OMGOMGOMG *FLAILS*

Today at work I was checking a customer out..she paid with a credit card, and I saw her last name was Cherry. I couldn't help saying "oh my gosh!" to myself lol, and she was like "what?" I told her there was a famous explorer I like with that name, and I expected her to look at me like I was insane or something, but I didn't expect THIS: "oh, Apsley Cherry-Garrard? I'm distantly related to him! My grandma used to tell me stories about him"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!
OMG
OMG
NO WAY

I completely freaked out and just stood there in awe LOL. A distant relative of Cherry lives in Fairbanks, Alaska!??! What are the chances of that?? She said she had read The Worst Journey in the World and Sarah Wheeler's biography of him, and that her grandparents had gone to Antarctica. OMG. She must have seen how shocked I was, because she was like "I hope you don't have to use your brain now" LOL. Wow! I went back to tell Denise ("you'll never believe who I just saw!!!") and she said I HAD to call mom because I was just vibrating and she didn't want me to explode LOL (I was literally walking around in circles haha!). Mom was disappointed I didn't get her phone number lol..I hope she comes in again so we can talk more! That is absolutely amazing and completely made my day..wow!
