What Goes Around

Micah got a haircut today.  We (I) found a picture of a long haired Tom Cruise that looked pretty good and Micah agreed to it.  We went to a little shop owned by some Vietnamese ladies and they looked at the picture.  He probably has the cleanest hair ever now since I paid extra for them shampooing it.  He liked it at first but now is wearing a hat and saying he looks like a mushroom.  I just hope he gets use to it.

Today was my first ever mammogram.  It wasn't bad at all.  Didn't feel like two books being smashed against me.  Just pressure.  But my doctor experience wasn't all that good.  I have a bladder infection (I tend to get them a lot).  One symptom of a bladder infection is that I have to go to the bathroom a lot.  And I tend to hold it as long as I can.  So instead of going to the bathroom before I left for the doctor, I held it and decided to go when I got there.  No problem usually.  But this time, the minute I walked into the bathroom the urge overtook me and I started to notice a little leakage.  I know this is shocking that I am telling the whole world this, but I wet my pants (a bit).  I couldn't get my pants down fast enough so I ended up having to take off my undergarment and putting it my purse.  Then I had to pat dry my pants in spots.  Luckily it wasn't all wet right in the middle.  It tended to go down ...

I have always had really good fingernails.  They grow fast and strong.  The other day I was looking through a magazine that is on the coffee table here and came across an article on new fingernail designs and decided to try it out.  Here is what it is suppose to look like. And here is what mine turned out like.

Today we were able to visit Children of the Night in California.  They help children out of prostitution all across America.  We toured their home and even talked to some of the girls, who were all sweet.  What a great program they have for the children.  Looks like great schooling options during the day.  Then they have activities and different sessions later in the day.  And they are able to go on field trips each week to places like the beach, water parks, or other fabulous outings. What a wonderful program!  I am amazed at how much they can offer to the children.  http://www.childrenofthenight.org/

This morning I had an english muffin.  I suppose that is something that people can make at home, but I certainly will never do that.  So I only get them in America.  And I don't think I have ever actually bought them for myself, so I only get them at other peoples' homes. Nothing to do with bread, but........I  just came back from the gas station down the street to get a drink.  I chose to go with the medium.  Small is just too small.  And the large was gluttonous.  So the 32oz. was the medium choice.  I'm still pretty amazed at the sizes here. A few days ago I was reading in the book of John that Jesus is the bread of Life.  I know this shouldn't be a new thought to me, but it struck me as if I had never thought of it before.  I was reminded of the manna that the Isrealites were fed.  Each day they gathered manna and were satisfied.  Extra for the Sabbath.  So I was struck by the thought to each day eat of Jesus...

I had this problem a few years ago when we visited America too.  I see too many fat people.  We are in Southern California.  Arrived yesterday.  Usually the people here don't seem fat to me.  I always have pictured people here to be athletic and thin.  You know, the kind who wear bikinis and actually look good. Well this time it is different.  Everywhere I look I see fat people.  We were at a mexican restaurant yesterday and there was a buffet lunch (I didn't choose buffet).  The other customers just seemed big to me.  Maybe it is that I am use to the Indian build, thin shoulders, small bodies.  Then today we were out again and the people at Old Navy were all this weird apple shape.  The legs were fine but the bellies were so big. I realize it is rude to talk about people this way.  It isn't that I think I am better than anyone else because I am thinner then them.  I don't think I am thin myself, just thinner then ...

Waiting is a part of life.  And part of it is part of my last name.  So in a way, part of me is part of life.  Or, I am life.  Something like that. Anyway, I am waiting now for The Office episode to download so I can watch it.  Our internet has been so slow lately and sometimes just stops working altogether, so I am learning to multitask.  While I watch The Office, I also write blogs, paint my toenails, take a nap, or clean the house.  And sometimes I watch half an episode and the internet goes off and I have to start all over again. Steve isn't as patient as I am.  He watched the first 5 minutes (which took about half an hour) and then decided to go watch a movie on the other computer.  Not me though.  I wait.  It is just part of who I am.
