[Speaker 2] That's true. Maybe I can find a way to bike the green hills of Ireland. I really do love spending time outdoors in nature.

[Speaker 1] That would be neat as well. Sort of like a personal tour de Ireland. When you're done you could relax at the Temple Bar with some Guinness.

[Speaker 2] There will be loads of beer for sure. Isn't that the best part of visiting Ireland? Indulging in everything it has to offer?

My name is Sasha. I live in a city.

I like steak and burritos.

I am a computer repairer. I work a lot.

I love to travel. I want to get out more. I have visited Ireland once before. My mom's family is from Ireland. I love Ireland. I also like nature. I like Guiness.

I like beets on a salad.

[Speaker 1] There was a listing for a holiday in Ireland that was a great deal! I thought you and your mom could go? Maybe see the sights you wanted to.

[Speaker 2] That sounds amazing. My mom would be so shocked if I brought her on a holiday! Where did you see the deal?

[Speaker 1] On a travel site. I'll email you a link later. What would you want to do when you visit Ireland?

[Speaker 2] Definitely check out the pubs there. I don't really know what kind of tourism they have but just walking through the green landscapes would be amazing. Hiking maybe, taking photos definitely! haha Did you see any cool attractions on the website?

[Speaker 1] Yes, the travel package includes a visit to the Cliffs of Moher. It's a beautiful scenery of green cliffs by the sea, which sounds right up your alley.  I visited it myself on my trip to Ireland.

[Speaker 2] That sounds perfect! Just what I was thinking! What else did you enjoy doing when you went? If I end up booking this I have to have it planned perfect for my mom!

[Speaker 1] There are quite a few attractions around that part of Ireland. Let me think. What does your mom like doing?

[Speaker 2] She's become pretty Americanized since living here and doesn't really talk about her time in Ireland, so nothing nostalgic to pull on. She loves doing her nails, going to salons or spas, but she also has a risk-taking side. Maybe I could convince her to do bungee jumping or something haha!

[Speaker 1] That would be amazing!  There are so many hikes you can go on in Ireland, but I'm not sure if there are any bungee jumping there. I would never go on one myself!

[Speaker 2] Haha! I'm pretty sure she would just settle for a free trip and touring the land. She's really laid back and always grateful for anything that comes her way! Would you consider coming with us? My mom would love to meet you.

[Speaker 1] Do you have or know any one who can do that?

[Speaker 2] No sorry, my friends are all dancers too.

[Speaker 1] So, do you dance in a group or you can do individual performance as well?

[Speaker 2] Both, I do solos. I study dance in college. This is my third year.

[Speaker 1] That is good because I'll need you in a short time to come

[Speaker 2] Do you have any pets?

[Speaker 1] Can you join me and I sing normally on wedding partys.

[Speaker 2] Sure sounds fun. I have a dog, named socks.

I would like you to dance soon.
My friends are college boys.

I am a ballet dancer.
My friends are dancers.
I'm in my third year of college.

[Speaker 1] I just got a call from a couple who is to be married next month and they want me to sing at their wedding. I'm so excited!

[Speaker 2] Oh wow, that's great! I'm so happy for you! What songs are you going to sing?

[Speaker 1] I haven't decided yet.  I am meeting with the couple tomorrow to go over the song selection.

[Speaker 2] If I ever get married, I'm going to hire you and make you do all the songs from that Adam Sandler "Wedding Singer" movie. It will be great!

[Speaker 1] Lol!  It would be fun.  You can do a dance number at my wedding!  I wish the couple would have called me sooner, so last minute.

[Speaker 2] Isn't that unusual? When my best friend got married, she planned that thing out for like nine months! It was crazy how much planning she did!

[Speaker 1] Yeah it is unusual.  But they are paying me double.  Their original singer cancelled.  I can adapt but the I gained some weight that I need to lose quick.  Too much beer and pizza with my frat brothers.

[Speaker 2] Maybe try going on a keto diet? No carbs, but apparently it'll help you drop weight fast.

[Speaker 1] Sounds interesting.  Have you tried it before?

[Speaker 2] For a little while. I had bad carb cravings the whole time, but I could eat all the meat and cheese that I wanted, so it wasn't too bad. I have to watch my weight pretty closely because of the ballet career though.

[Speaker 1] Being slim is important for the ballerina.  I will have to look into this diet.  I'll just pick the cheese and pepperoni off the pizza and leave the crust, lol!

[Speaker 2] That will definitely help. Unfortunately you have to cut out the beer too, which is why I'm a rum and tequila drinker.

My friends are college boys.

I am also not married. I have recently gained weight.  I am in a fraternity. I like beer and pizza.

I am a ballet dancer.

My friends are dancers.

I'm in my third year of college.

[Speaker 1] I've been thinking about songs to sing at a wedding, and I'd like your opinion on my song list.

[Speaker 2] Sure, are you looking for something romantic or something fun for the whole group?

[Speaker 1] both. it's always good to switch it up and keep things interesting.

[Speaker 2] Well if you're trying to kill two birds with one stone, you could do the cha cha slide, just a little bit slower than usual.

[Speaker 1] I do that one often already. I'm looking for something a little less common.

[Speaker 2] You're really putting me on the spot here lol. I'm only 21, honestly mostly listen to Bad Guy by Billie Eilish all day.

[Speaker 1] well I don't think that would be too appropriate to sing at a wedding!! I was hoping you could help me figure out what is new and in now.

[Speaker 2] I think if I were the wedding DJ I'd just play Build Me Up Buttercup on repeat and hit the food table.

[Speaker 1] haha oh, I'm sure my clients would love that and recommend me to all their friends and family.

[Speaker 2] That's when you hit them with Let's Twist Again by Chubby Checker and they'll forget all about it.

[Speaker 1] that's great advice. ;) I'm just not sure I'm going to take it. lol

[Speaker 2] Yeah I mostly spend my time at the bar anyways. Sometimes I go to weddings of people I don't even know.

My friends are college boys.

I sing Cha Cha Slide often. I'd like to sing something uncommon.I don't think Bad Guy would be appropriate to sing at a wedding. I don't think I will play Build Me Up Buttercup on repeat at the wedding.

I am 21. I'm in my third year of college.

I am not married.  I like music from the movie "The Wedding Singer.". I like Bad Guy by Billie Eilish. I listen to Bad Guy all day. I would play Build Me Up Buttercup if I were a wedding DJ.

I have tried the keto diet.  I watch my weight carefully. I don't drink beer. I drink rum and tequila. I drink at the bar at weddings. I am a wedding crasher and attend strangers weddings.

[Speaker 1] Ok, I have taken your advice and I've been practicing my Billie Eilish. I think I will attempt to sing one of her songs at the wedding...but probably not Bad Guy. Also, I think we should crash a wedding together when I'm not working one. It will be crazy!

[Speaker 2] Billie Eilish has a lot of great songs you could choose from. And we could definitely crash a wedding together. Would any of your friends want to go too?

[Speaker 1] Yes! I talked to my friends from college and we decided on a plan. I will sing at this next wedding party during the day and then crash the wedding that will happen after that one! Are you interested?

[Speaker 2] Sure, I'd love to go! I could pretend to be your date. I've done that before. Hopefully it has an open bar so I can cash in on the rum and tequila

[Speaker 1] We need to wear matching outfits then! I'm feeling the colors black and purple. I will definitely be taking advantage of the open bar too!

[Speaker 2] Black and purple would work for me. I have a bunch of different outfits that I rotate through for different weddings. Where is this wedding?

[Speaker 1] You must be such a skilled wedding crasher! What tips do you have? It will be downtown, about 30 minutes from us. I can come pick you up!

[Speaker 2] Wedding crasher is easier than you might think. It's important to dress well and look like you fit in. Early on, it's smart to get to know a few people at the wedding so that the hosts see you talking to other guests. It's best not to get too drunk or draw too much attention to yourself. Be sure your friends know not to be too rambunctious!

[Speaker 1] Those are excellent tips and I will be sure to let them know. Should we all spread out and talk to as many of the guests as we can in the beginning?


I once met a man I still believe was a vampire.

My mom is a palm reader in new orleans.

I love hanging out with my friends.

I sometimes spend too much money at the casino.

I enjoy reading and walking on sunny days.

I am musical.
I have a positive attitude.
I lie pop.

[Speaker 1] Hi, I met a real life vampire, so I think

[Speaker 2] Is that possible? The lumineers might help you they are my favorite band.

[Speaker 1] I guess.. My mom reads palms for a living and she knows her stuff

[Speaker 2] Looks like your mom is a happy person like me.

[Speaker 1] I wish I was happy but I spend all my cash at the casino

[Speaker 2] Why? You can enjoy reading like me and walking together with me.

[Speaker 1] Reading??? No... Taking a nice walk, yes lol

[Speaker 2] If you want I can sing you anything that you want.

[Speaker 1] I like opera music and r b

[Speaker 2] I love rap music my favorite artist is jay z

[Speaker 1] S o do you work?

[Speaker 2] Yes but I resigned because my boss is bad

[Speaker 1] Oh wow!! I work with my friends at a hospital

[Speaker 2] That good I love hospital the smell of it wants me to go back.

[Speaker 1] The hospital isn't very pleasant

[Speaker 2] Why? I think hospital is the place I want to go

I met a real vampire.

My mom is a palm reader.

I am not a happy person. I spend all my money at the casino.

I do not like reading. I do like walking.

I like opera and R&B music.

I work at a hospital.

The Lumineers are my favorite band.

I am a happy person.

I like reading and walking.

I like rap music. My favorite artist is Jay Z.

I resigned from my job.

I love the hospital.

[Speaker 1] Would you like to go on a walk with me today?

[Speaker 2] I would love to go for a walk.  Would you want to walk to the hospital you work at and show me around?

[Speaker 1] Oh that's a great idea! There's also a park across the street that we can walk around after I show you around the hospital.

[Speaker 2] That sounds great!  What kind of park is it?  I love the kinds that have a lot of nature to enjoy instead of playgrounds.

[Speaker 1] That's exactly what it is! There's a lake in the center with a fountain and a walking trail that goes around it. There are also some beautiful flower gardens. I think that you will like it a lot.

[Speaker 2] This park sounds fantastic, is it your favorite park?  I hope it's not where you met that vampire though!

[Speaker 1] It's definitely one of my favorite parks, not my absolute favorite, but one of the best. Definitely not where I met the vampire. Shockingly, I actually met him at the casino.

[Speaker 2] My favorite park is one of the national parks in Washington when I go to visit.  I want to move there one day!  Wow!  The casino is the last place I'd expect to see a vampire!  Was he nice?

[Speaker 1] He was actually a dealer and was really nice. Washington would be a great place to move to. There are tons of great national parks. What part of the state is your favorite park located in?

[Speaker 2] I hope he didn't bite you and turn you!  The Mount Rainier National Park is my favorite, I love to go skiing there.  Have you ever been?

[Speaker 1] Luckily he didn't bite me, that would've been my luck. I've never been to Mount Rainier National Park, but I've heard of it. I don't enjoy skiing, so don't think I would like it as much, but I'm glad you enjoy it.

[Speaker 2] He just took all your money instead!  There are a lot of trails there too for walking.  It's really beautiful and worth a visit even if you don't like to ski.  I haven't gone skiing since last year because I had a minor accident last time.

I met a real vampire. I think the vampire was nice. I did not get bit by a vampire.

My mom is a palm reader.

I do not like reading. I like walking.

I like opera and R&B music.

I work at a hospital.

I do not live in Washington. I do not like to ski.  I have never been to Mount Rainer National park.

The Lumineers are my favorite band.

I like reading and walking.

I resigned from my job.

I love the hospital.

I like to walk.

I don't want to meet a vampire.

[Speaker 1] I have to work late and can't make our walk appointment!

[Speaker 2] Oh no! That's ok. Is everything good? Hope nothing went wrong at work.

[Speaker 1] Eveything is okay, I'm just behind on the project due this week and I can't dissapoint my boss! Maybe we can rearrange as I was looking forward to the walk

[Speaker 2] Cool cool. We can fit something in. I'll be thinking about you while on my walk! Ha! But hope you get caught up. No one likes to be behind. What day is good for you?

[Speaker 1] I ould do Friday if that works with you? We are still going to Mount Rainer National park right? I was looking forward to being shown around there by a regular like yourself.

[Speaker 2] Of course! I'm looking forward to sharing it with you. I think I can do Friday. How long are you in town for?

[Speaker 1] I am over this way for a couple of weeks as I am staying at my mums house. I don't get to see her often. Does all the walking help with your leg after the Skiing accident?

[Speaker 2] Just keeping the blood moving helps. The pain associated with it is just part of life now. It's normal. Being inactive hurts more than anything! How is your Mom?

[Speaker 1] Thst doesnt sound ideal. Is there not anything you can do to help ease the pain for the future? She's keeping well the palm reading business keeps her busy still

[Speaker 2] I am always looking for ways to calm the pain, but having some pain is just what happens when you get hurt sometimes. I'm ok with it. Meet any interesting vampires lately?

[Speaker 1] I can always take a look at it when we meet up for the walk, it is my job afterall! haha that was a one time thing which I don't think I will get the opportunity for again unfortunately.

[Speaker 2] I guess thats a good thing. I don't need to meet one. Hearing about it from a distance is as close as I need to get. Think your Mom can read my palm and tell me how likely I am to avoid them?

My mom is a palm reader.

I do not like reading. I like walking.

I like opera and R&B music.

I work at a hospital. I'm working on a project at work for my boss.

I'm visiting my mom. My mom has a palm reading business.

The Lumineers are my favorite band.

I am a happy person.

I like reading and walking.

I resigned from my job.

I love the hospital.

I like to walk.

I don't want to meet a vampire.

I like a national park in Washington. I visit Washington.  I want to move there. Mount Rainier National Park is my favorite park.  I like to ski. I had an accident while skiing. I enjoy being active.

[Speaker 1] How is your leg feeling?

[Speaker 2] My leg's feeling okay. I think I'm going to put off skiing for a while, though.

[Speaker 1] Yeah good idea. Are you going to any concerts to pass the time?

[Speaker 2] I probably will. I wonder if there are any concerts where I can see the Lumineers and Jay Z in one go, but I doubt it.

[Speaker 1] Yeah those are opposite genres for sure. Maybe at a big festival like Lollapalooza or something.

[Speaker 2] Yeah, that could be a possibility. But I probably can't travel too much because of my leg. Oh well, I'll just chill at home for the next few months. How's your job been going, by the way?

[Speaker 1] Pretty good. I'm almost done with that project thank God. It was a lot of work.

[Speaker 2] Oh, excellent. What sort of job do you work at the hospital? Admin? Medical billing? Scribe? Nurse? Physician?

[Speaker 1] Just admin. I wish I was a doctor so I'd have more money to lose at the casino! There's one here by my mom

[Speaker 2] Haha! Have you considered picking up some other hobby? 'Cause I have to be honest with you, I don't think losing money at the casino is a great idea.

[Speaker 1] Yeah I know. I'm just so depressed all the time, it's the only thing that gets me going. Nothing like an exciting craps game to make you forget your troubles you know? You've never gambled?

[Speaker 2] I have, a few times. It's not my thing, though. Why play a game with a negative expected value, where you know you'll lose in the long run? Might as well set your money on fire, right?

I like cookies.
I am a student.
I also like ice cream.

[Speaker 1] Oh nice! I'm bad at tennis haha I like to cook and paint though

[Speaker 2] I'd love to learn how to paint. Seems very relaxing.

[Speaker 1] It can be. I'm actually going to school for painting

[Speaker 2] I dated a guy once who was going to art school. He was a pompous jerk

[Speaker 1] Haha many people in my program are jerks. Are you a student?

[Speaker 2] Yes. Majoring in nothing yet. I do like photography though.

[Speaker 1] I love art like painting and photography. Almost as much as I love cookies

[Speaker 2] Oh I love cookies too! When I go to the mall I stop at the cookie shop

[Speaker 1] Do you ever get an ice cream sandwich cookie? I love ice cream too

[Speaker 2] I go to the mall to get ice cream as well! I probably should stop

[Speaker 1] Sometimes you have to treat yourself

[Speaker 2] I like your outlook on life, thank you!

[Speaker 1] So what else do you like besides going to the mall? Haha

[Speaker 2] I like signing with other deaf people. It s nice to be free that way

I am not good at tennis. I like to cook and paint.

I go to school for painting.

I used to have a boyfriend who went to art school.

[Speaker 1] I just painted something I'm really proud of. I'll send you a picture.

[Speaker 2] That's great. What did you paint?

[Speaker 1] I painted a picture of cookies and ice cream. I was inspired by last night's dessert. Do you like dessert?

[Speaker 2] Yeah, especially cookies! Is it an oil painting or a watercolor?

[Speaker 1] Oil painting. I love watercolor too, but wasn't in the mood for it. Tell me more about your photography!

[Speaker 2] I do landscapes, mostly. I used to go hiking with my old boyfriend and he introduced me to photography.

[Speaker 1] That sounds fun! Glad you got a nice hobby out of the relationship.

[Speaker 2] Yeah. I still miss him sometimes - maybe I should have taken up portrait photography too, so I'd have more mementos of him!

[Speaker 1] Why did you break up? Any chance maybe you would get back together?

[Speaker 2] He got the chance to go study art in Europe, and I couldn't go with him because of my job. Maybe he'll come back some day.

[Speaker 1] You never know. The future may bring you back again!

[Speaker 2] I hope so. In the meantime still have good friends like you - that counts for a lot!

I broke up with my ex since he got the chance to go study art in Europe and I can't go with him.

[Speaker 1] I have painted another picture.

[Speaker 2] You are such a talented artist. What is it like? I can't wait to see it. Can you describe it to me?

[Speaker 1] It is a beautiful, serene meadow with wildflowers, and a creek running behind it. There is a cave in the mountain that the meadow is on that has shiny gems that you can see from the angle of the sunlight. There are a few hidden creatures that you really have to look for, and pine trees.

[Speaker 2] That sounds beautiful, like some of the scenes I photograph when I am hiking. Do you paint from your photos or your imagination?

[Speaker 1] I actually went and hiked all weekend. I used what I saw and added to it.

[Speaker 2] It was a great weekend for hiking. Did you use oil paint or watercolor this time?

[Speaker 1] Oil paint. It always works better for me on the more realistic scenes! I think  you would really like it. I am kind of wanting to keep this one.

[Speaker 2] Have you shown it to your teacher yet? Maybe you can enter it in that art show you were telling me about that is coming up at your school.

[Speaker 1] I could but I am really kind of nervous about entering. I thought I was ready. Do you think I should?

[Speaker 2] Definately, you have natural talent. I'm sure your teacher would agree, she is always complimenting your work. Have you been learning any new techniques in class?

[Speaker 1] I did learn how to start doing basic portraits by focusing on the whole and not the individual features. And I have started on learning how to properly use charcole.

[Speaker 2] Do you have anyone in mind you want to draw for your first assignment?

I made a detailed landscape painting. I hike and sometimes paint things that I see.

I play tennis.

I love cookies.

I like to sign with other deaf people.

I like cookies.

I am a photographer. I like hiking.

[Speaker 1] Have you taken any new photographs on your recent hikes?

[Speaker 2] Yes! I actually took some this past weekend while hiking. There was the most beautiful waterfall so I had to stop and take some pictures!

[Speaker 1] That's great. I'd like to see them soon. I have got homework to do right now

[Speaker 2] Oh of course! I'm gonna upload them later tonight and I can send you the link.

[Speaker 1] Thanks a lot. Maybe i can paint some of your photos. Maybe you should major in photography.

[Speaker 2] That would be awesome. I'd love that. I have often thought about doing that. It's so enjoyable to me.

[Speaker 1] Is it hard to learn sign language? I have always wanted to know how to. I think it's an amazing skill.

[Speaker 2] I don't think so. It just takes a lot of practice. I learned mainly by pictures and posters of it.

[Speaker 1] That's amazing. Are you still in touch with your ex? you're still friends right?

[Speaker 2] Eh, we talk occasionally and I feel no ill will toward them, but I've been hiking and taking pics so much I've been too busy to really hang out or anything.

[Speaker 1] Ok.. We should hike together. I'll bring the cookies

[Speaker 2] I like action movies. Yes, my favorite director is Quentin Tarantino. What's your favorite treat to bake?

[Speaker 1] That's interesting. I like to bake anything really, but I am more fond of baking cupcakes especially for the elderly. When you see the happiness on their faces after baking for them and treating them with it, then it makes me day.

[Speaker 2] That's so sweet. It's such a great thing you're doing by bringing joy to their days like that. What motivated you to start doing that?

[Speaker 1] Thank you. Well, since I work at a grocery store, I always encounter elderly people. Usually, they do come all by themselves, and are so alone. So, I just thought to myself why not do something special for them to make them feel special. So, I just decided thereon.

[Speaker 1] I have really thought about our conversation last week, and I have decided that I am going to start a non-profit that specializes in reaching out to the elderly in my community.

[Speaker 2] That is a great idea! You have so many different talents that will help you succeed with that.

[Speaker 1] Thanks! How's the store been recently?

[Speaker 2] It is doing well. Well enough that I have been able to fix my Civic.

[Speaker 1] Aw that's great news, I know having it off the road had been getting to you. Any plans to take it anywhere soon, maybe get some climbing in whilst the weather is still quite nice?

[Speaker 2] I went on a climb yesterday. It was really nice, but exhausting. Since the car was broken down, I haven't been able to climb in a while and am out of shape.

[Speaker 1] Yeah that's tough, at least you can get back into it now though. I've been doing so much baking recently, and then eating, that I'm really feeling out of shape too, if it helps.

[Speaker 2] Have you made some good cupcakes lately?

[Speaker 1] Yeah, yesterday actually. I tried red velvet as I hadn't made them before. They were delicious, but chocolate is still my favourite for sure. You should try baking sometimes, it might help you relax!

[Speaker 2] That sounds delicious! I like chocolate as well. However, I am quite hopeless at baking. I will have to buy my treats.

[Speaker 1] That's okay, if you enjoy doing it you'll get better the more you do it. Although buying treats is just as enjoyable!

[Speaker 2] I think I will stick with buying them! How is your garden doing?
