i know it happened a little fast, but...

conversation at church today*:

lady in front of me turns around: "so when is your wedding?"
me: "...i'm sorry, what?"
lady: "isn't it you that's getting married??"
me: *rapid breathing, shifty eyes*

me and iPhone 5's engagement was supposed to be held in UTMOST SECRECY, guys!!

well i guess it's out now. BUT I'VE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER.

*this conversation actually DID happen, but the lady was just confused about which Hansen daughter was actually getting married (to a human). It was my sister, wendy! and we really are happy for her. 

i got beef.

"Women should be women and not babies that need petting and correction all the time." (Eliza R. Snow)

although i feel that quote is 100% applicable to today, let's substitute some vernacular for a more 21st century setting:

"Women should be women and not babies that need [comments] and [likes] all the time." 

i feel like the internet is ruining everything.

my soul is in danger.

i got soeur cook's mass-email today and opened it with a squeal of delight. then started laughing, because i read this:

Earlier this week we went and taught a semi-new investigator. He has lots of interesting ideas, and we started teaching him when I was still with Soeur Hansen. In the second lesson, he told Sr. Hansen that she brought a spirit/angel with her and it was just too powerful for him. This last week, Soeur White and I went to teach him the Plan of Salvation. In the lesson, he told us how he has big plans to start a new religion. Also, that it's too bad that Soeur Hansen left because he wanted to do a ritual/ceremony with her (I'm guessing some sort of ancient Tiki magic stuff). And also that Soeur Hansen needs to come back to Tahiti because she forgot her soul here. Oops...He said he really worries for Sr. Hansen because of that. Some of our investigators have lots of interesting ideas. 


if any of you would like to buy me a plane ticket to tahiti to get my soul back, i wouldn't turn you away.

riddle me this.

so i realized that the reason i haven't been getting any comments on my blog since i've been back hasn't been because you guys don't love me anymore (RIGHT?!!)--it's because my comment settings are all messed up.

i THOUGHT that changing the settings to this would fix it:

normally changing settings to "allow all comments from everyone everywhere at anytime" would permit comments...right? so WHY, when i go to edit individual posts, do i see this:

i am confused. 

help me. 

happy valentimes, everyone! i don't know about you, but i'm celebrating by:

• not putting on make-up! 
• not washing my hair!
• not ironing my sweater that actually REALLY needs to be ironed!
• going to eat fish tacos with my brother and his girlfriend!

eat your hearts out fellaaazzz
