Missing Home? Coming Home? Home Coming...

~~~
Just to clarify a little something before you watch the video: I have no idea who this actor/singer/random Asian celebrity is... It was just a fairly good video of this song that had well done lyrics on it. So, for all you people that might have been wondering, No, I do not have a fansite for this fella...

But I can make one if you really really need me to... (*Shudder*)

I have exactly ZERO pictures from homecoming. I was working at the Ministerial Pie table instead of snapping shots.

But, I learned a few very important things:

• Apparently ministers, college guys and men in general have no ability to handle a pie server without disaster occurring soon afterwards. (We only tried it a few times. That stopped fairly quick.)
• I learned that if I ever wanted to make a few bucks, all I'd have to do is put up an ad in the guys dorm selling my pecan pie by the piece. (They'd have eaten it all if the actual customers hadn't started coming...)
• I now know that dollar general will accept a return on a hundred and thirty foam cups, and Walmart (may it be blessed for it) takes unneeded pie pumpkins back. (Always make sure they are just the cheap gourds if you are gonna carve 'em. For five bucks each, and only because they were edible, we didn't carve and use the things. *Shudder)
• Marshmallows, oddly enough, are the pie topping and garnish of choice for some people. (I still say they made it up out of their own oddness and unnatural affinity for marshmallows.)
• Tattoos are completely acceptable. :) (As long as they are the GBS logo.)
• That one fella should have gotten out his unicycle, cause we were nearing carnival stage and that would have topped it off nicely. That and someone on stilts... (There's always next year!)
• We need bigger signs for the hot cocoa. That was some really good Cocoa.
• Someone might have paid someone to dunk someone else in the dunk tank... (That's all I'm sayin.)
• My mother's decor training is still lurking in the back of my mind somewhere; that table looked good. (If I do say so myself. And I do. But we needed a bigger tablecloth...) Sadly, we had no "long, flower-y, rope-y, drape-y thingies" but not for any real reason other than the fact that it just worked out better without them. If that is too disappointing for the ministerial majors, we can always decorate the Schmul Library with Swags and Garland. (That should go over real well.)
• Bees get somewhat sluggish and then giddy when allowed too much pie. And pie still sells with free bees added to the plate.
• There are a lot of bee murderers in this world. (I like bees. I thought about taking up banners and starting a picket or Crusade for the Bees or something...) Be very careful the next time you think about dressing your child as an adorable little honey bee...

It was a crazy busy weekend, but I had fun. I need a laptop (Ooh, I have a whole post coming up on RockyTop...) so I can jot down more of the fun stuff I learn. I forget way too much and I am not sitting here any longer while things come back to me.

Poe is calling... (Bum BUM BUM!)

These songs have really good messages.

I needed them this week.

So, I thought I'd share...
