For instance, I was sitting in an Arby's by myself during lunch hour one time. I was reading a book and eating at the same time, so I would look occupied and wouldn't feel lame that I was eating alone. The people at the next table start talking about their affair. Just out in the open, like it was no big deal. She was asking him if he felt guilty and that she wouldn't take it back for a minute, because it was worth it. I was pretty shocked, but I just pretended to be reading my book and I was really trying not to eavesdrop. It didn't seem like they cared at all. Wierd...
My new role in life is the female version on Bob Villa. And Philip's new role is Norm. "This old house" has a lot of work to be done before it can really be lived in. And you know what? Philip actually lives there. We went to Home Depot two times on Saturday. Because we don't really know what we're doing. We bought a very good book though and we're learning. We have about 6 months to make it comfortable and we also have about 6 months to finalize all the wedding plans. See I am busy...
Exciting times! Happy Chinese New Year! My year of the Tiger horoscope was pretty good. Said I'll be busy and I'll find happiness this year. They always say that.
To lighten the spirit of Martin Luther King day, I'll post this little e-mail I recieved:
Something to think about on MLK weekend A black man talks to a white man:
When I was born I was black, When I grew up I was black, When I'm sick I'm black, When I go in the sun I'm black, When I'm cold I'm black, When I die I'll be black. But you: When you're born you're pink, When you grow up you're white, When you're sick, you're green, When you go in the sun you turn red, When you're cold you turn blue, and when you die you turn purple. And you have the nerve to call me colored.
