By now, you have probably read about Harp's pizza party last weekend.....we all love Harp, and now we know when she plans a party it is going to ROCK!!  Blogger Stephan (pronounced "Stef-FAUN") knew that Harp loves Spongebob, and that Spongebob lives in a pineapple.....so Stephan had this fresh pineapple shipped to him all the way from Hawaii, intending to take it to the party.  Well, it didn't work out for him to go, so he gave it to me yesterday and asked if I could help get this pineapple to Farmington!!

Thus began the saga of The Pineapple.....

I knew that kk_mom was going to Desloge tonight, which is near Farmington.  Jeanette agreed to meet kk_mom there, get the pineapple, and take it to Harp.  Then kk_mom called  me today and one of her children had a fever....so she wasn't  going anywhere tonight.  I called Jeanette and she said her husband Truman worked at the prison in Pacific and I could take it out there. 

Out I drive, pineapple in tow, to the prison.  I walked in with this huge pineapple box (it says on the side "Fresh Pineapple from Hawaii" and has a big picture on it).  As I'm walking in, I felt like everyone was looking at me....even the sharpshooter who stood up in that high tower, waiting for a prisoner to try to escape.  It occurred to me that the pineapple box probably looked like some clever disguise that was really hiding something bad, like a bomb!  OMG, I was freaking myself out and feeling so nervous!!  I went inside and up to the desk....three police officers with big guns were  looking at me suspiciously and I'M STANDING THERE WITH A PINEAPPLE BOX!!  I felt ridiculous, but finally asked for Truman and before I could say why, one of them asked me "Is that a pineapple in that box?"  And I say "well yes, it IS a pineapple".  Because isn't that what you're supposed to take when you visit a prison?  Doesn't everyone take pineapples to prison??  :)

Harp, I hope you LOVE this pineapple!  Stephan was so sweet to put this kind of thought into a gift for you.  And I realized today that most of the bloggers here would do just about anything for you!!  You are SO LOVED!  Post a picture of yourself with your pineapple later, okay?
