Psycho!


So the other day I was looking for some undershirts for Josie at Walmart, and I hear a voice behind me asking if they can give me a card. Sure. This lady hands me a card and talks to me about her business, working from home selling nontoxic cleaning supplies. She wants me to consider working for her. Sure great. Thanks. Yeah, I'll give you a call. So I didn't give her a call, for obvious reasons. I'll just avoid her. That shouldn't be a big deal. So a few days later, after I've forgotten all about her, Dan hands me the phone. Hello?


"Hi Rachel, it's Paula." I'm thinking Paula in my ward. She was my young women's teacher for a while. "When do you want to get together?" I'm thinking, why would Paula want to get together with me? Is she my new visiting teacher? I didn't know that they were changing my visiting teachers. Hmm. Why would she want to get together? I guess that could be fun. She's nice. So I say, "Oh, whenever." Well, we make an appointment for Thursday at 11am. And then, and not until then do I realize that this is the lady I met at Walmart! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! Crap!


So I was going to call and cancel yesturday, but I forgot. I called her this morning (Thursday) about 9:30am and told her that I wanted to cancel. "Well, lets forget about the business part. I just want to distribute these great nontoxic cleaning supplies. I just want to show you a short video, blah blah blah." To which I reply, "no thanks, I'm really not interested." And then the kicker! Her last chance! She says something about women who are "at home all day with their cleaning supplies, 89% of them get cancer." What the crap! 89% of women who stay home all day get cancer because of their cleaning supplies!?!?!?! I'm pretty sure that the worst thing that would happen is a burn or inhalation of some kind. Good crap, you crazy woman! Anyway, I thought it was funny, and I'm glad I'm not working for this very unstable and illinformed/informing woman. Ha ha.

Pictures


Josie had her first birthday on the 14th! Happy Birthday! I love love love to look at all the pictures on other people's posts. I have high ambitions of posting some of Josie's birthday. The only obsticle is that we don't have the internet at our house, so I have to remember to bring up the camera or computer. I'm bad at hauling a bunch of crap up to my mom's house. Actually, I'm good at it: Josie's pajamas, medicine, toothbrush, blankets, stuffed animals etc. I can't bring myself to bring all the technical gear too. Anyway, this may just demonstrate how lazy, I prefer tired, I am, but I will eventually post pictures of Josie's birthday, (probably when my mom gets them off her camera and onto her computer, to be honest.) So until the level of my ambition changes I will continue to post meaningless pictures I find somewhat relevant on the internet.

Beach Trip


The Relief Society President in our ward has a beach house, and we had a sleepover this past weekend. We drove to Lincoln City, about 2 hours away. We had lunch, we went to the outlet mall, we just hung out. It was warm for the two days we were there-- the weather was perfect. So fun! We stayed up until about 5am talking girl talk (I'm not sure I'm caught up on sleep yet). And even though I was in bed until 9 am I don't think I got any sleep because of some unnamed snoorers. I would do it again in a heartbeat, but sadly I think that will be my only trip. They have these every six months, and hopefully I'll be in the hospital. That's still weird.
