You are such a cool Mommy! <BR/><BR/>You should have told me you needed to discuss such things as Pampers and Huggies... I am very opinionated about that topic!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152738466164349096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345164171249516937.post-32844802525128230492008-10-14T21:43:00.000-04:002008-10-14T21:43:00.000-04:00Pampers for sure. And pumping... ugh.... The thou...Pampers for sure. And pumping... ugh.... The thought of doing that now makes me shudder. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure you'll do fine at the conference. When I'm in those situations, there are some people that I find no problem <BR/>being chatty with, and some people that I have excrutiatingly awkward moments with trying to think of things to talk about. It just depends on the person. Hopefully you'll be able to find someone there like Brooke who will talk to a wall for hours and all you have to do is sit back and listen :). (Yep, you know it's true, B.)

Chris is so good at it and he keeps trying to give me pointers, but all of his ideas of things to say to people seem like they would be nosy if I said them. I'm going to write a blog about it sometime - I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I think some people are just born with good small-talking abilities and others aren't. I'm not sure if I'll ever learn. But I guess that's a defeatist attitude. Anyway, good luck with coming up with a list of things to talk about - that is actually the best I've ever been able to do - when I have predetermined subjects in my mind.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369662617248103139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345164171249516937.post-62885105569069802492008-10-13T20:06:00.000-04:002008-10-13T20:06:00.000-04:00Maybe... but:a. he did that joke in high schoolb. ...Maybe... but:<BR/>a. he did that joke in high school<BR/>b. he pulls it off beautifully (if you don't believe me, look at his photos on facebook)<BR/>c. we are talking about potential missionaries here, little chance that they're the clubbin' type anyway. :)Hannah Attawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14898483837734598313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345164171249516937.post-38941888395301302482008-10-13T19:29:00.000-04:002008-10-13T19:29:00.000-04:00I'm not so sure that's a good idea.

You and your brother are two peas in a pod.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799786365193017662noreply@blogger.com
