I'm just going to take it out as soon as you leave... but not right now, while you're still watching. That would be too unprofessional. LOL.

My small town isn't so small, but it looks and feels and acts just as you described! When I go to Starbuck's I feel like I walked into a Sesame Street Skit "People in Your Neighborhood" because I know the cop, the hairdresser, the teacher, the plumber, the mayor, and the interior decorator.

Around homecoming time, the homecoming court would have their pics in the paper too. How's that for small town?! I totally LOL'd at the comment from the utility lady.

Oh...how I lived for that section during college! It always amazed me how many people reported their scriptures as stolen....really? you think someone stole your fake leather triple with your name engraved on the front? Once I inadvertedly got locked inside the outdoor track, climbed the fence, got my shorts caught on the fence, and a byu cop had to come and save me. He took my name for his "report." I waited nervously for the paper to see if I had made the big time...but alas, I did not. Thanks for reminding me of the Police Beat. Oh…how I lived for that section during college!

Heck, I'm still trying to figure out how you scored getting paid to blog at Parenting. You are my hero,, and if I could figure out how to make somebody pay me for spewing out my parenting wisdom, I'd be pretty psyched. Plus, my MIL couldn't then condemn blogging as an utter and complete waste of time. Schemeing to get a job writing for the paper?

That is why I am an L.A. girl and always will be! (BTW, I have been in the paper five times in my life, and my daughter got in for the first time at the age of 15 months. I guess you just have to be able to spot the reporters and give them a winning smile?) So you could technically just walk up and hand her the check? :o
