Boy am I a sucker
As many of you know, I am the single adult rep for my ward at church. I work with the other ward single adult reps and the stake single adult rep to organize events. Well, sometimes a stake will have a single adult conference that everyone in North Texas is invited to. Well, the church leadership decided that they didn't like the conferences to be be all willy nilly like that, so they all agreed to rotate the responsibility between all the stakes and have one every spring and one every fall. Every stake is donating a certain amount to the endeavour so that each conference has a budget of $6000. They scheduled all the stake for the next 6 years. Well, somehow, we, the Denton stake ended up with the 2nd one, the one this fall. So we are trying to plan this gig, and as much as I don't want to do it, I guess I'm committed. So Sunday, Linda (the Stake rep, or in other words, the boss. Also known as Ethan's grandmother.) was wanting to assign the committees. She asked if anyone would volunteer to chair a committee. Well, I looked around the room, and I quickly realized that I would end up in charge of something, so I should probably volunteer for something I was at least somewhat comfortable with before I got stuck with something I would really hate. So I looked over the choices, and I volunteered to chair the food committee. So, in September I have to provide at least three square meals for 400-600 people. Plan menus, buy the food, prepare the food, serve the food. Yikes. So yeah. Who's the sucker? I am! I am!

Wow that really sucks! You know there is an out though....kidnap Lawrence, head to Vegas and since you'll no longer qualify, suddenly get released as the Single Adult Rep. ;)
Kiera is a GENIUS!!! If you give me two hour's notice, I can be your best man of honor (or whatever).
The plan is genius. . .and one I have been suggesting to Lawrence every since they told us that we would be involved in planning a conference. *sigh*
Don't you have an army of minions? If not, I suggest you get one.
I do not have an army of minions as of yet, but I do have a lackey, and I fully intend to get an army of minions. As long as 3 or 4 can be called an army.
Wow I struggle with feeding me and little person forget about 400!
