Skarph.

It's sunny today in San Luis. What a thought!
I almost wore a scarf, but I didn't because I wouldn't allow a scarf in May. This reminded me of the silly things in life. So, I will tell you a story of the past, rather than the Present.
To steal the phrase from Lindsey Kane...
So There I was: In choir in high school. It was Advanced Women's choir my senior year. My dear, sweet friend Chelsea was (Oh! I just thought of another story! Anyway...)writing on the white board what we'd wear for our annual Christmas Caroling. Oh, sorry--"Holiday Caroling"Whatever.
Someone said Mittens. Chelsea wrote mittens. 
Someone else said Beanies. Chelsea wrote Beanies.
Someone said Scarf. Chelsea wrote scarf. 
What happened next was a combination of Choral Cabin Fever and Erin. We liked to mess with people. So I said, "Chels, it's spelled S-K-A-R-P-H."
Chelsea asked me if I was sure, and I was like, "What you don't believe me? I'm a journalist." 
So it was that the words Skarph was on the board for 2 weeks. Even when we had to re-write the list onto the other board. Skarph remained. Thanks Chelsea.
I don't know why that was so funny to me. Choral Cabin Fever and Erin can do that to you, I guess. You tell me. 
The other story is another AWC story. We always said AWC is AWCsome. Haha.
It was A few weeks later during Secret Santa. I was sitting with my friend Julie. I said, "Lets mess with Sydney" I think I was a bully for messing with so much. But what do you do?
It went down like this. Note: The middle of Secret Santa Week.
Me: Hey, Sydney.
Sydney: Yeah?
M: Julie is your secret Santa.
S: No, she's not!
M: Yeah. She is.
Julie (To Sydney): Yes I am.
S: No, you're not. You already told me you were Melissa's Secret Santa! 
J: NO!
Me: WHAT?!
Thus, a great mystery solved. Dagg.

On a more serious note, Thanks for Prayers, guys. The kids seem to be doing better. Prayers are still coveted as the community deals with it's loss. It's been only 2 days, but I can see God healing. Praise!
