A Stitch In Time Saves Nine

To help make the Mormons work as a well honeyed beehive, all the members of the church get what is called a "calling". It is basically a job you are asked to do voluntarily for an unspecified amount of time. For example, you may be asked to lead the music in a meeting. This may be once a week and take 5 minutes. Or, you may be asked to be a Bishop of congregation. This is our equivalent to a Pastor. It is a very demanding, non paid, full time job, after your real income job. (Members of the church can be demanding!) Callings come and go and usually it coincides with some talent you have like playing the piano. I think I must have a talent for fear and galvanizing others. I have had the "calling" as Emergency Preparedness leader for 3 years. As the Emergency Preparedness Leader it was my job to Galvanize our members.

Now I want to SHOCK and EXCITE You into being disaster ready. Why? Because I love you. (Not so I can say I told you so as Kalia dreamed I did the other night!) haha. Please get some food storage ready. Have some essentials on hand.  Prepare now to help your children be calm and safe. As my mom would say "A stitch in time saves nine."

SAVE YOUR TOES

I went skiing this past April, yes, APRIL! It was really icy and I rented boots. The whole time my feet were killing me and when the day was through I had blisters on my ankles. The boots had been worn by so many people that the padding was worn out. My poor toesies. I found some great sales on ski equipment here. See you on the slopes!

Mountain Gear has THE CUTEST COMFY CLOTHES.  Most of you probably know that I am such a baby! I only like comfy clothes that are great for all weather. I hate clothes too tight, too hot and too revealing. I like sporty, easy to care for and casual clothing. I think living in Arizona for so long taught me that. When it is 117 degrees, cool and comfort are way more important than style. But Mountain gear has all three. Click on the link for sales and make sure to check out the men or women's clothing.

DANG IT!

OH! Don't you HATE IT when someone breaks into your car? This is the second time in two years that my car has been broken into at my parents house in Salt Lake City. Both times the windows were bashed in with something like a hammer. The first time all they got was a briefcase in the back seat that had ALL MY GENEALOGY in it. No joke. Not a penny did they get, but Priceless information. Thankfully I have God on my side and I have been able to replace and find miracle upon miracles to help my work there.
But a few days ago, the window to Lily's new car was bashed in and they stole her little purse from behind the seat. And guess what? They walked away with a credit card that had
-$6.00 on it! Ha Ha Suckers! It did have a Priceless (to Lily) supply of lip gloss!
 So, what have I learned from this experience besides bring in EVERYTHING from your car?
1. Have a copy of your license and all of your children's license on your computer.
2. Have a copy of your birth certificate on your computer.
3. Have a copy of your credit cards on your computer.
4. If you move to a new state, make sure that you have a copy of your birth certificate handy and not packed away in a storage unit in New River, AZ where they are happily locked away in 117 degree weather.
5. Have copies of your insurance companies in your home.
6. Place a sticker on your car that says #walmartorbust or #isupportfoodstamps or #theneighborshavebetterstuff
7. Try not to swear in front of the children.
