Surprise!- You're and idiot!

Not you! This is my mind talking to me. Yesterday was a day full of surprises. Not all good, mind you. It was Sunday and our church starts at 1:00. At about 11:45 I was in the shower, getting ready when all of a sudden, like a bolt of lightening hit me, I realize that I AM SUPPOSED TO TEACH THE YOUNG WOMEN COMBINED today. Not just the Beehives, but everyone, and all the leaders will be in there, too. CRAP. So, needless to say, I got ready pretty fast, so that I could get preparing. Ryan was working, so the kids and missed sacrament meeting. Oh well. However, (surprise #2) while I was getting ready, I was trying to find a certain necklace to wear with my outfit. I couldn't find it in the normal place, so I had to look around a bit. So, I opened the top of my jewelry box, the ring section, and looked in there. Well, it was there! And, so was MY WEDDING RING that has been missing for about 3 weeks!!! I had looked everwhere for that ring, searched the whole house. Everywhere but my jewelry box, in the RING SECTION. I'm such an idiot! But, regardless of the idiotness, I am so glad to have found my ring. I would get so depressed just thinking about it being gone. So, Hallelujah! However, this brings me to surprise #3, which is not so happy. When I got home from my parents for dinner, there was a message on our machine from Stake Pres. Linnell asking me to call him back. Seriously? I'm supposed to call the Stake Pres? I could not think what on earth this could be about, but I had to call him back. So, I did. He was very nice and friendly. And, he very nicely and friendly asked me to speak in Stake Conference on Sunday. Boo. And, to top it all off, Elder Nueswander (I know that isn't spelled correctly) will be here, AND I do not have an assigned topic. What is up with that? So, there you go. Day full of surprises. But, the good one: I found my ring!!!!

Well I am excited to hear you speak at conference. That will be fun for me. I am glad it's not me. lol. No really you will do great and maybe you should think of it as an honor to be called to speak. Having to think of a topic is the harest thing when I am teaching my lessons but I am sure it will just come to you. You will do great!

Oh my Gosh! I'm so sorry for you! You just spoke in church for girl's camp, didn't you? Well, you will do a fantastic job! But I don't envy you one bit!

Are you the Young Women's President? If you are we share the same JOY!!! You'll do a fantastic job in Stake Conference on Sunday!!! I know it!

Wow, that sucks. Not the ring part but the speaking part. You'll do great but 4 days ago would have been a great time to practice the fine art of screening phone calls. ;)

i can relate to the loss of the holy ring depression.. I thought I lost mine a few weeks ago, I was too sad to tell Faa.. turns out he found it on the bathroom floor and "put it away" for me.. But the relief was so sweet!!

Wow! I am a little late, but I am glad I haven't had that opportunity. (Now that I have cursed myself, we will see what happened).
