Hello, Aubrey. How's it going today? I'm great, Lindsay. I have a question. Yeah. Do you have any errands you need to run today? Oh, errands I need to run. I need to get more coffee. I'm out of coffee and I don't like waking up without coffee. So that's what I need to do. Yes. you got to grab some coffee while you're out.

Grab some coffee. I have so many things I need to buy and I need to return something, an Amazon purchase.

So I need to get that done.

I have a few errands.

But I intentionally was asking you something to try and use all of the ways we say buy or grab or get, right? There's a lot of different ways we say this.

This is going to be interesting today. We don't say buy that often. We use all these other words

for it. Yeah. So casual ways of saying buy, right? If you say buy all the time, you're going to

sound like a textbook and we are not here to

sound like a textbook, right?
