Tonight we had a St. Patrick's Potluck. I took pizza and popcorn because I didn't feel like cooking and I was running out of time. I bought a pizza from Little Ceasars and a green tray and bowl from the dollar store. I stuck popcorn in the bowl. Steve was ambitious and baked a 4-layer cake. He came early too so he caught me in the kitchen cutting my pizza and emptying my popcorn bag. Say what you will, my tray was empty at the end of the night. People in general enjoy pizza. I cut each slice in half to spread it out.

Steve has never done this before in his life so it was fun watching him assemble his cake. He looked like he was laying tile. He slapped on the frosting between the layers so although he had 3 containers of frosting he ended up using EVERYTHING. It was fun to watch him. These guys from Parley's ward sat down by me so I talked to them. Cindy sat with me first. I had fun having her on my team and then I also enjoyed talking to her at our pi party.

The guys were Cameron and Brent and they reminded me of high school. They were very friendly, just a little worldly and they kept making comments filled with sexual innuendo. Definitely NOT what I'm all about BUT they didn't know anyone and they sat by me. I'm certainly not going to make them feel horrible. I kept trying to include Cindy in the conversation but she remained quiet for the most part until she ended up leaving to another table. It's hard to strike that balance of being kind when people don't share the same standards. It was very strange to confront that at a church activity.

Brent was sweet but flirty. Cameron was completely inappropriate. I had to keep reeling both of them in. After Cameron told me about all these awful movies he loves that I haven't seen and don't plan on ever seeing somehow we got into the who's hotter game with celebrities. This was a lot of fun for some weird reason. They'd pick 2 celebrity guys and I'd have to pick who was hotter. I did the same thing with women. It reminded me of meeting nonmembers and hanging out with them. I enjoyed it but it's not something I would do with anyone and it's not what I'd choose to do but it was one way of having fun together without the garbage. ALTHOUGH the entire activity could probably be seen as trash anyway.

I think I'm a lot like Steve this way. I can relate to people from ALL walks of life. ALTHOUGH I would not hang out with everyone. I thanked them for coming and invited them to come back BUUUT I don't see myself

I'm glad I got to see Steve assemble his cake. He was so cute. He won a prize for having one of the greenest dishes. He asked me if I wanted his Samoas he received for a prize since he already bought some earlier. That earned him 5 stars. OF COURSE I am more than willing to take any unwanted girl scout cookies ANY TIME from anyone ESPECIALLY from Steve!!! That was very sweet of him. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. How often does that happen? I'll still take it AND I did. I ate a row and I stuck the rest in the fridge.
