It didn't suck.
I sat with a friend I hadn't seen in a decade and we just giggled through the entire thing.
The people that I spoke with seemed geninely happy to see me. I wore jeans, sneakers (nice ones) and a casual shirt. I wore earrings as per usual. I didn't bother shaving (my god, on a sunday, I'm usually reading this board at 9 a.m. and still in my jamjams).
The body of jesus was whole wheat and it didn't smell all that fresh when it passed under my nose, but the funeral dirge didn't depress me this time.
I could barely hear the first speaker over the cacophony. Kids crying, fussing, being "shushed" etc. Fine by me.
The second speaker was dry, but what else was I expecting?
At one point I leaned to my friend and said "as God as my witness, I've heard this speech before and I mean verbatim, word for word." She replied "he's quoting scripture!" LMAO!
Two people came up to me immediately after the so-called "sacrament meeting" and asked if I was staying for the rest of the meetings. I looked both in the eye and said (and I quote) "oh, hell no! I didn't do all three hours when I was a mormon!". Right there in the chapel, just a cussin up a storm. I dropped "god", "damn", "hell" & "sh!t" bombs. I have a filthy mouth on a good day. I decided I'm not going to change anything now. If they don't like me, they are free to talk to somebody else.
Here was a fun note: I saw an old friend there and somehow we started talking about mormonism. Within a couple of seconds we realized that we were both exmos! We had a fun chat. She said she has come to this board and others as well. It was really fun to connect on a new level.
There were a lot of people that I have no need for. A couple that made my skin crawl off. No biggie though.
After the meeting was over I sprinted to get a coffee.
The luncheon was where I was bored to death. Tons of people I have nothing in common with making small talk - and me without a xanax. I put up with it for 3 hours and then went out for a bootie call. I came back to help clean up a couple of hours later.
You know, if a typical sunday was like it was today, I might not have hated it as much as I used to. No headache today!
