South Dakota / An Awkward Moment

South Dakota -  Stewart is in South Dakota this weekend and raced the Chem-E-Car that he and his fellow chemical engineering team built this semester.  They took 2nd place and will move onto Nationals.  Apparently BYU has never made it to Nationals, so we're all very proud. 

An Awkward Moment-
I was taking a walk with my neighbor who is from Russia and we were discussing how we have had the 1:00 time slot for church for almost 3 years now.  yadda... yadda. yadda... I mention something to the effect of how much I like crock pots. And then she says, " I've never eaten the crock pot dish."  I wasn't sure what she meant. So I just responded with the classic, "Oh."  Then I thought she was going to continue to explain what crock pot recipe she hasn't eaten.  And 30-40 seconds of awkward silence passes.  So I change the subject to something about how her baby isn't sleeping well at night.  And while she is explaining her crazy night with her little girl, I realize she didn't know that a crock pot was an appliance.  So then I felt bad that I didn't explain what a crock pot is and realize that during our awkward silence she was probably waiting for me to explain.  I'm sure she doesn't really care, she's the nicest girl ever... but it still bugs me that I made the mistake.  I know the next time I see her, all I'm going to think about is "crock pot". 

 TOP 5
1. Having a FHE on the First Presidency and the Quorum of the 12 that actually stuck.  And Evie and Stew making a game of who can name the apostle first during General Conference.
2. My sister Livy is moving to Arizona. Yay!
3. Tide detergent Pods. They smell good too.
4. Black Licorice
5. The Hunger Games. Loved, loved it!  Especially the character,Caesar Flickerman, and that great big smile when he was on camera. It made me laugh every time.

BOTTOM 5
1. Unable to "will" Sunny's baby to be born.  Apparently, it only works on me. Sorry Sun.
2. Stew got his fingers smashed in the door when the wind decided to slam it shut.
3.  Wasting time playing "Triple Bears" on the Ipad. It's like a Tetris addiction for me. Stewart and I both get sucked into the nonsense. 
4. Having a hard time sleeping when Stewart is gone. Which bugs me since I should be living it up with the whole bed to myself.
5. Another Kindergarten mom, that I see almost everyday while waiting to pick up Evie. She's really nice and easy to talk to, but she's constantly giving me unwanted advice about this and that and then she will follow up in a few days, to see if I've tried her stupid suggestions. I try not to use the word "stupid" unless I really mean it.  And I really mean it!
