More Correspondence

Dear Elder "The Giff" Nielsen -

Thank you for an entertaining fireside last night.  You know how I love a polished speaker who also uses sports anecdotes to get their point across.  Because you know, I played sports down to Wells High School, which is pretty much the same as the NFL, so I can totally relate.

Gracias,

Erin

PS Your hands are massive.



Dear Fox 4 Affiliate -

I really appreciate you coming to church to interview The Giff.  However, I did not appreciate that because of it, the meeting started twenty minutes late.  You see, I have an extremely cantankerous fetus in my uterus that manifests her displeasure at being fed irregularly with waves of nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. That extra twenty minutes was almost the death of me.  Ok.  So maybe it was my fault because I forgot to pack a snack, but whatever.

Regards,

Erin



Dear Loud Laughing Lady -

The Giff was clever and witty, but not that clever and witty. I wonder if you are friends with Loud Commenting Lady.  If so, please tell her I missed her last night.

Thanks,

Erin



Dear Single Girl -

You've been home from your mission for at least four years.  It's time to get rid of the sister missionary clothes.  I think I'll stage an intervention.  My mother had to do it for me when I got home - she made me throw away most of my jumpers and my pioneer skirts.  Because let's face it, they were ugly.  If I can't talk you into getting rid of that black skirt will you at least consider getting rid of the mission shoes??

Bless  Your Heart,

Erin



Dear Makers and Installers of Women's Bathroom Stalls -

When making and installing bathroom stalls, you really are going to need to take into account the pregnant women.  Because of a massive belly, the only way to get out of the stall is to back up, straddle the toilet, and then swing the door as wide as it goes, while trying not to fall over or step in the puddle of urine someone left on the right-hand side of the commode. 

Thank you for your consideration,

Erin



Dear Makers of the New A-Team Movie -

Here's the deal.  You can't make an A-Team movie and not include gold jewelry for the new Mr. T.  It just wasn't right.  I also didn't hear a single, "I pity the fool!"  It was like getting an ice cream cone with no ice cream.

A Little Disappointed,

Erin

PS I love Bradley Cooper.



Dear Mother Cat -

I really wish you hadn't taught your kitties how to hide over the weekend.  Now I can't catch a single one of them.

Upset,

Erin

I never understood why most bathroom stall doors swing in. Really, when you get in there there's nowhere for the door to go except run right into you. Especially when you have a big pregnant belly. Can someone please explain that one?

Kimberly said...

I totally agree with your bathroom stall comment! I hate that the stalls are tiny and the doors close from the inside - why don't the doors close from the outside like the handicap stalls?? :)

No gold jewelry or "I pity the fool"?? That really would ruin the movie!! haha

I have no idea who this The Giff is. Is he trying to steal my man, The Hoff's, moniker?

Erin said...

The Giff is a former BYU/NFL quarterback who is now an area authority seventy. I'm pretty sure, if anything, The Hoff is the moniker stealer. Wait. How old's The Hoff? And was he famous before Baywatch? In either case, The Hoff has an advantage because I'm pretty sure The Giff has never posed with SharPei puppies...and therefore, has never been featured on ANY birthday cakes.

No gold jewelry?! The horror. And oh my yes that Bradley Cooper is hotness.

Amber Bailey Stevenson said...

I slammed my prego belly into the bathroom stall door many a time. That is too funny. I just love to read your blog and laugh. Your the best! :)

The Livingstones said...

I also want to stage an intervention for a very good childhood friend of mine. I think you know who I'm talking about. I think the wardrobe has deteriorated since the mission. I just want her to have one nice dress and a respectable pair of shoes.

Dear Erin,

On behalf of Fox 4, I apologize that we caused the meeting to start 20 minutes late. Please forgive us.

Very apologetic,

Kari
