Surprise Missionary Fireside

I got an email asking me to open the attachment and "HELP!" I'd been invited to join in on a youth missionary fireside, where I would speak for maybe 5 minutes about my mission and either share a funny story or a spiritual story. Dang. Do I really have to choose? There will be others sharing stories as well. And they asked us to send in 1 picture they will place on the projection screen while we speak. Well, I never replied because we had talked about visiting my husband's family this month.

Out of nowhere, I got an email asking where my picture was. So I didn't have a choice. Which is fine, I sometimes like being bossed around, ask my big sister! ;)

So here are my photo options I've given. Even though they said only 1 picture, I decided I'd send two and they could surprise me. I have a bunch of pictures elsewhere and glued and cut up (as if I'll ever finish that mission scrapbook, Amber!) I figured everyone gives the usual before baptism picture, so I wanted something that would bring a smile or maybe add character, since I don't have a forgeign language to share or a "dress caught in the pantyhose" story.

Here Sister B and I were at a birthday party. It was June and there flies everywhere. Sis. B couldn't handle it, so she put us to work while others were eating cake and opening presents. It was a good time. Those flies didn't know what was coming.


And here we are again. I think this one speaks for itself. I can't look at this picture without laughing. Possibly one of my favorites.

So now, which one would you choose? I think the flyswatter picture is a little dark, but I do love them both. I'll let you know which one surprises me tomorrow night. Hopefully they won't have to give me the your-two-minutes-are-up light!

Col. Sanders Strikes Again

I was wondering where in the world (literally and figuratively) I'm getting views, so I decided to check my blog stats. Good news, When doing a google search for Col. Sanders, evidently my blog comes up because I found it hilarious that my husband thought Col. Sanders was fictional and I chose to blog about it.

So friends from around the world, please feel free to continue dropping by, comment, (in whatever language you speak) and visit again soon. Cause really, fried chicken unites us all.

Thursday?

Man, all day yesterday I thought it was Thursday. Even though I watched my Wednesday shows last night, I still woke up this morning thinking "FRIDAY!" But, I'm wrong. I guess that gives me an extra day to get my house ready for the weekend. Yep, that's what I'll do. Hope you have a productive day.
