Friends...I have the amazing abilty to burn my forehead nearly every time I attempt to use a curling iron. I suppose this is why I was born with naturally curly hair...in a gracious attempt to spare me from such injuries/deformities. No matter, sometimes I fight nature and try to have "straight but curly" hair...and end up looking like Mikhail Gorbachev. Yes. Just in time for Thanksgiving...I may have a nice scabby on the middle of my forehead. Past experience has taught me that the longer it burns in the morning, the darker the scab. Today's burning lasted only until about 10 am...so only a moderate scab. While Mikhail's looks to be a birthmark...I feel a special kinship...with this unknown Russian leader. Who knew?Now. Completely unrelated story (are you surprised?). Yesterday in relief society, we were asked to stand, state our name and one word that describes us...ONE WORD...how in the world?? Many of you are instantly thinking "random," "wiggly,""talkative,"...I'm not sure what you're thinking. But among the many words I considered, "Lucky" stood out. Yes, indeed. Other than the curling iron difficulties, and a few other bumps and bruises, life is pretty good. I chose lucky specificially because I have amazing people in my life, friends and family in both Arizona and Utah who love me and let me know they do. I love this. I am learning important lessons in my life. Some of them are big, some are small. Some hurt...some don't. But all in all...I'm a lucky kid.

after you stood and said your one word, then did you say, "and girl two rows up, let me just fix that loop in your hair." cuz if you did, your word could have also been helpful.
In High School I use to have Anna Iron my hair.... like with a iron that irons shirts. One time she burnt my head so bad that it scabbed and was super bad!! What we do for our hair.
Well I can hardly wait to see the resemblance! You are hilarious, Pally!! And really, it's all the rest of us that are lucky...
I love reading your blog! I hope your scab is gone now. :) Ouch! I miss you Jules! I really wanna do something soon. I love you girl!
Were you really able to say just one word????????? I only know this because you are so much like your mama. I was thinking...adorable!
