Who Knew?

For our Enrichment this month we had a service auction. Every sister was to bring a service of their choice that they could auction off that night. The services were anonymous until you opened the envelope after it was won. Instead of money, we had points that everyone could earn by filling out a questionnaire. Some of the questions were church related. i.e. Did you read your scriptures today (5 points), Did you do your visiting teaching this month (15 points). And then there were some like, Did you exercise this week? (10 points). Anyway, one of the services that I offered was to do family haircuts. I didn't realize that that would be such a hot item. It went for the highest bid there! Also, now that word is out that I cut hair, I have done 4 haircuts this week! I think that I will continue to cut hair at this rate. If there's a demand for it, than why not? I "bought" with my points family home evening treats for a month. We love it!!

I think I would have bought that one too. Hair upkeep is way too expensive for me which is probably why my hair looks so BLAHHH all the time. There is a girl that does hair in our ward just out of her home and she makes $2000.00 a month!!! I wouldn't mind having that income just on the side. Good for you to be able to do that.

What fun times! Our ward did something similar, and it was a hit. Too bad we don't live closer, because you'd have another hair cutting client! I strongly dislike moving to new places, where I have to find new Doctors, Hairdressers, Dentists, etc!

You're lucky you have that great talent!

yeah, I agree that getting your hair done is super expensive. I'm already wondering what I'm going to do when I get down there. Mine is so prematurely gray that I have to get it done every 8-10 weeks. Thankfully, my sister in law does hair, and so I generally make it down to the Tri-Cities that often, but once we move...YIKES!

What a great idea...we need to do that in our ward. It would be really fun to find out the hidden talents of the sisters. Very neat.

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
