I thought I should check in, finally. The whole password fiasco turned me off to the whole blogging thing. Reading, fine, posting, too much work.
So, in the scriptures, God is referred to with many attributes: God of love, mercy, justice, power, omnipotence, etc. But they forgot to mention a God of irony. This has been manifested in my life yet again, as I have been called to be the Enrichment Counselor. I know I have joked many times that this would probably happen to me, since I don't really like enrichment. I felt completely safe in saying this, even knowing about the omni-ironicness, because SURELY God loves the rest of the Relief Society more than he loves making a point to me about keeping my mouth shut. Apparently I was wrong. And apparently I am about to embark on a "growing" phase in my life. Actually, I got the calling before we left for our vacation, but I didn't want to tell anyone because I was sure they'd realize soon that they were actually supposed to call and ask me to GO to enrichment. Ah, well. It seems to be for real. If your RS has any activities that are working well, please send me ideas.
In other news, we just excavated a 6" deep pit in our kitchen during what was supposed to be a quick and simple change of tile in front of the fireplace. Every time Grace walks by, she says, "Daddy BIIIG mess!" And I don't bother to explain that Daddy made that big mess at my request and cursed my name when we discovered the cavern.
So, I just have to say that I am totally addicted to Gilmore Girls. I knew that you liked them, Annie, but I had seen a few episodes and found them boring and annoying. But a friend here also loves them, and so I decided that it must be worth another try. I was in need of a new show to tivo and watch while I fold laundry. So, I suffered through 4 or 5 episodes, and suddenly found myself thinking about them all the time. "When can I watch? Can I get 2 episodes in during Grace's nap? Should I do dishes first? No." I like the long-term relationships, like the mother-daughter bond, and now Logan is on the scene, I like him. It's just a great alternate reality, and a great mix of bitter and sweet. So, Alisa, if you need to find a way to fritter away an hour a day, check your ABCfamily channel for reruns TWICE a day!

Alisa is not a fan of GG. She's made this loud and clear. And since then, our friendship has forever changed. Ok, not really but I think Julie and I agree that Alisa, you're totally missing out. I used to be a hater (or "hata", if I was really cool), too. But then my Dad made me see the light. And since then, I have converted many a female (and a couple of males) to seeing the light. You are not untouchable, you are not immune to the witty banter and whimsical characters that Stars Hollow has to offer you. Do not deny them. Doing so may be detrimental to your well being. Ok, I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. Bottom line is, if you gave it a whole hearted chance, I know you'd like it. It's funny. There you go.
ANYWHO, Julie. Enrichment Councelor. Look at you go. You will do great. The good thing about being E.C. now is that you get to plan Enrichments that you'd actually WANT to attend. And sorry, I don't have any ideas for you. My current ward is majorally lacking in exciting Enrichments big time. But really, what makes an Enrichment exicting? You'll have to let us know.
So are you guys putting in new tile? Why the hole?
The prodigal blogger has returned! Wow, it's nice to hear your voice, or see your type, whatever.
You girls should know I was a devoted GG fan for 3+ seasons, thinking that the scripts and acting would improve with time. I was patient and forgiving - seventy times seven - and then I forsook them. End of story.
Julie, you'll make a great enrichment counselor. I dread that calling too, I hope there's not a pattern: Primary chorister...Enrichment counselor. Actually, Haley Browning is the enrichment counselor in her CA ward, I should get you girls in touch via email. Okay, one of my favorite activities over the past year has been "72-hour-kit" night. I'll email you the details. Also, a service auction, but with a much better format than I've seen before. Again, with the email promise.
In other news. I miss you. I wish I heard more news from your neck of the woods. I actually dreamed last night that the six of us went camping (sans kids) and shared a giant tent. Good fun, though slightly uncomfortable at times :) I'll spare you the details.
Okay, that's enough rambling. Keep the posts coming and pictures too.
