The sun will come out tomorrow.

I'm sure it will somewhere, but no where near where I'm currently being detained/living.

I went to sign up for the aforementioned boot camp. It's full. It was nearly full at 6:30 this morning. The waiting list is also full.

In other news it's warmed up four degrees to -2 since I got here. Just two more degrees and we'll hit our high for the day.

Remind me, why do people live here??

Candice, this one's for you. Or: I miss being thought of as funny by more than just me.

Last week Jeremy and I went to our niece's birthday party. Thanks to the awesome weather here it got all foggy and misty around 8:00 at night. As we were walking to the car, wading through the mist, I said:

This is how horror movies start.

Jeremy didn't respond correctly. Rather, he didn't respond the way I wanted him to. Candice, why don't you tell him what the correct response is?

Today I read this. I was linked there by CNN.com. It was a refreshing change from the usual bombings, murders, kidnappings, and sports.

The part that got me? Friends differ from husbands or boyfriends, partnerships that are layered with complexities (physical and financial). A friendship is a unique, wonderful relationship that you choose to grow, cultivate and nurture.

I'm recently married and moved far, far away from my little support group. Sure we still have the phone and email. But we were in-person bonders.

I love my husband. He's a great guy. We have so much fun together! We talk about everything and laugh about even more.

But he doesn't have the foundation that Wendy and I built while rescuing Mickey and Minnie during recess in AM kindergarten. The knowledge of why "Russia or Bust" that The Group shares is a mystery to him. While I know he would play Girl Talk with me and that he did watch Return to Me and What's Up, Doc? are nice they're no comparison to telling Janalyn her landing gear is down and she's clear. (Remember the wonder that was your van in high school? [For the record I had no vehicle in high school. I envied Janalyn's car.]) Sure Jeremy is ticklish but we could tickle Finny from across the room. Speaking of Finny, "Look! A train!" And keep the apple juice away from MeLynn and Jill -- just in case.

In my new ward the part I dreaded the most was Relief Society. The rest of the week I would have Jeremy there to be my friend. During Relief Society I was surrounded by these women who were supposed to eventually be my friends. But I have nothing in common with them. They won't get my humor at first so I'm afraid to try. So during RS I would cry, quietly in the back row, surrounded by people I hoped wouldn't notice me.

I guess I'm trying to say I love my friends and the wonderful support they are. And that I'm glad I was called to be a Sunbeam teacher.
