Time to replace the filter

So, you may have already heard I recently embarrassed myself by disclosing thoughts that should have remained safely tucked away in my brain. See: http://sarahupchurch.blogspot.com/2008/08/which-one-kt.html

Anyway, despite Sarah's ominous warning at work earlier today, here are the events that followed the opening of her post:

1. Me turning bright red.

2. John's response: "I can't believe you said that. Did you forget to turn your filter on while you were talking to her?"

3. Me attempting to defend myself.

4. John telling me that there is no redeeming myself & guilting me about embarrassing Sarah's husband.

5. Me retaliating with this: John once said, "I think Sarah's husband is cool looking."

So, I don't know why I associate Jeremy with an elf - I really did mean it as a compliment, but when I tried to explain to Sarah it just sounded like I was being too complimentary in a creepy stalker kind of way. So, I'm pretty sure there's not a way to dig myself out of this one. All I can say is this:

I'm sorry Jeremy. To borrow my husband's words, I think you're cool looking too, but in my mind, for some reason cool looking = elfish (as seen below).

Sarah said...: BAH! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! SOOOOOO not offended! If I had really been offended I wouldn't have made a post about it! I think he's kind of a cross between number 1 and number 3 when he's mad.

AND...he's not embarrassed or offended either. He thought it was really, really funny that that's the comparison you have thought of for him. I asked his permission before I made a post about his Elfish good looks.

Don't replace the filter...I like this kind of stuff!; August 22, 2008 at 12:05 AM
Jeremy said...: On a scale of one to ten - how awkward will it be when we all see each other at the school Christmas party? I vote "twelve."

Also, someone once told me that my dad looked like Mr. Spock. Maybe we Upchurch men were born to have points on our ears?; August 22, 2008 at 12:05 AM
Megan said...: Ha! That is so funny! I can see the look on your face in my head! ;o) I like KT minus filter!!!; August 22, 2008 at 9:03 PM
Katie said...: Wow, double Upchurch comments, so this is what it takes...I think the rating of a 12 is an appropriate guesstimate, although I still think nothing can out awkward last year's party. I'm pretty sure all I said was, "So you're a drummer..."

Oh, and Megan - this is what happens when you're not around to hold me back - I blame you! ;); August 22, 2008 at 11:52 PM
Dori said...: KT!!!! Oh how I love filtertless KT. If only Sarah knew that we compare my husband to an elf in the tiny Keebler way...

Verses from Philippians

1:21: For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
2:1-11: If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:14-15: Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.
3:7-8: But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
3:12-14:Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
