arrrgh. I really want to scream at my ceiling. My neighbors sound like they are rearranging furniture and bowling while wearing wooden clogs.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Heh.
Oh -- the funniest thing happened to me out to lunch today. At the end of our meal, the waitress says to me, "You know, I think I'm going to start doing that -- putting a napkin in my lap like that. It looks so ladylike!" Um, OK. Then when she comes back with the check or whatever, she tells us about how she's recently come to Jesus, and she's sure that Jesus wants her to be more ladylike, and this napkin thing must be part of that! Jesus spoke to her through me and my napkin!

I often confused about how many things Jesus is interested in.

The best part is that it really was just the two or three sentences, so it never got weird, and was actually kind of charming.

Our wings are not tired.
Heh, well you didn't need to give her a tip since you helped her please Jesus and all.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, I did that cursor thing and now I totally feel guilty because of the way the old guy in the back stops to catch his breath when you hold still for a moment.
I put my napkin in my lap, but this is because I am messy and often spill things. (eta: I don't know how Jesus feels about this. It has never come up in our conversations.)

What is even happening?
sarameg, do you have newpapers in your recycle bin? They're an excellent substitute for the paper towel in window cleaning. Spray your cleaner. Take a manageble sized piece of newspaper, clean off all the grime. Take a new piece, and dry the window from top to bottom.

"You know, I think I'm going to start doing that -- putting a napkin in my lap like that. It looks so ladylike!"
That's oddly adorable. So... was it the way you had your napkin in your lap, or the fact that you had a napkin in your lap that she was talking about? I am now curious about whether I've been doing it right all these years.
