Today in church

Yes, we do attend worship services on vacation. Aren't you proud? Today, the funniest thing happened while in church. Now, forgive me if this is not funny, but I think to everyone that knows me, it will bring forth laughter. (And it might be one those "had to be there moments") Many know that I have a favorite outlet store here in FL that I love to shop at to find extreme bargains. I always brag about about my bargains to my teacher friends as we sit at lunch and admire my 1.99 shoes, etc. Well, the other day on one of my many trips to this store, I bought me one of those big balled necklaces that everyone is wearing. I was so proud of my 2.99 purchase and proudly wore them to worship service this morning. Well, during church (of course during a quiet moment), Hannah and I just happened to be looking at my necklace admiring it when all of sudden the necklace breaks and all the balls fall to the floor. We quietly, but quickly, pick them up with the added help from the ladies behind us. After we had collected all that fell, I thought that there might be more on my neck under my collar. Yep, I reached back and pulled a handful of balls and put them with the others.....in my mom's purse. We were getting tickled because we kept finding balls and...... then I realized that my bra was FULL of balls that had collected during the intial fall and told Hannah of my discovery. She started laughing uncontrollably. I thought she was going to have to get up and go to the bathroom to settle herself. And after she calmed, she leaned over and whispered to me, "Mom, you will have to blog about this tonight." The moral, "When in search of a bargain, be prepared to lose your balls when you least expect it."

OH...you know I would have laughed uncontrollably!!! That is hilarious, and I can just picture the look on your face.

Tonight at church, during the prayer, James decided to let out a little gas. I hoped that when it was over, people would look over and give me a laugh or a little smile, but noone did, which is worse because they could have thought I did it! He loves to pick the awkward times to do that!

At least you did not have toilet paper coming out of your dress returning from the bathroom, like that lady did when we were in Hawaii in 7th grade. I don't think I have ever seen you and mom laugh that hard (or me embarassed). Glad vacation is rolling along. Talk to you soon.

JoAnna,
I know that you really worked on school 'stuff' while you lounging at the beach. I hope that you took pictures of you working. Enjoy the sun and I'll see you soon. Tell Hannah hello.
