I love the service projects we are given in my MCOM class. I hope when my husband starts teaching at a University that he will incorporate some service assignments into his classes.
For this assignment our professor chose the most stressful weekend for us and asked us to find someone more stressed then we are and do something for them. There is a couple that used to be in our ward, they have a baby and the mom is leaving town for a little bit and the dad still needs to go to work. They were looking for a sitter for this week.
My husband and I have a busy week next week (lots of papers and projects) but I am really looking forward to helping them by watching their son. So, I wont have performed my act of service over the weekend, but I signed up for it and am excited to see how it goes.

Beauty and the Beast Biker Shorts
I was with my family over Thanksgiving and as we were sitting in my grandma's living room, someone lifted a family photo off of the coffee table. It was a photo of all of grandma's grandchildren (my cousins) taken over 15 years ago.
The first thing everyone noticed was how much the fashions have changed. We laughed at the huge bangs, the slick hair, and the big glasses. Then my girl cousins and I reminisced about our horrific outfit choices during that era.
We started talking about the scary looking bangs in the picture. My mom would start my bangs further and further back with every haircut. Eventually my bangs started in the middle of my head and were very thick - yikes!
The other fashion faux-pa I remember from my childhood was the biker shorts and stretch pants. The stretch pants I would wear were black and had a strap on the bottom of the legs so that you could hook them under your foot. These would inevitably be paired with a large Christmas sweater.
I also mentioned biker shorts. I believe my favorite outfit in elementary school was a Beauty and the Beast outfit. The shorts were purple biker shorts with little pictures of characters from the movie all over it. The top was also purple (a color I despise now) it had a large picture of bell on the front. I wore the outfit often and might have worn it everyday if my mother had let me. A purple biker-shorts outfit, and bangs that started in the middle of my head; thank goodness we all grow up.
