Dinner Groups

I was in Annette's group that met at the Bevan's house. This was a biiig group. The Hawaii boys were in my group again. We had hamburgers and sides. Yummy, good company but no one exciting and/or no one particularly good-looking although everyone was very nice. Dave Staheli was there and he is tall and good-looking. I don't like that he has the same degree I have only from North Texas. Not that anything's wrong with it.

When I interviewed with the Church History Library my interviewer made sure to emphasize how he never worked there and was in fact an intern. I'm not sure what he does at BYU library. I do know he is brilliant. I wonder if we'd be competing for jobs although I don't think he has the experience I have. BUUUT even with that I don't think he was really honest with anyone about working there or even about what he does now.

I don't like that but I'm not sure why I hold that against him. I have had opportunities to get to know him better but I'm not interested for some reason. He dresses well too.

Sister Bevan wanted us to share something unusual about ourselves. Teancum one of the Hawaii boys told us how he once had a strange skin tag on his ear so he used to get He-man helmut haircuts to cover this until one day he had it removed by a doctor. After that Sister Bevan told us when she was a Senior in his school her mother told her that she and her father had been talking and felt she needed to get a nose job. She did and she described the painful bloody process to us.

I don't know how helpful that was. I can't imagine my parents telling me that but then that's easy for me to say because I've never had a big nose. I never liked the spaces in my teeth and I did something about that as soon as I could but I never had my parents tell me they thought I needed braces but then I think that's different. My grandparents put my mother in braces and they told her she needed them. She told me she wanted them however and would smile with her mouth closed before she got them.

Is a nose job the same thing? I will get my children to wear braces if I think they need them. I don't think I'd tell them they need a nose job however or pay for it when they're still in high school. I don't have a problem with her getting it. I just hope she wanted it done. I'm not sure how I feel about her parents telling her this and then helping her actually do it.
