The Land of Misfit Toys

Anyone that knows me well, knows that I have a hard time focusing. Especially when there are a lot of people to watch, one of my favorite past times. This is why Anna and I are friends... our teams grow every time we get together.

So it should come as no surprise that attending church in the Land of Misfit Toys (thanks Cynthia) causes me to learn nothing. I am so distracted by the congregation (misfits) that I miss half (ok, really more like 90%) of the meeting. And this was even more verified when the girl next to me asked me a question and I just stared and said I had no idea what was even being discussed.

And to show you it isn't all my fault, here is some of the eye-catchingness behaviors....

One girl took off her shoes - which is not appropriate in any public setting. I was mostly disgusted in this one to the point of wanting to get up and leave.

Another girl was putting lotion on her elbows. Not her hands (which doesn't really bother me much) but her dry, crusty elbows.

Another girl must have had a rough night, because she wore her sunglasses throughout the meeting. And the class was being held in an inside room without any windows, so the sunlight was not a factor. (And she has done this more than once).

And my most favorite is the girl who wears the spring shoes. (Sorry dad, but they really are sad looking. And at least you wear yours with pants so they are kind of hidden). Hers happen to be black lace up spring shoes, and she wore a peach colored jumper with them. Not awesome! (On a side note, she decided to come to class 30 minutes late and then wanted to sit next to me. Being a larger girl, with a small aisle, she tried to "squeeze" past me which wasn't feasible. In the end her spring shoes stepped all over my feet and her peach jumper was all up in my business. It was not a pretty sight, and her apologies really didn't make me feel better).
