the story of the ward bulletin

This week I was emailed questions to respond to so I could be spotlit in the church monthly bulletin. Sunday, when the bulletin was passed out, I saw my picture and below it read :

MEET JANNA!!
1) Best thing you did this summer? Spent time with a special man in my life.
2)Favorite thing about back-to-school time? Pajama Parties and good friends!
3)Favorite comfort food? Meatloaf
4)Something that scares you? Being alone for the rest of my life.
5) A secret talent? being able to put clothes together to make the Perfect Outfit!
6)Favorite movie from your childhood? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
7) Cray career aspiration? Owning a second hand clothing store or Traveling and finding antiques for restaurants
8) Best thing about your family? They are very loving and supportive
9) Worst thing about your family? Not getting along half the time.
10) Favorite place you've ever been? NEW ORLEANS!!!!!

While some of these answers are great, and some of them not even far off, they were not in fact my answers. I had completely forgotten to respond to that email. I had only skimmed it, so I thought perhaps there was a threat of publishing made up answers if I hadn't responded. Or perhaps, someone had played a great joke on me by getting on my email and answering for me. Yet when I asked the bulletin writer they said they had gotten a response from me. Hmmm, curious I thought.

So finally tonight the mystery was solved. One Janna Gammon, with a similar email as mine, was contacted by accident responded promptly no questions asked. Now, I dont know why someone would answer personal questions from a stranger in an email, but I thank her. Janna Gammon, I am glad you answered those questions, and I'm glad people think I love meatloaf, pajama parties and a had special summer fling.

2. pajama parties???? sleepovers, sure, but pajama parties?
3. meatloaf...no one's favorite food is meatloaf.
4. being alone (no one says that to your entire ward)
5. the perfect outfit. shut up girl.
