PG-13 Post Ahead


Today we went to Amber's wedding celebration. I needed a new pair of white stockings (nylons, pantyhose, tights, long socks, whatever you call them) to wear that didn't have a run in them. I stopped at Walgreens and picked up the $1.49 pair. When I got home and got ready to go, I put them on and thought they'd work just dandy.

Well I know I shouldn't talk about mormon underwear on my blog, but today I wore silky bottoms. I don't care for the silkies as much as other fabrics, but that's what was next in my drawer, in the dark this morning. Apparently there are no warning labels on either the stockings or the mormon underwears that the two shalt never meet. There was not enough friction between the two to hold up the socks. Long story short . . . the stupid socks would not stay up!!

I'm not just talking about a little stretching and sagging over the course of the night. I'm talking about I-can-feel-them-slide-down-as-I-am-standing-here kind of sliding. I think at one point the "crotch" of the socks was just above my knees. (Good thing my dress was long.) I had to go into the bathroom several times to adjust, but the problem just kept getting worse. Aggggghhhhhh!! Moral of he story: Next time, don't wear the silkies or don't buy the Walgreen's $1.49's.

Time for a new post!

I gave up on NaBloPoMo a while ago, but it is still time for a new post. Here are some thoughts on today.
  • We have a new little cousin, Hyrum, in our family. He looks really cute here and here. I'm looking forward to meeting him.
  • Sharing time today is on being thankful, but what I would really like to do is teach them how to behave in primary. We had an out of control primary activity yesterday. Grrrrr . . . . The kids are bad. The parents send their nursury-aged kids and thinks its free babysittng for an hour. The kids want to take the gifts home that we were making for their teachers. Plus, the only time they lined up quietly and neatly was when it was time for the treat. Grrrrr . . .
  • This week: Monday we are going to see our cousin Travis perform in "Joseph" at Hunter High. Wednesday is the celebration dinner for Amber's wedding. I'm looking forward to some good food at Maddox's. Thursday is Thanksgiving. I don't really care for turkey much at all, but holidays are always good.
  • Oh . . . and did you see that football game? When Willie got home, he said, "It was beautiful!." . . . whatever that means. I just thought it was lovely that the Tabernacle Choir was wearing RED and WHITE this morning for their broadcast! YES! GO UTES!
