The Asian M2

If M2 were Asian, I saw her today at Parkland. Same stooped shoulders, same peppery short hair, same rather sparce bushy eyebrows, same super lean/too much skin build. The only difference, Asian M2 doesnt wear glasses and isn't ashamed to show her legs! I can't remember the last time I saw the real M2's legs. Asian M2 is slightly more functional, the real M2 would never venture into Parkland on her own with a smile on her face. I can only imagine the racist remarks that she would be uttering in a place like Parkland. I'm sure the Asian M2 isn't racist but I do wonder if she share's the real M2's love for words. I'll have to ask her for help on a crossword next time I bump into her in the hall to find out...

In unrelated news, I have multiple funny stories regarding my week at work. But none of them involve the 3-round Puke Distaster of this afternoon.

The Luck of No. 4

So, most of yall know I went to take my big RD exam on Monday. I've been studying 4 a while but really started to have a breakdown around Sat/Sunday. I was so overwhelmed with all the information I was accountable 4. I started thinking that maybe I should postpone my test 4 a few more days to get more studying in. But in the end, I just wanted to get the darn thing over with. I should have had some clue from the very beginning when I called to make the appointment to take the test, and my confirmation number had 3 4's in it.
At the testing facility I locked my purse in locker #4, just 4 safe keeping. Then the testing lady assigned me to computer # (you guessed it) 4. At this point I thought I had it in the bag. Then a mental argument broke out where one part of me was saying that I must be crazy to think the number 4 has anything to do with my ability to pass this test. And the other part of me kept saying it's got to be a great sign that all these 4's were coming together. I guess it was a trifecta of 4's. How can that be denied?
But all joking aside, I really know that it's by the grace of God that I passed this test. I did study and prepared the best I knew how, but I know that He gave me the peace and clarity of mind to make good, educated guesses on questions I had no clue about. So, PTL!!! (praise the Lord, as Mrs. Walker would say, or "crazy lady walk-walk" as Kryssi Theadford so lovingly called her)

MUST READ

I am interrupting the day at work to blog. True, I have several things to do, but I finished the book last night and it was so delightful. Let's all read it for Miller Family Book Club.

There are 2 parallel stories told- one from a poor sharecropper in Louisianna and one from a wealthy Dallas art dealer. The stories intermingle. I cried many times. It's well-written, a fast read, and a compelling story that speaks a lot of truth about humanity.

I like reading, people... but this was absolutely the best book of 08 for me. Run! Go to the library! Go!
