I’m still trying to get my blog up and running. My computer will not allow me to blog BECAUSE IT’S BRAND NEW! (The caps on that comment will make sense after you read my latest entry posted below). But, anyway, I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.

Top Ten Things LDS People Love to Brag/Whine About:

1 – It’s so horrible, I HAVE WRITTEN IN MY JOURNAL EVERY DAY SINCE 1962 and I can’t find the kind of journal books I like to write in any more.

2 – I am sooooo tired. I have just canned 40 JARS OF PEACHES. I can’t believe I could be so stupid to ever think I could do such a thing.

3 – Can you believe how much tithing we pay? I mean LAST YEAR ALONE I PAID $20,000 IN TITHING!

4 – I love my Young Women’s calling, even though I had to STAY UP ALL NIGHT to make twenty pairs of pajama bottoms for every girl that’s going to camp. Can you believe that? We’ve got twenty girls going to camp!

5 – This week I HAVE to teach Gospel Doctrine, plus give a talk in Sacrament Meeting and say a prayer in RS/PH. I sure hope I don’t get laryngitis!

6 – I can’t believe how much money I spend on stupid little postage stamps each month. WRITING 10 MISSIONARIES can actually be expensive!

7 – Feel how heavy this scripture bag is. BY THE TIME I BRING MY SCRIPTURES AND ALL OF THE SUPPORTIVE MATERIAL I READ EACH WEEK FOR THE CLASSES I ATTEND, this thing weighs about 10 pounds! No wonder I have back problems.

8 – WE HAVE SO MUCH FOOD STORAGE that we’re thinking about BUILDING A NEW GARAGE. It’s amazing how much food storage a family needs WHEN A FAMILY’S REALLY PREPARED.

9 – It’s amazing how many bruises I get each week playing basketball. I DIDN’T EVEN GET THIS MANY WHEN I PLAYED FOR OKLAHOMA STATE!

10 – I had so many dishes to do after Thanksgiving BECAUSE WE HAVE SUCH A LARGE FAMILY!!!
