At least there's a fall-back option when meeting guys at church starts quits panning out.



This is why forgetting your iPod is a tragedy.

Who needs Halloween?

"You look elfin today. Like a Lord of the Rings elf. But in a good way."

These were the words I first heard when I got to work this morning. To her credit, I guess my long, straight blonde hair, single skinny braid pinned behind my ear, and turquoise cowl necked sweater lent itself to a rather ethereal look.

Six hours later I'm realizing she might have meant I look like Orlando Bloom.

Goes to the boy who asked me this Friday night:

"Your costume is really great, but how'd you get your fangs?"

Big Apple Surprises

1. I was coming out of the subway at 110th last night with Michele just chit-chatting after dinner. Some mini-boy with earrings said "You're cute!" as I passed. It registered, I turned around and called, "Thank you!" and continued home. Holy unexpected and exciting!

2. I was at a Rite-Aid buying breakfast (a Diet Pepsi, bag of trail mix and a box of Hot Tamales) and the Sisters were standing in front of me. They were called to separate cashiers before I could say hello. The Sister closest to me paid for her purchases and handed the female cashier a pass-along card. Being in such close proximity allowed me to hear their conversation. It was fantastically cool to hear the whole thing unfold. The cashier was really excited saying "I've been wanting to get one of these!" and filled out a referral card for a future visit. I've never even seen missionaries in the city before--let alone seen such a successful contact!

3. Some woman was carrying a plastic bag with a doll in it. The surprise came from the fact that you could only see the doll's feet--and she was so nonchalant about it! I couldn't stop giggling.
