Honk honk

I'm just gonna go right ahead and say how totally impressed I am with myself right now. Yep, I totally rock and I'll tell you why. I just successfully pulled off a "Winterfest Carnival" (whatever that is) for like 700 people!!! And everyone had a great time! Phew... I'll be honest, I though for sure it was going to tank. Hard. BUT my committee came through with their assignments and we did it!!!!

I'm the co-chair of the stake activities council and once a month we have an activity for about 600-1200 people (it's always more if there's free food) and this month is was a carnival type thing - ring toss, pie eating, musical chairs, bball shooting, HUGE twister etc. I'm so glad it's over.

But yeah, don't mean to toot my own horn but uh... honk honk

Tempted

Yesterday my phone buzzed and I got a text from one Jessica Weiss... "I want to have an adventure today. What are you up to?"

Just a few short hours we were on our way to see The Temptations in Wendover, NV. It took no time at all thanks to Steve's lead lead foot and Jessica's helpful updates on how much longer it will take if we go ___ mph. Unfortunately it was sold out by the time we got there so we eneded up going from casino to casino trying to understand why they all look IDENTICAL (except for the Wendover Nugget) and Jessica explaining which slots are the best.

Oh, also! The Temptations are not women. Who knew?

Right now, just tonight....

... I decided to make a few goals for the year. So far I've come up with the following: post something on this blog at least once a week. C'mon, can't be that hard right? Also, I'd like to aquire a navy blue KitchenAid stand mixer just like Julia Child had.

Not bad goals for the year.

I will also stand up for myself more firmly. There is no room in this life of mine for people or habits that do no good.

I will think of other things I'm sure but I naturally oppose making New Year's Resolutions base solely on the fact that i'm "supposed to" at this time of year.
