Well, this weekend was fun. We visited my sister and took her out to a yucky dinner. We were impressed how bad the food was. Then I saw her fridge. The girl had two oranges in her fridge. Two oranges people. Thats it. She had a bag of chicken pieces in her freezer, and food storage style food in her cupboard. She said she didn't need food. Daniel and I decided that next time, instead of wasting $25+ on bad food we will go buy that much worth of groceries. I guess she will be getting breakfast and lunch provided at her summer job, so she will be able to eat more balanced meals. She also lives alone, but I have never seen her fridge so bare. The worst part is that she will refuse to take money from us, a 'loan' is even hard to give her.
I got sick this weekend. Its called a sneezy sniffly coughy, can't sleep Good Times! I got some medicine and a pack of cough drops and it seems to be helping. Of course, I can't sleep. (I fell asleep earlier and then woke up.) It was a better choice to get up and go downstairs than wake the baby.
This morning on the way to the car for church, Alice decided to try and run into the street. She didn't get very close though. She broke out into a run by the car and right before Daniel grabber her to put in the car, she face planted. Right on her forehead. Giant scrape/bruise thing. It turned pink, then sort of purple, and I could see little bits of bleeding. Anyone that has wipes out on a bike knows what it looks like, and how much it hurts. Alice got to sport one huge bandaid all day. Everyone asked what happened. The bandaid didn't hide the swelling, but at least it hid the gross looking part.
I haven't done much for enrichment. I made the flyers and they went into the Relief Society folders, as well as on the bulletain board, but the lesson and (possible) handouts? Yeah, I got nothing. Plus, whatever I encourage people to do, I should be doing myself. After some reading I like the idea of keeping the 3 month supply of food in big storage bins marked with dates for rotating. But, I don't have that. When I told Daniel about the enrichment (in 10 days) he asked if we needed to get the rest of our food storage together. Technically, yes. But, lets face it, I don't have the time or energy to get that done right now. I may get an official 3 month's supply though. Or at least enough of a 3 month supply to drag to the church for part of my lesson. Its been so long since I have done any teaching in Releif Society, so the whole thing mght flop. That means I need lots of visual aids. Lots and lots of them.

Sunday morning Phone Call
Sunday we got a message on our phone requesting us to meet with the bishop 30 minutes before church. Only, we got the message at 12:20...meaning they wanted us there in 10 minutes. I am pretty sure we took shoes with us for Alice, but I won't promise they were matching (not that she wears them anyway; feet of steel!).
Anyway, I assumed Daniel was getting another calling. It makes sense, right? He has one calling, and its a joint calling with me. I have that, plus a 4x per year service calling (we provide and serve a lunch for the poor/homeless/whomever shows up).
Imagine my surprise when the bishop asks me what MY schedule is like.
Yes, that's right guys THREE is a magic number.
I am now the ward food storage specialist. I got the impression meeting with the bishop that I would schedule trips to the cannery and all that jazz. Only there is really more. You see, my calling is part of the Enrichment Committee AND in two weeks the enrichment activity is on FOOD STORAGE!
Lucky me! I get to do the lesson. They told me to keep it short, and I will oblige. I am basing it on the Ensign article in March (because that's the most recent thing from the church about home storage). Then we will get in three groups and drive to different homes to see how they do their food storage, and eat food storage recipes.
I will be making my tortillas. Yum. I actually made them for dinner and am gonna test them out tomorrow (see if I can get away with making them more in advance or not). I also am going to try a wheat salad for dinner tomorrow, and probably another one the next day, until I find the 'best' one. Obviously if you are eating your hard core food storage, you aren't going to have feta cheese and (maybe) olives but I am sure the exotic salad is far more exotic.
Anyway, I just need a name for the enrichment activity, cause I am making the flyer, and my idea is pretty boring. So if you were going on a progressive food storage dinner and having a short lesson, what would you call it?
