You Can't Always Get What You Want

My new assignment in church is to "edit" the newsletter for the Relief Society, the women's organization. The RS president encouraged me to "put [my] personality into it."

Bless their hearts. I think they will be glad that I didn't.

but the newsletter WOULD BE SO AMAZING with your personality attached.

i'm so sad we didn't get a chance to visit while you were out here. i think maybe i will come out there. what do you think?

I agree, the newsletter WOULD be awesome if my personality was attached. Unfortunately, "edit" in this case actually means "compile." I have absolutely no control over what goes in the newsletter, and there's so much ju--uh, so many items that go in that there's no room for any of my editorial talent to run wild. All I get to do is add clip art.

I think you should definitely come out here and we should go to Shoots and leave the children with Regis. Heh heh heh.

YES!!! I'm there. actually, my cousin is getting married sometime in the spring. maybe march? perhaps i'll brave single parenthood and stay a few extra days to soak some crystal time in.

too bad about the editing. . . and by editing, i mean compiling. clip art is so unsatisfying.

oh oh i have the best suggestion for your newsletter, courtesy of my ward...add a reminder for all the pregnant ladies to add their name to the "bun in the oven" sign up sheet (no, i am not kidding, and yes it is right next to the "home canning" and "temple night" sign up sheets...sheesh)
