Exciting Adventures

So on Friday I was at Payless buying shoes for Jr Prom (which was super duper amazingly fantastic by the way!) Anyways, I was at Payless with my mother dearest and little sister dearest. As I was browsing, finding amazing magicalness like yellow shoes that only cost 7 dollars, and also brown shoes to match my dress that cost quite a bit more than $7, this weird lady comes up to my mom and asks in her weird voice, "Are these you're daughters? They're beeaaauuutiful! Have they ever considered modeling? The reason I ask is, I have an agency! Just give me your number and we'll call you tomorrow!" Then my mom said that if we were interested we'd call her. Needless to say, we didn't call her. My madre doesn't think modeling is a real job, and she doesn't want us to have to wear immodest clothes for it. And I have no time for it. Haha, it's funny though, because I used to joke about how I could be a model if I wanted, because I'm tall enough, and my mom said, "No! You'd have to wear immodest clothes!" and I said I could be a parka model. I'd wear big fluffy coats that are possibly the most unflattering things ever and reveal absolutely nothing. So I had the chance to have my dream fulfilled. By a weirdo. I heard her a little bit later from across the store accosting some other poor person, with pretty much the same spiel as she gave us. And she smelled faintly like cigarette smoke. And she seemed like she was kind of crazy.

Anyways, as long as I'm kinda ish on the subject, Jr's was amazing! For our day date we went sledding, and that was pretty much the funnest activity EVER! I haven't been sledding in forever, so it was awesome to go again! Haha, I even improved by the end, and didn't wipe out nearly as often :). Each time I fell out of my sled my jeans left blue streaks on the snow. It was pretty much awesome. After sledding and swinging on the swings at the park and drinking hot chocolate, it was time to go home and get ready. My mom offered to do my hair, and decided she would curl it and put it up, but as she was curling it she kept saying that she had no idea what to do next, and just didn't know what she was doing. Much as this was just instilling confidence in me, I was beginning to get a bit nervous. Then I remembered that during the summer one of my young women's leaders had told me if I ever needed someone to do my hair for a dance, she would be happy to. I called her up and asked if it was too late notice for her, and she said it wasn't, so we drove over to her house, I ran in and saw her son and his date, then she did my hair. She made it look gorgeous, and only took about 15 minutes. My hero. Anyways, then my date came and picked me up, we went to somebody's house for dinner (we had lasagna. 'twas delicious), and then we went to the dance. I realized as we were leaving that I had forgotten my ticket, so we had to drive quickly over to my house (which was luckily only about 5 minutes away) so I could sprint in and get it. Then we went to the dance. It was a lot of fun. I don't really know what to say about it. Afterward we went to the house of one of the guys in our group and watched The Princess Bride. Or at least part of it, but then I had to be home, so we weren't able to finish it. So yeah. Those were my exciting adventures of buying shoes and going to Jr Prom.
