Random Maids a'Milking!

[Unit of Energy]

7.5 hours from now, I will be on my way to Rexburg.

You know, as often as it's happened before, it really shouldn't surprise me when God answers prayers. But sometimes it still does.

S'True! and yet the surprise remains all too often!

Favorite quote from my mom ever "How did you manage to make him think it was his idea?", about my ride to Idaho offering me the ride.

[Imogen]

my family is coming to see me in "Aida" (the musical, not the opera tonight!! they're flying all the way from NYC/Atlanta to south Texas! i feel so loved!

[TheBlackSheep]

Yay Imogen! I hope all goes well and you have fun with your family.

[ahem.]

Heh. A couple of my friends performed Enchantment Passing Through for a dinner theater thing we did. Except at the dress rehearsal, they did all the dialog with... um... "fabulous gay guy" accents (I don't know how to describe that any other way). And it makes me giggle every time I think of it. Hee... "I will take you sailing!"

[NerdGirl]

Imogen, that's awesome! I hope you have lots of fun!

[bobtheenchantedone]

Hooray for musicals! Random is rehearsing for one now.

I made it to Rexburg safely, and the drive with 3d wasn't awkward. Although I don't know how tomorrow will go, what with my roommate's comment on his facebook status last night. He didn't see it before the drive today.

I went Facebook stalking to try and figure out what you were referring to, then got derailed because we have surprising friends in common and lots of people that should be my Facebook friends but aren't in common as well. But I'm pretty sure you weren't ever in my ward...especially since they're acquaintances from all over the map.

[Unit of Energy]

I'm always surprised by mutual friends. If I knew who you were to facebook stalk you I might be able to tell you how I know some of the friends.

[Imogen]

last night was our best performance EVER!!! i'm so glad someone recorded it!!

[C is for]

Imogen, Hooray!! I'm so glad. Best performances ever are the kind that should be recorded...

Unit, thanks to Overheard I discovered the infamous status and what your roommate said (I guess I'm just pro at this). Hopefully not too awkward! As long as you don't (didn't?) bring it up you should be fine.

[Unit of Energy]

I'm just planning on pretending that it never happened, although I wouldn't mind if he took her advice to heart,

[Craig Jessop]

Did anybody else miss the point of what President Packer was trying to say today? I loved Elder Holland's talk, but I kept turning to my roommate and asking "what point is he trying to get across?" about President Packer. It just seemed rambly to me!

[Whistler]

I'm pretty sure it was something about faith. Or was that Elder Holland?

[Unit of Energy]

I'm sad I missed it. I was in a ward where we talked more about getting married and the importance of not putting it off than we do in Marriage Prep.

[Dead Cat]

I think President Packer was talking about fathers.

In other news, I am feeling very nostalgic about Myst and want to play. Unfortunately, none of the games are on my laptop, nor do I have the cds with me.

[thebigcheese]

Oh man. Myst was one of those games that frustrated me so much that I eventually gave up on it. Then I later discovered the spoilers online and it was fun for a good 30 minutes.

President Packer covered several topics. Fathers was probably the main one, although he was using it in a unique context that was more like "treat everyone like you would your own son". He also spoke about listening to the Spirit, I think. By the way--me and my hubby were trying to figure out if this was a conference for married wards only, or if singles were included. Some of the topics seemed particularly family-oriented. Anyone know?

[Dead Cat]

I am in a singles ward and we were supposed to go, so I say yes, it was for both single and married folks.
