My Community...

I actually don't want to answer today's question either...mostly because I don't want to offend anyone in my community! (actually because I can't think of 3 things I love about it) So I'm not answering, and am too lazy to find another topic for today.

Today has been a weird day.

I had two work nightmares last night that gave me a weird vibe. Then our work meeting was different. Then the conversation after 1:30 was odd too.

Then a comment someone made kind of upset me...mostly because it's true...but it still bothers me, because it's something I'm working on.

So then I decided to finally take down our Christmas tree. I may or may not have had a meltdown when Greg wanted to take it down Saturday. It went by way too fast. WAY TOO FAST! I hate that we don't have any more fun holidays for a while. I vote that there should be a holiday every single month.

Also, One Direction. Kind of love them at the moment. I'm not usually a fan of guys in skinny jeans, but these boys....I kind of dig it! (And they are all legal, so I can say stuff like that!) Harry's hair kills me. There's just a lot of it...but he's a cute kid and has a killer voice. But I have to say that Zayn is the hottie of the group. I may or may not have watched their music videos a million times tonight.

"I'm Harry!"
"Harry?"
(whole group pops up)
"From One Direction"
(even though now every time I hear that song...I keep hearing Drew Brees singing, "and live while we're young")

Like I said. Weird day.

Today I Am Feeling...

a bit stressed...
overwhelmed...
cold...
hurt (as in physical pain)...
tired...
hungry...
angry...
(it was a rough day...)

But, I had the opportunity to go to a meeting with all the Stake Young Women's Presidencies. The talks given were awesome. Sister Thurber gave one on time, and gave a great example from 3 Nephi about when the Savior was visiting the America's, and he told them to go home and ponder on the words that he had spoken. And though he had other things that he was supposed to do, instead, he took the time to bless the sick, and the children, and all the people that were there. She compared it to us as Young Women leaders, and how we need to take time to make sure that our young women are doing okay, and take time to see how they are doing. She, of course, told it a lot better than I did, but it was awesome, and much needed. I complain a lot about my calling, but I wouldn't rather have any other one (except ward organist...because that's the best calling ever). But we have some amazing young women, and I am blessed to be able to work with them. I just need to take more time to be a better leader for them. It was a great meeting. (and much needed after my day!)

After, I had told Brother Tyler from my ward that I would referee some church volleyball games. It was so fun. I have never seen so many poor players having so much fun! And I have to say, it was some ugly volleyball, but I was quite impressed with how 'decent' some of those ladies were. I'm sure most have never played anything other than church ball, and they weren't too bad.

When the games were over, I was walking out, and this girl looks at me and says "How are you?" I smiled and said, "Good, how are you?" Then we kind of stared at each other, me thinking, "do I know you?" Then she said, "I'm from Cokeville." I just stared at her hoping for any form of recognition...finally I said, "Who are you?" It was Jennie Sorensen. I didn't even recognize her. In my defense though, when she said she was from Cokeville, I was thinking of people my age, because she looked young enough to be my age. It was kind of cool though to see someone I 'knew'.

Anyway...that's how my day went!

Completely Out of Character

What is one thing you've done recently that's completely out of character for you?

This is  tough one. I don't think I've done much to step out of my comfort zone. Maybe talking back to my boss? But I wouldn't really call it 'talking back'... More voicing my opinion? Needless to say, I'm usually one that keeps quiet, even if it's not something I agree on, but lately, and I don't know why, I've been speaking up a bit more. Sometimes I freak out a bit...completely not normal. I don't know what's wrong with me. I think I'm going crazy...but I just can't keep quiet about things if I don't agree with it, or if I don't understand it. I should learn to control my emotions, and not speak without thinking. I have a feeling it may get me in trouble one day.
