Another late night

I don't know why, but lately, I can't bring myself to go to bed before 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. It seems weird, because I spent so long going to bed at 10:30, but I have to say that there are a lot of really good things about being up late. Most of the channels on the TV don't have much good on, but every once in a while I can find something good. On Thursday nights (or, I should say, Friday mornings), some channel shows four or five straight episodes of "Who's the Boss?" which used to be my favorite show. I love watching the innocence, back before Alyssa Milano turned into a woman of questionable morals and was just a cute little girl.

Anyway, since I am up and have an hour or two before my show starts, I thought I would fill you in on what I am up to. I got a call from the executive secretary in the ward today asking me to come meet with the bishop this Sunday morning. I know I am not supposed to tell people about my callings until I have been sustained, but I guess since it isn't official yet, I can say how excited I am that he will be calling me as the new Elders Quorum President. Like I said in my previous post, the current EQP is a nice enough guy, but obviously out of touch. I am a little susprised that they have released him so quickly, as I just emailed the bishop about it yesterday, but I respect and admire the bishop's prompt action.

Molly is feeling much better now, although that issue with Samuel had her pretty freaked out. I don't understand how a guy like him could think he deserves a girl like Molly more than I do, but I guess he has some mental issues that he needs to get taken care of, so I will try to be charitable. Samuel's objections to Molly and me kissing did make me think a lot about whether it is right, and I am more convinced than ever that the time is right. In fact, I am thinking about stepping things up a little bit; we had planned on a quick peck on the lips, but I am thinking about suggesting to her that we let it linger for three or four seconds. Molly has never kissed anyone before, so I don't want to scare her off, but I think a four-second kiss might be exactly what our relationship needs right now.

I still haven't heard from Governor Huntsman, which really upsets me. Even worse, when I went to check my email this evening to see if he had written, I had an email from someone names Richard K. Lee with the subject line, "Viagra - No prescription needed." I wouldn't be surprised if this is some stunt by Samuel to protest my decision to kiss Molly, but if so, let me just say: I don't need Viagra, because Molly and I are chaste and virtuous.

That's about it for now. I will try to do a better job posting in the future, and I will be sure to let you all know once the bishop makes my new calling official.
