Drank Beer then went to Sac Meeting with a bit of a buzz.
Drink coffee everyday.
Drank beer on a few Sunday morning hikes with a fellow NOM, followed up by coffee at the local coffee shop.
Either hike or mountain bike most Sundays
If I do wear garments to work, I shred them the second I get home.
Rarely wear garments on the weekend.
Threw away my temple recommend because it expired.
Told my kids that even if they end up marrying a TBM, not to pay tithing.
LOVE Game of Thrones.
Spoke evil of The Lard's annointed.
Spicy,
I accept your confession and through your faithlessness i pronounce you clean from the sins of your generation...even speaking evil of the anointed.

I drank a beer....and I liked it.
I got laid (with her....GAWD I liked that to.)....

I'm going to hell with a smile. Someone forgive me!...please!!!!
You got laid by a lipstick wearing monkey?
I'm a monkey with glasses,...she is a monkey with lipstick.
Hey...it works.
No judgement here...
I have done a multitude of things this summer, but the thing that felt the best was to drink a beer. So many things were represented in that sin. I didn't like the beer, but the symbol was fun.
Fun thread.
Only new sins that we started this summer? I mean, I have lots of old sins. But new this summer? I will have to confess to sloth. See, we have this lovely deck overlooking Bear Lake and it is so nice to just sit and watch the lake shift color as clouds drift by, watch the hummingbirds fight over our five feeders, watch for our local deer who likes to bed down in the bushes right next to our lot, so, yeah, sloth. That and drinking iced coffee.

I think it's time we confess our summer sins so the weight of our sins will be lifted from our shoulders...
Confession: I "forget" sometimes to put my garments back on after whoopy and sleep all night long in the buff.
LOL I thought surely I'm the only one who does this. It beats digging around the bed for them and putting them on backwards in the dark. Feels so good to sleep without polycotton all over you.

I went to the Trump Rally in Phoenix
To each their own. I guess. I still like you as a human.
Even if it's something disappointing, it's still better to know the truth. Because people can deal with disappointment. And once they've done that, they can feel that they have really grown. And that can be such a good feeling. -Fred Rogers
Stopped following the church's council to be a stay at home mom.
Wore bikinis all summer.
and....
I RESIGNED!!!
It made me happy and sad, but felt like a natural/important step in this stage of our life. I kind of feel like the church forced my hand. It was a done before a move to a new home to keep life more simple AKA not wanting to re-experience the emotional trauma of setting boundaries in a new ward.

On a hot summer day I stopped at a fast food place to get ice cream for the kids and ordered my first iced tea. It was so bad I threw it out, but it was hot outside so I drank my three-year old’s water he’d backwashed in. Truly, the punishment fit the crime.
In other news, I bought attractive and totally garment unfriendly pajamas. I began taking green tea supplements to get my caffeine. I grew hops in the backyard.
I got my first hangover
I ditched an invitation to a LDS fight party, held my own party instead with libations
I abused my priesthood authority
I coveted my neighbors possessions
I stole several things (a kiss, extra samples at Costco, and home plate)
I let my kids watch tv too long on the weekends so I can sleep in.
I didn't love my lord my god with all my heart and soul ( not even close)

I didn't say I supported trump. I didn't say which side of the barricade I was on. I just said I went. It was a fascinating experience.
For the record, I was rather disturbed by many of his comments and by the crowds reactions. He appeals to lowest common denominator - tribalism.
I did notice you didn't say either way. I actually consider myself a centrist in a moderate political climate. I do have strong feelings about Trump though. I love a lot of Trump supporters in my real life and I'm just giving you a hard time. It would certainly be a sight to see!

Can you tell us what tear gas feels like?
Tear gas is proof that Satan still maintains a firm hold on the hearts of men.
I finally lowered the waist bands on my garments. (Thank you BYU-I fittings and Alterations class for teaching me such useful life skills.)
I worship with local Pagan/Wiccan groups.
I regularly speak evil of a group of men who pretend to be anointed by a god and pretend to talk to that god and then control another group of people by pretending to talk to that god.

After 30 years of farmer's tans, this summer I freed my shoulders. I wear sleeveless tops at home where it scandalizes the Mormon neighbors (smack in the Midwest and we have three other LDS families in a one block radius -- Not Fair!) and sleeveless dresses to my job on a Jesuit campus where nobody notices.
Joy is the emotional expression of the courageous Yes to one's own true being.
