My Duty To God And The Queen

I think had I started this post last night or even earlier this morning, it would have been a lot happier. When I drove to work this morning, my ever efficient iPod had 514 songs on it. Modest by all standards, but still a happy mix of all of my favourite songs.

Strangely when I plugged my iPod into my computer at work, it only had 447 song on it. But it wasn’t until I unplugged it that it now only has 219 songs on it.

Where are they all going?! I am beyond nervous to monkey with it anymore for fear of losing all my music. But what makes me most sad is that fact that I lost all of my playlists, including my current yearly cd. I get can the music back, or at least enough of it. But what is your damage? Stop breaking!

I am trying to keep my priorities in check. It is only music and I’ll get it figured out. But I am still sad.

Alright. Let’s move on with happier stories. If all Preferences went as well as Friday night did, I would have never retired. Yes. It was that good.

We went to our ward’s Pre-Preference Party and had a good time hanging out with my favourite ward. The dinner was amazing, the company full of fun and the pictures that were taken hopefully came out great.

We went back to my house to kill some time before going to the dance, but had such a good time there, that we only made it for the last fifteen minutes of the dance.

The dance always seems to be the worst part of the night. I am really not into dances, and if it were up to me, I would have just skipped it all together. Turns out he isn’t into dances either, and had I suggested that we not show up, he wouldn’t have been heartbroken.

We spent most of the night talking like chatterboxes, sharing all of our favourite stories and if you would have seen us, you would have never guessed that we have only been having real face to face conversations for a little over a month.

I couldn’t have asked for an easier night, or a better comeback. Thanks to everyone involved for making Preference 2008 such a success.

The rest of the weekend went by much too quickly and now we are all facing another long week of chaos. I am hoping to use my American citizenship to wrangle Thursday and Friday off of work. Sadly I don’t think it will work.

Peter Katz, tonight! Letters from Elder Garner! Grey Cup champs, the Calgary Stampeders!

Crossing my fingers, but not holding my breath.

As Always,
