Reasons why I feel like a jerk right now

1. On another blog I posted a comment about the general Relief Society President's hair. That was tacky and rude, especially since I just wrote a post about avoiding judgement and striving for unity.

2. Mr. Fob has been sick for almost two weeks, and instead of being sympathetic and supportive I've been grouchy and irritated.

3. Even though I took S-Boogie out to ride her bike this afternoon I was grumpy with her when she wanted my help pushing her up hills.

Hah! If perfection were easy I guess everyone would be doing it. Maybe it is the NW weather manifesting itself . . . In the past two weeks I too said something rude and judgmental about someone I didn't know, expected inhuman amounts of love from Plantboy, and grouched at my kids over nothing essential.

Conference this morning has been a good remedy for my mood. I think I'll go clean the house to further clear my head.

You live in Afghanistan?

I've been a jerk today too. And the really jerky part is I don't feel sorry about it (yet, anyway).

Yeah, what's with the Seattle, WA, and Afghanistan as "Location"?

At least you aren't shooting Bhuddist monks dead in the street as they peacefully protest. Then you'd really be a jerk.

Actually, we've moved to Afghanistan and are now exporting heroin. That's why I feel jerky.

Um, I don't know why it said that. Now I've fixed it.

For the record, I couldn't even focus on her talk because I was too busy thinking about her hair and trying to pinpoint exactly what was wrong with it. I finally brought my focus around about 20 seconds before she closed and was kicking myself for being a judgmental jerk. Then my mom leaned over and said, "I hate her hair."

You are not alone.

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".

Coming Out in Public

A little over 6 years ago I was on my mission in Madrid. I was transferred to new area at the same time as another elder. I remember asking him if was really from Hawaii, since he was so tall and blonde. We ended up serving together in the same district for nearly seven and a half months and had a lot of good times together. He was actually nice to the sisters and a hard worker, without being too zealous and overbearing. I knew he was going home just a month before me and planning on being an English major when he got back to BYU. When I was transferred out of that area, we exchanged emails and addresses and promised to get back in touch some day, like I did with a lot of other missionaries. I got home in January and started trying to contact some of the people I'd been friends with back in the mission. I emailed this particular elder and found out that he had gone to the computer lab that very day in order to email me. We started emailing each other and talked on the phone a few t...
