We won't dining in Goleta on Jan 31 nor on Feb 1.

We won't be there on a Saturday.

I can eat cereal with orange juice.  It's not out of the ordinary for me.

Again, I can work around that, especially if you have pickles.

Sounds perfect.

I assume Noelle told you that she'll be making at your place, thus using
up space in your small refrigerator.

Sounds fine.

MIZZA, yes.

We'll be leaving on Friday, so anything on 1/31 onwards will not involve
us.  Sounds like you'll be having a lot of fun.

OK.  I hope that they took an inventory of the types of media you already
have, e.g., video tapes, records, DVDs, or CDs, and the computer network
you have before making recommendations.
