5/6/11
I just had a minute and was thinking of you so I thought I'd write.
K, so funny story. I got a message on my machine at work from a woman in California (I think). The message is 3.38 minutes long and the whole time she is singing...Did you ever know that you're my hero. Weird? I ran her phone # through my data base and can't find the # so I have NO idea who it is. And I think she was drunk...but whatever. It's pretty funny.
So this week at YW we had 10 girls. Can you believe it?! They kept coming in and I was SO happy! We were sewing our aprons and bonnets and I guess they all want them because that has been my best attended activities lately (this is the 3rd time we've done it). We got another 12 year old girl that approached me and asked if she could be in YW. Another non-member that lives in our ward boundaries. She is really cute and seems to need all the love and attention she can get. She is going to come to camp and is so excited. She says she goes to another church on Sunday's and I asked her if she'd at least come to ours half the time. She said she'd think about it.
Next week for YW we are going to the community center to take a class called "Hot Hula". Doesn't that sound totally cool? I'm excited. So were several of the girls. Others were a little less enthusiastic and said they'd come watch. Supposed to be the next best thing to ZUMBA (which I also LOVE).
We have a busy weekend coming up again. Today we have girl scouts and then Katie is dancing at a luau again. Tomorrow the IRON MAN is in town and if I'm ambitious I'll go do spin in the morning and then take the girls to the pancake breakfast and cheer on the bikers. We've done that a couple years now and it's kinda fun. The girls both have soccer games tomorrow. It seems like Katie dances again at least once if not twice on Saturday too. Can't remember. Sunday we get to talk to you!!!! We have skype all set up and are waiting for our camera to come in the mail. Found one for like $7 w/shipping. (Locally they were $15-20 minimum) If it doesn't arrive by Saturday as promised we can always come up to my work. I have a camera on my MAC.
Tickets keep coming in like crazy but somehow we had a totally mellow week this week. Got done with court shortly after 6:30 p.m. I can't even remember the last time that happened. I am sure it is only a fluke and we'll be back to long busy courts as we entered over 60 tickets on Monday and there is a pile of at least 25 on my desk to still go in the computer. (Back in the day we used to get 150-200 tickets per month).
I saw your friend this week...Dallyn Hallows. Cute girl. She said she wrote you a time or two (I can't remember) but hadn't heard from you in awhile. She is pretty funny. She came up to pay her speeding ticket and had on this shirt about drowsy driving is stupid driving or something along those lines. I started laughing at her...I'm like -- that's a great shirt for a girl who's getting ANOTHER speeding ticket!!! She's like, I know, right?! She said she is doing some type of smart driving campaign for school. I told her I wanted her to get me a picture of her with her campaign shirt on and her speeding tickets in each hand. So I could send it to you. She said maybe. We'll see. She graduates the end of this month.
Sister Buatte said you got sick last week because you ate too many mangoes...and they give you the runs. (I kinda doubt it, but funny thought).
Holly came home from school Wed night and just laid on the couch and wasn't her bubbly self. Her cheeks were rosy and she was just kinda lougy. I took her temp...102. I'm like, do you feel sick? She says, no. I gave her a bucket and made her stay home (Bryce's band concert was Wednesday) -- which made Katie really happy cause she got to stay home and so did Dallas. Next morning I give her the thermometer and she's 98.1. So strange. She never really got sick and she didn't even seem to know she was sick...and then she's better. NICE. Wish we could all get sick like that. Was like 4 hours or something, ya know?!
Well I talked to Sis. C. Her birthday is May 7 (so both your momma's birthday's are in the same week...easy to remember!) I wished her a happy birthday and asked about your box. She says she still hasn't seen it. Did you say you got Grandma's most recent package? Thanks for my birthday letter and turtle. They arrived Wednesday. You've done so good...everything you've sent has arrived prior to the date you meant it for!!! Impressive. She said you'd been transferred but she wouldn't tell me where. Said she'd let you fill us in. She also said you lost 10 lbs. Too much rice, eh?! She said she enjoyed her visit with you.
So did I tell you what Katie said to me last week? We were out pulling weed, much to her dismay. She looks up at me and sweetly asks, "Mom, when I grow up do you think I'll be as mean as you are?" HA. Gotta love that girl.
Well I can't wait to talk to you and see you! Love you. Mom
