On the mind

I have a really good excuse for not blogging lately and I want you to know that it's not you, it's me! Well, it's kind of you. I mean, I did it for you. See, all I've been thinking about lately is Christmas, and I didn't want to annoy you with it. All I've been thinking about is Christmas yet even I am annoyed that so many stores already have all their Christmas stuff out. I mean, it's made it easier for me to find the things I've been looking for but I still feel like it's too early!...for them (the stores) but not for me, of course.

After all, only 63 days until Festival of Trees opening day!!! And I'm so excited! I've done so much already and I still have a thousand things to do but I'm having so much fun doing it!

And I just got a new calling! (And just as I was finally getting all those primary songs down.) I get to work with the Young Women now and I'm thrilled. I have no clue what I'm really doing yet but I'm having a blast doing it!

The only other thing I've been up to lately (besides work, of course) is day-dreaming. I've had to order a lot of stuff off the internet lately, some for festival, some personal, and I am always fascinated by the path that my packages take to get to me. Recently I've received packages that were shipped by such exotic places as:
- Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
- Pompano Beach, Florida (sounds fabulous, right?)
- Fayetteville, North Carolina
- Sparks, Nevada

All places I've never visited. Wait, I might've driven through Sparks. Maybe. I have a co-worker who has a daughter who lives in Sparks. She told me this joke:
Reno is so close to "h-e-double hockey sticks" you can see sparks.

Get it? Cuz Sparks is right outside of Reno.

Please forgive this post. I woke up at 4:45am this morning to go with the Young Women to the Temple to do baptisms. It was wonderful, and amazing, and I am utterly exhausted and ready for a nap!
