Weekend

Another weekend has passed and I have nothing application related to show for myself. Crap. There were a few highlights, though.

1. Downstairs bathroom= finally painted respectably and has proper hardware/fixtures (There are a few little things to touch up but you don't see purple around the fixtures and through the first layer of paint. My mother is not a painter and it has been obvious to everyone who has used that bathroom since July. Whoops.)

2. The idea of doing yoga teacher training has become very appealing and now I am seriously considering that addition to my list of random-sauce skills.

3. Waffles tonight at the Hugheszabawas with the Hathawastills. We always laugh so hard I think I might cry- sometimes I do. Thank goodness I burned off some of those calories, I had a very bad eating day today- waffles, cookies, cheese, pasta, chocolate chips, and whipped cream. Roll me over.

4. I played with my amazing nieces. They have recently acquired a hamster which they call Tito Horatio Bandaras- that's right, he is Latin. (Insert Salsa Music) When Scott brought him out from the cage while Emily (the 3 year old) was eating pineapple sherbet, I requested that she wash her hands before she touched the rodent(in order to keep the stickiness and the fur from mixing.) She stood in front of me with her palms up, flipped them upside down, and proceeded to wipe her dirty hands on my skirt. Then she stuck her face into the bowl with her hands behind her back and started lapping up the cold dessert like a dog. I guess that is what I get for being an OCD clean freak. Heaven help me if I have my own children, I can't handle pets, the food getting everywhere and the sticky hands. Yet I feel the same way about kids that I do about domestic animals: drawn uncontrollably to them, but my body has an adverse reaction when I hang around them for too long. Maybe it is best this way.

5. Primary Presentation Sunday!- That is right, small children, so dang cute you can hardly stand it, saying hilarious things over the microphone. Some of the highlights are as follows: one kid shouting into the mic about the importance of reverent voices, a girl who was getting prompted by the teacher quoting what was fed into her ear saying, "Repeat after me," and another kid announcing, "We are grateful for the revolutions of the prophet Joseph Smith." AMEN.
