Doug said he's getting sick of getting on our blog and hearing the same songs and seeing the same picture of Barack Obama. I told him to post something, but he just rolled his eyes. I guess that means I'm the lucky one who gets to do it.
I'm not sure what to write about, but I need to do something. I guess the one thing that's really been on my mind lately is PARTIES. Right now I'm so sick of the word I could SCREAM really loud.
First of all, I don't like planning parties, I never have and I don't think I ever will. Please, ask me to remove one of my limbs before you ask to me to throw a party. I don't mind attending parties, but I'd rather just sit in the background and blend in with the wall. All the planning that needs to go into a party just stresses me out and then you have to put it into action. You also have to be in charge during the whole thing.
The first party I have is on the 26th. It isn't really a party, but it's just as bad. It's a Primary Activity Day. Had I known that these would be part of my calling I would have thought twice before accepting the calling. I love Primary and I'm enjoying my calling very much, but I'd rather teach every Sharing Time lesson for a month instead of planning and implementing a party.
Ok, so my next party is for Miriam. I've always known the birthday would come when she's ask to have a party, but I'd hoped it would be another year away. Nope, this was the year. I think I would have tried harder to persuade her not to have one, but she's been to so many already this year that she really wants one of her own. I can't blame her, but again, I HATE PLANNING PARTIES. Oh well, she's an angel of a daughter and she deserves the special attention.
So, here I am trying to figure out what to do. Unfortunately her birthday lands during Doug's finals preparation time. This could get interesting. Anyway, the theme is "Princesses" and if you have any great ideas of what we can do, please pass them along. We will have both boys and girls attending so any ideas that aren't seeping with girliness would be appreciated.
I hope that this is a good enough post for Doug. If not, well, he can post something about the eye diseases he's seeing in clinic.

i LOVE planning parties! i'll get right on it and see what i can come up with. it'll be great!
Oh geesh! Maybe I need a little weekend trip over there. I LOVE to plan parties! We just don't have the space to really do much, so it goes to the side.
Are the girls dressing up? Maybe part of the party could be making crowns for princes and princesses...just a thought. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
I know how you feel Mallena, I am stressing out over the ward camp-out I have to plan now. How about dragons for the little princes to slay? Oh, and Doug, if you talk about any eye diseases I want pictures & easy terminology.
I agree with you Mallena. I also love the new soundtrack! And thankyou for the rolls. When Stuart came home he opened the bag and took a deep breath and said, "Heaven!"
Btw, I linked your blog on my blog. I hope that is alright.
Oooh.....this is in my league. This is about the only hobby I am really passionate about.....PARTIES!!! Let me know how I can help...I will e-mail you some good sites!
