DAY THREE

THE BEGINNING OF THE PENGUIN SUIT

A few months after we were married we were in the Halloween store and made one of the most important purchases of our lives. The Penguin Suit. Everyone knows about the penguin suit. What everyone DOESN'T know is who actually was the first person to wear it in public.

Mitchell dared me to walk to the mailbox and check the mail in it. He said I could go to PacSun and buy a new outfit if I did. It was the most humiliating experience of my life. I have NEVER been that embarrassed! I walked back into the house IN TEARS!

My FaVoRiTe QuOtEs

"Think about your particular assignment at this time in your life. It may be to get an education, it may be to rear children in righteousness, it may be to be a grandparent, it may be to care for and relieve the suffering of someone you love, it may be to do a job in the most excellent way possible, it may be to support someone who has a difficult assignment of their own. Our assignments are varied, and they change from time to time. Don't take them lightly. Give them your full heart and energy, Do them with enthusiasm. Do whatever you have to do this week with your whole heart and soul. To do less than this will leave you with an empty feeling."

To people who don't know how to use four-way stops: "People like that make me wanna gouge out their eyeballs, starve them for a couple of days, fry their eyeballs and serve them to them and say, 'congratulations, you just ate your own eyeballs!"
