What the Hack?

About a month ago someone hacked into my dad's email account and sent everyone a very long very detailed testimonial about the benefits of using Viagra. Knowing my very conservative father and the ultra conservative cooperation he works for I found the situation hilarious.

I laughed and laughed and laughed.

This week someone hacked into my email account and sent everyone on my contact list a very long very detailed testimonial about the benefits of using Viagra.

People who received said information include Simon's school teacher, members of my church, and of course my dad...who laughed and laughed laughed.

Nobody Else Will Because I'm the Beast

Sunday was my last day as the children's chorister at my church. It was a hard position for me to fill. I can't sing, play an instrument, or even read music. I've never taken music lessons or been in choir. But, I like kids. They are horrendously entertaining. Hopefully my love for them helped balance out my lack of musical skill.

So, as I was saying Sunday was my last day and I was all emotional. (Just thinking about their crazy voices singing about our Savior gets me all choked up.) At the end of singing time I bore my testimony and told them goodbye. I was very sad.

Later that day I was blessed with little visitors, notes, etc. It cheered me immensely as did a card I received the next day. It read, in part: "I will miss you as our primary choruster. Even if nobody else does."

It reminded me of another note I received. This one was in my yearbook, written by one of my 8th graders, the last year I taught public school. It said, "Miss Evens, I will miss you. You are the beast."

Yes. I am the beast.
(Maybe that is why nobody else will miss me.)
