E-Mail

I have received some funny e-mail's from some of my family members lately and I just wanted to share.

From Jenna (my 10 year old sister)

Howdy partner. I'm great today!! How ware you? What are you doing this weekend? I have no clue of what we are doing this weekend. Have you found a cute guy yet?I have not. Maybe you can find one for me. Do you have a calling in your church? I have nothing else to say so bye.

-Jenna-

I'm not sure why she thinks I can find her a cute guy, since I haven't had much luck myself, but I'll give it a try....Anyone know a cute 10 year-old boy for my sister???

This one is from my brother Eric. He is serving his mission in Brazil and has been out for about 5 months. He has a tendency to write in half English/half translated Portuguese. So I have translated it all into English for you! (Aren't I nice?)
i noticed that a good indication that the members are not keeping
the word of wisdom is when they have cases of empty beer bottles
outside their house.
i don't know maybe its just me.


Funny family huh?

Personal Ad

At the Provo City Library I am the one that approves flyers that go the on the Community Bulletin Board. We post things that are of interest to the community.
The other day someone brought this in for me to approve.


I did not end up putting it on the community bulletin board because it didn't quite fit our specifications, but i did bring it home for all to enjoy!
I think that this flyer is hilarious!!!
Take special notice of his address!

Pen pal anyone?

The Huxtables

So I borrowed season 1 of the Cosby Show from Em the other day. I have been having a fun time re-living my childhood while watching the episodes. I remember watching The Cosby Show growing up and I still think it is as funny today as it was back then! I had never seen the pilot before, but so far the rest of them seem familiar! Yippee for TV shows on DVD.

Spell to look Magnificant

The book "Supermarket Sorceress" came in the other day. So Leah, here is the spell to make you look magnificant (as if you need it!)

Ingredients
apples
snow peas
avocado
cherries


Remember Snow White and the witch who tried to poison her with an apple? Don't believe all the fairy tales you read. Apples have long been used by witches for love, health, and beauty spells. One old wives' tale mentions eating a half tablespoon of apple cider vinegar a day to retain youthfulness. Norse legend tells how the gods and goddesses eat apples to keep their good looks. Remember the princess and the pea? Another snow job! Peas (especially snow peas) are sacred to Venus, the goddess of beauty. To place a pea pod under your pillow will actually insure that you get your beauty rest. Avocado is another food sacred to Venus. Rich in oils, it is used in countless beauty products to rejuvenate the skin. Cherries promote self-confidence and happiness, the keys to feeling beautiful.
Take an apple and cut it in half horizontally. You should find a five-pointed star at its center. This is the witches' magical symbol, representing the perfection of the human form. The top point is the head, the center points are two arms, and the bottom points are two legs. Visualize yourself glowing like a perfect star.
Color also plays a part in this ritual. If you want to look great for romantic reasons, use a red apple. To make someone green with envy or to look good for a job interview, use a green apple. Golden apples are recommended f or people in the arts or anyone wanting to make an impression upon the public. Eat half of the apple and give the other half as an offering. Simply place it on your alter or under a tree.
Now peel the skin off of hte avocado. The avocado is also known as the alligator pear. Imagine all your "alligator" traits being removed. The alligator lives in dark, swampy areas. Release all the murkey and unattractive thoughts you have about yourself, shedding them with the skin of the avocado. Slice the fruit into seven pieces and remove the pit. (Seven is the sacred number of Venus.) Mash the slices into a paste as if you were maing guacamole. Use the paste as a face mask. As you cover your face visualize all your blemishes disappearing.
Now take seven snow peas in the right hand and seven cherries in the left hand. Eat them alternatively. The left hand rules the conscious and "seen" world. What you are doing is simultaneously creating beauty both within and without. This ritual should be done at least one to three days befor you intend to strut your stuff!

I'm not exactly sure if this book is being serious, or if they are making fun of witchcraft, but it is entertaining none the less!
