Vacation

Somebody's Mother and I went on a quick girls' weekend. It was WONDERFUL and relaxing and just fabulous. And look how gorgeous!

Jealous?

Primary Tidbit

Funny conversation from primary today, as I sat and watched the other teacher for my class from the back:

Teacher: Ok, so what happens after resurrection?

Student 1: (enthusiastically) FINAL JUDGEMENT!

(They all love that one for some reason...)

Teacher: That's right! And then where do we go?

Student 2: Well, there's the one that's like something, and then the moon and the stars.

Teacher: Exactly--the kingdoms like the sun, moon, and stars. What are they called?

Student 3: Celestial, terrestrial...

Teacher: Well, there's telestial next, and then...

Student 3: Um, choles...cholesterol...

Pretty sure we all know where I'm going...

Old Age

Today, in the primary class I was teaching, I used the word "dude" once to get the attention of one of the kids.

Another student replied "Old people can't say dude!"

I told her that I had been saying "dude" since long before she was born. She repeated her sentiment, saying that I just couldn't say that.

My reply: "Watch me."

Everything You Ever Wanted

I'm having such a Dr. Horrible-esque evening.

Sometimes, when you get the things you thought you wanted, you find out that there are a lot of strings attached.

Sigh.

Anybody have some scissors?

Relationship Trouble

I'm having a serious problem in my most important relationship. Those who know me well know that I'm not really one to talk about my private life, but this is just something that I need to share with someone.

Like most relationship problems, it really all boils down to communication issues. I suppose that most people have trouble really communicating what is going on and when they really need something, and I suppose that things are no different for us.

It's easy to let things fester, to leave unsaid the tiny things that are troubling you, and ignore the underlying problem.

I wish that things were different. I wish that the problem wasn't so frustrating and seemingly unsolvable. If only my side could be seen...

I mean, really, how hard is it for my MacBook to tell me when it has a low battery? Just a small pop up, a tiny warning that it's about to shut itself down? It used to warn me, and now, out of nowhere, it just stopped doing it! Come on, MacBook--communicate. Tell me when things aren't okay, and I'll try to fix them. You just shut down without warning when I'm trying to do things. This is seriously the only problem we've ever had! I love everything about my MacBook--why all this trouble now? Two and a half years into our relationship, and this is what I get?

Better keep an eye on that battery meter...you never know when I'll have to run and find a power source...

(Ten bonus points to everyone who KNEW that this post was going to be about a piece of electronic equipment right from the beginning.)

Things Not to Do

Here are some things I should not do in public:

• Eat
• Walk
• Talk
• Text

Aren't you jealous that you didn't get to see all of the reasons why this is the case? Too bad for you--I save my best awkward moments for total strangers and coworkers...
