It rained buckets today, and the pretty, crunchy leaves clogged all of the storm drains so every intersection was a lake.
I went with Emily to the lobby of the BPAC to rent her cap and gown from Herff Jones, as I have done several times before. We got out of there pretty cheaply, since we will get announcements from the photographer these days, and she didn't want a ring or a jacket or anything except some sweats that say Seniors down the leg. I remember how fast those Senior years seem to go. I'm probably not ready for that. I'm still in a fair amount of denial, and I can't even imagine what life looks like after June 1st of next year. So I don't even try. I wonder how I'll do at Senior Night this week, the last football game she will cheer at.
I ran a couple of substitute teacher orientations today for a new auto-sub dialer program we are starting in the district, and I think they went well. I'll do that again next Monday at 3 and 6. I feel like a grown-up now, I guess, finally, maybe.
Tomorrow is when Veronica finds out if she is having a boy or a girl. I bought yarn tonight, and I didn't buy pink. We went to Walmart for pumpkins to carve for FHE, but there were NO PUMPKINS LEFT IN THE ENTIRE CITY so we bought yarn instead. None of it is orange.
The Cadillac always stops working in October. But it's OK because I can ride my bike, or Kerry can ride his bike, and that's good for us and good for the environment.
Steven made a horror movie. It was good, but horrible. I can't watch the ending, but I watch the beginning a lot. I like when the scarecrow is standing in the corn and the kid can't see him there.
Tonight for FHE we read emails from 2 missionaries we know, Kylie who used to come to Emily's birthday parties, and now she's in England living in a flat and being brilliant. Also Derek who sent his first email home from the empty sea today. Those are always unique, those first letters home.
Emily went all the way to Orem on Saturday for marching band. She missed Sadie Hawkins. Last year, she only went to 3 dances, and there were only 4 total. This year, 2 dances were on days of marching band competitions in Utah. Bad luck. But then she had good luck. She got home after 1 a.m. and was considering sleeping in and missing church, but then she didn't. And she had a really great Sunday which involved getting her first calling. Not counting being Laurel President. She is the youth Family History coordinator with an emphasis on name extraction. The bishop pulled us in his office and said she was getting set apart, which I assumed was for Laurel President. When he said what he said, I was really surprised.
Almost as surprised as Veronica will be tomorrow when she finds out what she's having.
Marisa got a kind of promotion at work, Adam's moving to a new place this weekend, I saw Caley's mom today at the sub workshop, Peggy's coming out of retirement for a few months to help her former employer, and Sarah and Jimmy are moving to West Hollywood. Also, Susie is getting married in January to Mr. Goodspeed. And a radio personality is coming to Super Saturday.
So that's what's going on around here.
