Today, at church they sent around two sign up sheets for food. One for a funeral and one for the ward party. They mentioned the items needed, including chips. I told myself, "Yes, I am signing up for chips"!! I've got such a busy week, and I can just stop and buy a couple bags of chips. (by the way, since my last blog you may think I'm focusing a lot on chips right now, but I'm not)
When the clip board reached me, I couldn't do it. There were other things with no signatures yet, and I just couldn't do it. I signed up for green salad and a veggie tray, instead. (And I could never bring the pre made ones from the store. They are so gross.) I watched the young mother sitting beside me sign up for the chips, and smiling all the while. Why couldn't I do that?? I just want to know.

You need to take your own advice that you gave to me about 10 years ago....you said, "You have got to lower your standards!" So, I'll say the same---lower your standards and buy the nasty pre-made veggie tray from Sam's Club. It'll save you on time and just remember to not eat it when you go to the party. I bet most people won't even notice.
I agree! No one will even know that you bought yours at Sams. To make it seem a little more fresh, mix up a quick dip and put in the center of it. But, if I wanted to be honest, I too would have signed up for something that looked like they needed more of. So yes, I got it from my mother.
You couldn't do it because you are Marion's sister. You always teased her about that, but you have the same disease, chronic overachieveritis. Maybe you're just nice and don't mind going to a little extra work so something is nice. Good on ya!
I just signed up to take chips in my ward... Sheer laziness!! Go easy when you're busy and don't when you have time!!
