First of all, my brother Alex and his wife, Marci had their third baby girl this week! She weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and was 21" long! She was born 4 days late! And they named her Eva Marie! Congratulations to you both!!! I will post pictures after I go and visit her!
Well, Southwest airlines was having great flights ($59 one way) from Seattle to SLC earlier this week. And I just saw that British Airways is having great prices from select cities to London right now! For example, now through the end of May you can get a round trip ticket for about $600!!!! OH, how I wish we could afford to go right now!!!!! That makes me cringe knowing that! SO if any of you were planning a trip, do this one!
So, I went to a "mom's club" at the church yesterday and I was nearly an hour late. I wasn't planning on being that late, though I did schedule to be there after it had already started. Well, a few minutes after I arrived people started leaving! And I said, "Oh, you're leaving?" like I was sad to see them go. Well, then two of my friends, we're like "um, you did get here late". That made me feel pretty stupid for saying that then. Plus I was wearing my tall black leather boots which look like horse-riding boots, but I was wearing them over my jeans, trying to look fashionable....but my body doesn't exactly lend itself to that at times. And so then, I thought to myself, "maybe it's the boots! Maybe they think I look funny!" And then I remembered that right before I left for the church, one of my kids, while my back was turned, knocked over this cheap Ikea full bodied mirror. Luckily, it was still in the plastic bcse it completely shattered and I only found one small piece of glass! So, then I kept thinking...7 years bad luck. oh, no!
And the day before this, I was riding Trax up to SLC to do some family history. Well, I had been using Tyler's free student pass...and I got caught. It got confiscated and luckily I rode off with just a warning. ouch! I felt really badly though. Not only bcse Tyler no longer has his pass (which he hasn't used as of late) but I felt like such a criminal! Is that going to go on my record? sigh....
Plus I think I am setting myself up for a bad reputation. For the last 3 book clubs I have not finished the book before the book club night (and usually do right after). And I have admitted that too. So now everyone probably thinks I am a procrastinator and they cannot trust me. Sort of like those people who say they'll call you and then they never do! (I've been guilty of that too!) So, I hope I am just over analyzing...
Well, I really am happy. And I like to over analyze things....so here they were!
And I am excited for General Conference this weekend!!!

People actually read the books for book club? ;) Hannah Give yourself 5 gold stars for reading it after at least.

If anyone gives you grief ask them how they are doing on family history. Then you can laugh a big ol' evil laugh and end the conversation. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm bummed we had to leave the mom's group so early. I forgot a breast pad and started leaking... seriously. I skedaddled out of there pretty darn quick!
Oh, and I think it's great that you actually admit to not reading the book. It makes all the other people who didn't finish and are pretending to know what's going on feel better.
it probably doesn't matter what i think, but i thought you looked super cute:) and i know exactly what you mean about over analyzing 'cuase i do it all the time.
ReplyDeleteMy theory is that the girls at the mom's group were intimidated by you because you are so fashionable. I would have done the same thing with the pass... don't feel guilt. It isn't like you stole or slept with a professor. And third, I think that if they haven't already made a movie out of a book, it isn't good enough to be read anyway. So you are perfect. Now move forward. And if there is a plastic cover on a mirror when it breaks, then the bad luck won't happen.
ReplyDeleteHannah-
ReplyDeleteI think over analyzing is a perfectly normal female characteristic! I think it is great that you have time to read! I am oh so jealous...the only books I have read since I got pregnant with Asher are baby sleep books and discipline books! I need all the help I can get! Big props for being fashionable...I stopped trying! Love you!
I thought your boot were dang cute! And, I'm glad you made it to mom's group, even late is better than never!
ReplyDeleteIt's not like you have to be on time to mom's club. Last time everyone was a half hour late. This time nobody stayed as long. You just never know.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot going on right now... I think you need to take a break, let me watch your kids, and go do something fun!
Hey Hannah,
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing this! I could totally relate! I quit my bookclub because I never got the bok done before we had to meet either. Oh well! Now I just read for fun and don't have any deadlines--it's quite nice! Love you for always being so honest-you're awesome!
