Wear Flats or Be Flat

There were always two reasons why I didn't wear heels. The first being that my very own handsome prince is about 1/2 inch taller than me, but if you include the fact that I have hair and he doesn't, we look about the same height. It never bothered him if I wore heels and was taller than him, but it always bothered me.

Not anymore, though. I'm over it. A lot of couples, I've since noticed, don't let the same issue bother them, either.




Let me point out that I've been married longer than any of these celebrity couples. Did Darin and I start a trend? We hip, you know.

I only have one obstacle left to be able to wear heels:


Can anybody teach me how to WALK in them?

No, I haven't forgotten the Trip of 2008, where I flip-flopped in the middle of a downtown intersection during morning traffice. And I wasn't wearing flip-flops.

Any tips would be appreciated.

(And speaking of "falling", I have my first basketball game tonight. Wish me luck. Or fast and pray for me, that might be of more help...)

Regret

"If you can't be a good example, you'll have to be a horrible warning."

Summer 2008: In one of our FHEs a long time ago, we read a talk in The Friend about regret. In essence, we read that we should try to live our life so that we wouldn't have any regrets. Even though we taught this for the kids' benefit, I haven't forgotten it.

November 2008: Our ward did a 40 day fast for missionary work. Our ward mission leader challenged everyone to pray for a person. I fasted and prayed, and got my answer.

Last night: Enrichment Night. I'm going, I even invited my sister. On the way home from work, I think to ask my friend that I've been praying for. TERROR washes over me. This lady is extremely nice and absolutely WOULD NOT be offended if I asked her. Why was I scared?

I got home, and was so "busy" that I didn't have time to call her before I left. Enrichment was great, and I know my friend would have loved it.

Fast forward to right now: REGRET.

Aaaaaahhh!

Learn from me, folks. Learn.

My Five:
1. Second chances?

2. Cooking.

3. Gloves.

4. Hugs from my kids and husband every morning before I leave.

5. Friends.

Happy Inauguration Day!

In honor of the event, I no longer have the flu.

Seriously, though. What a great occasion!

My Five:
1. I was well enough to go ice skating last night for FHE. It was my kid's first time, and IT WAS SO FUN! We had a blast!

2. Enrichment tonight: it's Nifty to be Thrifty!

3. My husband holding the fort down (and sanitizing it) while I slept for a day and a half.

4. America. I feel so patriotic today.

5. My sister is doing a giveaway on her blog. She is SO talented, and anyone would be lucky to win her handmade cards. Remember, cheap is good - GIVEAWAYS are better!
