Fifteen Minutes of Angelic

We had our ward party last night. I was an angel in the program. Didn't feel very angelic, I must say, but I heard it looked good. My halo is a bit tarnished and my wings a tad askew. Just saying...

The hordes are coming here in about two hours. I'm not worried at all. Not a bit. I just feel as if I'm about to be washed out to sea by a tsunami. The mother and "father" of the horde are leaving the 3 children hordes here tomorrow--all three--and the parents will go up to Yarnell (up by Congress somewhere) to lion hunt and pick up two of the stupid lion dogs that are being trained, supposedly. Then G'ma Jo will take all three (if she survives) up to meet the parents. I'm not worried about this at all. Not a bit.  The horde mother has demanded a menu of her favorite foods even though they will only be here for less than 12 hours.  They are taking their Christmas gifts with them.  I'm not worried at all. Not a bit. It's always so peaceful and pleasant when they're here. No difference whatsoever...

I must go and prepare the demanded fare. I'm not a bit worried. Not whatsoever! Should I survive, I'll let you know how it goes. If not: I leave my books to Liz,  anything red I own to Bridgette,  and I'll work on the rest of my possessions. Let me know what you might like. I'll distribute them posthumously.

I know something about tarnished halos. Have to check to see if my wings are askew, like yours. LOL Chin up. You'll survive. Won't be easy but you'll get it done. Be STRONG. Hang in there.

If you have any Culver's gift cards, I'll take those.

Liz said...

You leave your books to me? I adore you. I also love your positive talk. Keep it up, sister! And if all else fails, channel Diana: "I will survive, I will survive..."

It sounds as if being an annual has given you an altered mental state..."what me worry". I'm sure you'll have a good rme with the boys and feed them whatever they want. I hope their lion hunt was unsuccessful.

Darn typos! That was supposed to be angels not annual ane time not rme.

YIKES!
Hang on my friend.
Hopefully you will survive with your wings and halo intact.

She demanded food? Really?
I'm a little curious to know what it is that she is wanting to be fed.

Well, just think of the quiet when it's all over.

Hunting lions?
