Church: The Feast

Not only was church a spiritual feast today, but a visual feast as well. This won't be a long post seeing as how I need to go to work very, very soon. Just a little list to share the wonders of my ward.

1. Scarlett (nickname) - The chick who wears giant Gone with the Wind hats every sunday. Todays hat was black BUT WAIT! Pair the hat with a black, silk, floor length skirt with a train. A train! Then add on top of the that - She never wears shoes - ever. She wanders around church barefoot - it's disgusting, she is crazy, but very nice.

2. Snuggie (nickname)- I'm pretty sure this would have worn a snuggie (the blanket with sleeves) if she owned one. She was wrapped in a bright blue blanket. She was trying to wear it as a shawl. It was a giant blanket.

3. Tagua (actual name) - She is very sweet and nice, but an interesting dresser every Sunday. I have no doubt that she is interesting every day of the week. Today she was sporting a silk kimono dress thing, black pants underneath and black riding boots.

4. The Actor (nickname) - This gentleman wears a variety of tutlenecks paired with a lovely sport coat. Today on the lapel of his jacket he had a few (3) lapel pins. All different condiments. The Ketcup lapel pin was my favorite but that might be because I was hungry.

These are the four that stood out to me this week and made it very hard to have Christ like thoughts during Ward Conference. My ward also has higher than normal instances of Crimes of Fashion such as nylons with open toed shoes, grandma dresses and ties with cartoons on them.

I love my ward.

Dream Update #3

So I must be really stressed out once again. My crazy dreams have resurfaced and in another weird way. Last night, this is what I dealt with:

1. I was Noah and had to build an ark. Except that I was me, living in modern day and I didn't have to collect animals. The general population was pretty cool with me building an ark. I realized during my dream that I was dreaming that I was a female Noah and it was crazy.

After that dream ended, I woke up - thought it was crazy and went back to sleep. That's when this dream popped up:

2. Again, I built a boat. I built a little canoe/rowboat thing from "scratch". By scratch I mean that I cut branches off trees in my backyard and fashioned a boat. So I decided that I needed to take a first float on it - by myself - in the mountains - during a lightning storm - down a river - ending in a waterfall. ALL OF YOU WERE COOL WITH IT! Oh, did I mention that I carried it up the mountain by myself? Yep. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it - I woke up before I could complete the epic journey down the mountain.

Again, what do you think?
P.S. - I already know that I am crazy and that is not helpful feedback :)

Wicked

I'm a wicked person with a wicked heart. I need to learn to let go of things - but I don't want to :) I've said enough.
