At the risk of sounding negative, let me just say that January has had its share of small disasters. For Exhibit A, I present this picture from last Saturday:
At first glance, you may see two young girls enjoying a quiet Saturday with their aunt. You would be wrong. What began innocently enough became a disaster zone when the smoke detectors in my apartment malfunctioned and all went off at the same time. For what seemed like hours. While the girls screamed, I tried to get them to let me put them down so I could take the batteries out of the detectors, then I gave up and took all of us outside in our bare feet until I could find a neighbor to help us. The beeping, the screaming, the hypothermia, the ringing ears for the next 24 hours - I was in classic meltdown mode.
For Exhibit B, I draw your attention to this gem of a photo:
I wish I could blame the fact that I wore two different shoes to church the next day on my ringing ears. But I think it was my eyes and my feet that had the problem. At least I didn't have stake visitors in my primary class while I unknowingly taught a lesson in mis-matched shoes. Oh wait - I did.
But never fear. January has had some better moments. Like Neil Diamond's birthday. I took the opportunity to decorate my cubie and bring peanut butter bars to work. A full day of watching people try to figure out why I have Neil Diamond albums displayed at my desk and just how crazy that must make me - is always a good time.
My other favorite moment of the week is courtesy of Comic Con. I love walking around downtown dressed as a "boring employee of the LDS Church" while everyone else is dressed as Superman in a kilt or an inappropriate gladiator. I feel blissfully out of place in the Comic Con crowd and I love that. So at least something is going right for me.
