Killing time on Fast Sunday

1. I finally watched "Transformers." Good but not great. And Shia LeBeouf does nothing for me.
2. Kim & I played Guitar Hero on Saturday night. I don't think I've played in nearly a month. I'm so out of practice!
3. I got asked to teach a workshop at Youth Conference later in June. I'm going to decline. I have way too much on my plate right now. I hate saying no, truly, but I know my other stuff will suffer if I do it. I've also done youth conference workshops twice in the last four years and I think there are other people out there who would love to be asked.
4. Tillamook Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream is pure heaven. If you don't live in the PNW, you are so missing out. My mom is addicted to the current feature flavor: Bubble Gum.
5. My home teachers came over this week and during the visit, the one who is the big cheese told me about a mid-single adult conference that was held over Memorial Day weekend. (This was for 30-45 year olds.) I didn't attend. Anyway, he said this was very well-attended with over 400 people there. I asked "what was the ratio of women to men?" He said, "well, about 3 or 4 to 1." I told you! There are no single LDS men out there. He also said they had to kick out some 50+ year olds who tried to crash. My home teacher - the bouncer! For those of you who know him, you should be laughing right now. But this was the first time they tried a mid-singles conference and he said they had to tell the old guys that the 30 year old women were not interested in being asked to dance by 50+ year old men. The truth hurts...
6. My mom was waiting in the car with my sister's kids while my sister was in the store. Four year old Makenna (who calls my mom Mimi or Meem instead of Grandma) saw an elderly woman walking by and said "there's an old grandma." My mom, who will be 70 this fall and doesn't look it, answered "yep, an old grandma just like me." Makenna said "no, Meem, you're not old, you're new!" Cute.
7. I'm breaking in my new crock pot today. Excited! Hope it turns out.
8. This woman is so incredibly organized. If I were a mom, I'd try some of her ideas.
9. My friend B. is here from Chicago. We had dinner Friday night with my boss and his wife and we closed down the restaurant. It was so fun catching up. Why do friends have to move so far away?
10. Fun mail this week: graduation announcements galore and a letter with pictures from one of my favorite missionaries. I've gotta get cracking on my graduation cards!!

Hope you're not too thirsty today! :)
