It is better to regret the things you have done
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

If she doesn't adore you, she's craxy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ideally, I'd recommend a head nod. Saying hi without actually having to talk. You're friendly, but not making a big thing.
Not that she hates you.

Jesse is wise. (I get silly protective of you.)

Go with the head nod, Tom.
That heathen child is ridiculously adorable. Her beauty and inimitable personality don't quit!
On other fronts, Grace strikes a pose, and gives me a funny look, while Noah works on lifting his giant noggin.

I can't get over how big those noodles are!

She and her friend were sitting by the exit, so I couldn't walk past without acknowledging them. Her friend talked to me; she didn't say a word.
Grace & Noah == Cute.

They just keep growing! It's like magic!

Yay for acknowledging them, Tom. And if it didn't work out with you two, it just didn't. But you can always be civil.

I forgot it was the first Sunday of the month, AKA Fast & Testimony Sunday in the Mormon Church. The theory is that you eat nothing before services and donate the money represented by the food you didn't eat as a special offering. And just in case you weren't in church this morning, a member of the priesthood and a designated 12-year-old boy (priest in training) goes door to door to hand out envelopes you can put your offering into.
They were just at my door, with an envlope with Hubby's name on it. He was officially made a member decades ago, and a little thing like never stepping foot in one of their services for 20 years isn't enough for you to no longer be a member. Normally he intercepts the church reps before I do, and he'll give them a run around of "It's better to have peace at home" thing that their prophets go on about.
I have never been a member of the Mormon Church, and I can conceive of no situation where I ever would be a member. I finally had to pin Hubby down and demand a statement of whether I was keeping him from attending a church he believed in. He gave me a 90% convincing argument that I wasn't. The thing is, I cannot understand why he lets the church think he's still a member who's only being kept from the path of righteous observance because of a heathen wife who he can't bring to the true path. His reasoning is because he doesn't want to be obviously in opposition to the prevaling world view, in case some sort of social warfare breaks out.
I sent the "give us money" tag team away politely, but I dislike having those judgemental twits at my door.
