Who Does Tommy Look Like?

I think that Tommy looks a lot like a young Kile in this picture. What do you guys think?

Our blog is being spammed!

Okay I have no idea how that post got on there. All I know is that they must have gotten the email address to post directly to the blog and emailed to it. How WEIRD! Makes me feel that the blog really isn't safe... We will see what we can do about that! Hm...

Missy's Big Announcement

I am proud to announce that I have accepted a new position within the D Publishing Enterprise as Production Manager of two new pubs in a new division called Patience Publishing. This is a new company started by our publisher and one of the editors of People Newspapers to purchase existing magazines and start-up new ones. I will be managing two titles: Land Report (monthly) and Golf Connoisseur (quarterly). I am sad to leave Custom Publishing because I have made some wonderful friends, but the time seemed right and the opportunity will also include nearly a 20% pay increase so I couldn't turn it down. Everyone is excited to bring me on since I've been with D for almost 3 years and will make for a smoother transition. I'm looking forward to a new opportunity to show what I'm capable of. Mom is taking us out to Spaghetti Warehouse next Wednesday for their $4.99 spaghetti special on Wednesday nights to celebrate. Anyone who wants to come along is more than welcome to join in the festivities!

Anna's School Fundraiser

Okay, I know this is totally uncool of me, but there's no one else over here that I can ask, because they all have kids in school! Anna is having her only school fundraiser of the year next week, and it's a Walk-A-Thon. A lot of schools are turning to fundraisers like this because they are 100% profit. All I ask is that you donate $1, or more if you like. It's not a lot of money, it will help out Anna's school, and I'm not asking you to buy cheesy wrapping paper, or cookie tins from a catalog. The money is due by Oct. 27, so please help if you can! Thanks!

Cook-off

Since we are doing the Biggest Loser, the Cook-off this year is pretty easy to figure out, we're doing Healthy Recipes. You must include the nutritional facts of your entry so that the rest of us will know what we're eating. That means fat, calories, calories from fat and servings per dish. If you bring your recipe too then we can share them and have things to cook while we're all working on losing weight. As for everyone who isn't involved in the Biggest Loser, I guess it wouldn't hurt to eat a healthy meal once in a while! If you have any questions let me know!

Choir Tour

We're headed off to Salt Lake City next week for our Evening Song "Tour." We're super excited cause we get to sing on Temple Square. This is our biggest gig yet and we hope to impress. We'll make sure to post lots of pictures. Meanwhile, listen to two of my favorite Evening Song songs.

Our Eventful Stake Conference

My ward choir was asked to sing in Stake Conference, which was yesterday, in front of more than 1,100 people! I was also asked to lead the congregational hymns. I was very nervous, because I don't like to get in front of a lot of people for any reason! Well, the choir did great! I had 48 people singing in the choir, and the Stake Pres. said that it looked like all of the McKinney 5th Ward was singing in the choir, and he was pleased at our numbers. I am very thankful for all of the people who supported the choir! It made my SO MUCH job easier! We sang "Joseph Smith's First Prayer" first, and for the closing hymn, the choir sang "The Morning Breaks." The choir sounded wonderful for both songs, but the closing song was very interesting. Apparently, Danny lost Tommy in the beginning of the song (he was in the Primary room), and while Danny and Anna were frantically looking for Tommy everywhere (which is difficult since there are so many people in the building), Tommy found his way to me! I looked down in the middle of the song to see Tommy standing there, with his trusty large, white stirring spoon that he takes EVERYWHERE, and he's saying "Mama! Mama!" I almost had a heart attack! I couldn't stop conducting, and some of the members of the choir were trying very hard not to laugh! Well, it got worse, Tommy ran to the top of the choir seats where there are some light switches and the switch that lowers the large screen, and proceeded to turn the lights on and off! Luckily he didn't lower the screen, but I was HORRIFIED! As soon as the song ended, I grabbed Tommy and we got out of there! I had no idea that Danny didn't know where he was and I was so upset! Danny had no idea what happened and was relieved to find me with Tommy. He was upset that Tommy disrupted the final song, but we were both glad that he didn't find his way outside, and that he was safe! This will be the most memorable Stake Conference ever!

Progress on Paw’s house

Connie, Gary, Romanda, Michael and myself have worked at Paw’s two-story place all week and it looks really good like it did when he first moved in. We thought someone was interested in buying it but we do not believe that will pan out. We are planning a porch estate sale September 23 - the same day as the Womens Conference where Ginny is in charge of dinner. We are leaving some of the furniture and stuff inside because it looks so good. I cleaned the chandelier over the dining room table using the method Dad told me they used to clean the Temple chandelier and it looks wonderful - all sparkly. Romanda worried that I would fall so she stood right there to catch me. This has been a lot of work but a lot of fun. We found the spoon issued to Paw by the Air Force to eat from. We will draw straws for it and a couple of other items. I am keeping the little red truck and will make it available for those who need to haul stuff. Even though it is a 1990, it only has about 36,000 miles on it and drives really good. It is a peppy 6-cylinder. We are going to the Lake soon and will negotiate with the neighbor who wants to buy the place. The water is 25 feet beyond the dock. I will take a picture. There is grass growing under the boat lift. It is quite a site. We will have to discount the place due to the water situation.

Let the Games Begin!
Everyone should have emailed Mom by now and we're officialy into our second day of the competition. Here is the list of competitors: Missy, John, Mandie, Danny, Melinda, Ginny, Suzy, Kenny, Texas, Randi, Julie and Nikki! That's 12 of us total, most of whom are entering the $5 pot (I think a total of 9 or 10 are). Those people should have sent mom their goal weights. And make sure you give her an exact number, not a range, because it will probably be very close in the end. Have fun, and please, be healthy about it!

So far we have 5 official entries and weigh-ins. Remember you have until 10pm TODAY to send your official weights to Mom. The concensus on the questions, as of this morning, are to run the contest through Thanksgiving and do it by percentage of weight loss only. I'm still waiting on answers from other participants (Najeras and McMurdies). I will send an official email tomorrow morning. People wanting to enter your $5 into the pot can leave it at mom's sometime during the duration of the contest and she'll keep it in a safe place. Remember if you're entering the pot to give mom your goal weight also! Good luck to everyone and if you have any questions please let me know!

Who wants it?

I have an ottoman that mom junked off the curb about 3 years ago that I fixed up. It's prefectly fine, but we don't use it anymore. Tommy and Anna used it to climb on and jump off, so we stuck it in the closet, and that's where it has been for more than a year! It's free to whoever wants it! Please let me know ASAP because I will give it away to Goodwill on Saturday! I will post a picture as soon as I can!

DCI Finals

Drum Corps International Finals will be aired on ESPN on Tuesday, September 5. Time has not yet been announced.
