The Top 10 Things I Refuse To Do

1. Watch The Office. Just because everyone else is doing it. I refuse to blend in with the crowd.

2. Go to a football game. Why would I want to sit for 4 hours and freeze to death watching a bunch of people jump on top of each other when I could be home cuddled up in a blanket, reading Pride and Prejudice for the 100th time? Okay, maybe if a really cute boy asked me to go with him . . .

3. Eat brats. Barf. Same goes for sauerkrat. Who in their right mind would want to eat bloated, greasy sausages and pickled cabbage?

4. Go bulimic. Read Suzy's blog for details.

5. Go on a roller coaster. I can just get the stomach flu again for a much cheaper price.

6. Talk to Confederate Man again at work. For those who haven't heard this delightful story, he's a patron who comes in, wearing a confederate hat (to make a statment, I think), and proceeds to talk with anyone who will listen for at least 1/2 an hour straight. His questions range everywhere from "Where did Spencer W. Kimball say that the Adam-God theory was false?" to "Have you heard about how the Sword of Laban is supposed to remain unsheathed until the Second Coming?" Talk about weird. It's somewhat reminiscent of my days on the mission. Fortunately I learned a good trick back then: "Ignoring is bliss!" I think he's finally starting to get the hint. Either that or he's just too absorbed in researching whether or not Adam had a bellybutton.

7. Give up on reading the Old Testament. I may have started it over 2 years ago, but I'm not giving up now. I finally made it to Nahum and I'm determined to hold out until the end. Only 27 pages to go!

8. Go tanning. With my fair skin, I don't think skin cancer will need any extra help.

9. Let Becca leave any more moldy bread on my car. Pranksters, beware! I'll be plotting a comeback for any knaves foolhardy enough to try.

10. Go without dark chocolate for longer than 24 hours. I think I might start experiencing withdrawal symptoms if I did. Or at very least, I'd be perilously in danger of losing my membership in the Wilson chocoholics club, and that would be a tragedy.

I agree with you, except about roller coasters and Confederate Man. And, maybe I'd like to see just one little scene of The Office. But most of all, I'd like to see Becca's scooter covered in moldy bread!

Oh wow, I thought when you first said Confederate Man he was going to try and convince you to the confederate cause. He sounds even worse than that! Whenever someone starts gibbering about the Sword of Laban, it's time to send them to enroll in the Tenets (er, Principles) of the Gospel class I had. He sounds like he would love it. (Also, way to go on the OT, so close!!!!)

What a great list! I love it. Keep those creative juices going! It's great. --Mom

just so you know, Kim, when "everyone's doing it" (ie watching the Office) that doesn't necessarily guarantee it to be bad! Like I should know though...I haven't seen it either. :)

HEY! My scooter's on a strictly no-carb diet. :)
ps--i haven't watched the office yet either.
