Gratitude Minute

I love my singles ward.

• all of the awkward RM's who are in the ward to find a wife.
• watching engaged couples cuddle all during sacrament (JUST GET MARRIED ALREADY!)
• and then of course there's the Releif Society's Gratitude Minute.

For those who don't know, Gratitude Minute is when all of the ladies in Relief Society talk about what they are most thankful for in less than one minute.

Cool Right?

Well, you would think so.. until you hear the comment's that went something like this:

1. I am soooo thankful that Harry Potter came out this week.
2. I am grateful that my house didn't burn down this morning when my oven caught on fire.
3. I am thankful for my puppies. Because they are sooooo cute.
4. I am thankful we live so close to the mall.
5. I am grateful for my job, even though I HATE IT!.. but I'm still grateful for it.

Probably a good thing that I didn't raise my hand... I would have said something along the lines of, "I am grateful for all of these nothingness comments that have made my Relief Society experince exceed tenfold." (except for the Harry Potter one of course.)

Also, I think this Gratitude Minute may have been the cause of my mini-nap during RS.

Woops...

Happy Sunday!

The Little Mermaid

Tonight my singles ward had a fireside.

The fireside was amazing. I enjoyed every second of it...

but this is not what this post is about.

It's about the conversation that went on as we mingled AFTER the fireside that I would like to make this post about.

So there I was with two boys from the ward.

1. Mickell Walker (yes, he has a girl name.. but that makes him more of a man. Mickell also saved 8 babies out of a burning building at one point of his life.)

AND

2. Matt Adamson (one of the older boys in the ward. has the tendency to make any situation as awkward as possible.. even if he's not the one talking.)

and here is how the conversation went down:

I see a girl walk pass with extremely long hair.

Anna: Man, I can't wait until my hair is that long and flowy like The Little Mermaid's!

Matt: Oh, that'll be great! Do you have fins that you could wear like her too??

Anna: Well no, but I do have a SEASHELL BRA.............

long pause as I stare deer and headlights style at Mickell Walker

Anna: Welp, see ya!!

I briskly walk over to the door. (Mickell Walker has to follow because he is my ride.)

Anna: Mickell, I CAN NOT believe what I just said.

Mickell: Anna, If anything I think more of you. That was the best thing you could have said at that present time.

I really wish I thought through what to say before I say things.

It's called: WORD VOMIT.

and I am a hardy sufferer of this.

Anyone have other embarrassing word vomit stories to ease my mind?

Gee Whiz.
