* how about a little cake in your face?*
So last night was the wedding reception for Bonita and Charles. It was stinkin' hilarious. We had this really pretty carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and red rosebuds on it. Bonita and Charles do the whole "let's ceremonially put our hands on this knife at the same time and cut this cake like one of us couldn't do it alone." It's kind of like a three-legged race for cake cutting. By tying yourselves together you are both handicapped and therefore much less capable of getting things done.

I guess I have a warped view of marriage.

Carrying on...they cut the cake and take a little bit to feed to each other and Charles ends up rubbing a red frosting rose into Bonita's hair and all over her face. Luckily, I was there to catch the whole thing with my lovely digital camera. Those pics will end up in some funny places. It was tremendous. It was almost too mushy for me, but these people are my friends and I will love them even if they are googly-eyed monsters.

The rest of us went out to the Grapevine last night for a bit of post-reception goofing off. I ended up singing with this Jimmy Buffet looking dude named Ernie who could play guitar. My friends all shoved me toward the stage and I ended up singing a few songs with him. Don't get me wrong. I'm only going to live this life once and I plan to get on stage every chance I get and make a fool out of myself.

I am a complete ham and I make no apologies.

I am more than happy to be an idiot if it makes people happy for a few minutes. There isn't a stitch of shyness in me at all and I like it that way. God doesn't make mistakes (even if it is a really loopy and quirky girl who just happens to know every word to every song...EVER).

By the way, be sure and look to the left and notice my new banner ad. I decided to put that one on here b/c I just got that album and it absolutely rocks. Check out the song called "My Girls Ex-Boyfriend." (or at least look up the lyrics and be a cheapskate). To find a guy like that...wow.

Tonight, we're going to minister at the Florence Crittendon home in downton Lex. What an amazing opprtunity to give some really deserving girls a Christmas. I really think that if Jesus was walking around here, he wouldn't be in the churches and he wouldn't be hanging out with the governor or mayor. He'd be with the Florence Crittendon girls giving them some unconditional love.

So that's what I plan to do, too.
