So, it is Sunday, and like any church-going Christian, I was in church. I have my days when I want to sleep in and not attend, but if I roll myself out of bed, I find that it was worth it. However, if I had a chance to skip today, I should have. In Relief Society the President gave me a sheet of paper with my name on it. On it was a note asking me to "head this up for Relief Society". I didn't look at the paper until I sat down. Then the "OH CRAP" thoughts set in. Apparently, I'm to spearhead a group to do a 10 minute presentation in front of the ward. We have to choose a different culture (heaven forbid it be the AMERICAN culture). Then we must provide snacks from the culture. I have chosen Italian. I'm an idiot. As most of you know, I used to be the Branch Activities Chair for the Gushikawa Branch. I spent days contemplating death when I was in that calling. I'm not one to plan, but if you ask me to do something specific, I can handle it. So, you see that this new "project" is not one I'm looking forward to.
Yesterday I contacted a trainer for Pup Pup Magee. He is having a tough time walking on his leash without thinking everyone wants to be his friend. So, I emailed someone with Joyful Training and she emailed back that her classes were full, but that she would be willing to do one-on-one training with me. I'm excited at the thought of PPM actually COMING when I call him. Right now he only comes if he thinks inside is gonna be better than outside. That is frustrating. And the whole drama-queen act when I walk him is totally embarrassing. I look forward to walking him without it being a production.
So, I saw "Dear John" last night with Blizzard. Uh, HATED IT!!! If you have read the book, don't go to the movie. Totally not what the book is about. The chapter that reduced me to tears was ignored and replaced with a visit to the hospital. And, SPOILER ALERT, in the book he doesn't get the girl (which is REALITY people). In the movie he DOES. So, they KILL off a good man so that this pussy-whipped idiot could have a girl who dumped him while he was off serving our country. Whatever! Oh, and the pussy-whipped part is frustrating. In the book he is tough, but in the movie he has no idea what he wants to do with himself and she has to boss him around. In the book she is straight-forward, but sweet. Why does Hollywood fear telling us the truth of the matter is that men in uniform (or on missions) get dumped all the time? These men don't come back to a married woman just to steal her back. OHHHH! And I hope the guy with the slut sitting behind me got a glimpse of her character when she was ROOTING for the married woman to sleep with the not-her-husband guy! What a HUH-OR! I went to "Dear John" hoping that Hollywood finally got it. They didn't. Why am I surprised?
Okay, so I'm done complaining. I'm still happy with life in general. I can't complain. I have only 178 days until I get to hold the man of my dreams in my arms again. It is tough not having him here. Nobody to argue with but myself. And, it is hard to argue with me cause I'm ALWAYS right. :)
