Stitches

not real fun. thursday night Staci and I we're starving for some home fried french fries as well as hamburgers, started up cuttin up the potatoes and SLICE! - almost took part'o'my right handed ring finger off. not much more to the story really; it bled quite a bit, we taped it up and figured it be fine till the bandage replacement 3 hours later left it still splattering blood. time to rush down to the shady (and only) Urgent Care still open @ 9:55pm.

basic paperwork, vitals, and pedigree chart filled out, then it's up on the table to wait for my doctor to shuffle in (with a walker mind you). 3 stiches later I was er... um .... good as new?

honestly, my life is like a sitcom. pictures to follow if you'd like.

When did Hell freeze over?!

Seriously. the Cardinals are going to the superbowl? we have an African American president? I got a RAISE at work??? (50 cents /hr, but I'm happy :)

yeah alot can traspire when I don't blog for days and weeks at a time. alot has happened. seriously. alot.

in the meantime Staci and I are *Officially* Addicted to "The Office". not the new stuff mind you, we're still on season 3, but we're quickly catching up!

School started over again. I began the semester with 4 classes, but slimmed it down to 3 after the first Day(Dropped my Spanish 101 class -Long story. ask me about it if you REALLY want to know.)

other than that life is peachy. I'm a HT'r now, with the ward mission leader as a companion and all less active families. Hopefully I'll be able to do something about that.

what's new with you?

church: A new time, a new calling...

Our ward FINALLY transitioned to a more functional time for us. I dunno bout you but 8:30 AM is WAY too early to be in sacrament meeting. through a marvelous change the Harris ward now meets at 10:30. ahhh, much better. we may have only had to suffer a short 2 months but hey, it feels ALOT longer when you're severely sleep deprived.
must've done something (right? or wrong?) in the new ward though; they've already got a calling in mind for me. "sunday school teacher" for the teens, ages 16 & 17. oh. my. gosh. Not knowing what to think I accepted and will start sometime in the next two sundays. hope the kids aren't too ... Teen-age-ery for me. yikes. I'm surprizingly excited though, it'll be interesting that's for sure.
Staci had somewhat mixed feelings as well. of course she's happy for me to have a calling so soon but obviously wouldn't want to be in sunday school alone. she was invited by the bishopric to attend my classes but doesn't feel it'd be appropriate. I still don't know why - I need the help!
(personally I thought they could have called us together yet for who-knows-what-reason they didn't.) - any thoughts?
