no crib for his head - no seat in church

Josh and I were pregnant and decided to go to walmart to buy some things; diapers, wipes, rash cream..... but not a crib! Josh didn't want me to buy a crib for our baby. I asked where the baby would sleep and he said said "right in between us," and there was no changing his mind. Then I saw my dad at walmart. Turns out he was trying to help us by buying groceries from a list I had made. To our misfortune, the list was from the week before, but I didn't have the heart to tell him so. Needless to say, we ended up with double of everything.

Josh and I also decided to try a new church. But for some reason, we were riding to church separately, and I got there before him. I went in and tried to sit with my cousin, Julie, but she was sitting with some old Razorbacks for Christ friends (who were pregnant) so I had to find another place to sit. Everywhere I looked there were NO empty seats. The seats were paired off into 2's anyway and separated by what looked like a car console, so even if there was one empty seat there was ususally an umbrella, a sweater, or a person in the other! So finally I found a pair of seats and sat down.
Well, I didn't save Josh's seat with anything, so an old man came and took it! UGH! So then I found some folding chairs and pulled them up at the back at the room and sat down after placing my purse (it was HUGE) in Josh's seat. I sent him a text to let him know the church I chose.
Across from me, there were 3 old ladies and they asked if I was Lindy O'Neal. The Lindy O'Neal associated with Josh. I was completely weirded out, but then I thought... well maybe they went to Jefferson Baptist (our former church) and remembered me from there (one said yes, she did go to Jefferson Baptist). Anyway, one lady introduced me to two others: Jeanie and Gladys- I wrote their names down on my program so I could remember, but then I didn't remember the nice lady who introduced me. I was really really thirsty (in real life too) so the nice no-name lady led me to the cafe outside and I got some water and some pastries from the pastry bar. After I sat back down, Josh showed up and I shared the water with him. Then he shared the water with some teenager next to him and that guy drank it all. Dry.
