Hi, Michele!
I was so very sorry to read that your grandmother passed away. But, like you said, she’s in a far better place now and she’s perfectly healthy! I’ll still keep you all in my prayers.
Here, my class is back in session, and I am so lazy! I hope I will overcome it. Part of the time, I grudgingly think, "Here I am in this class AGAIN. Will I ever get on with my life?" I did three HW probs this weekend - that leaves me with two long and tedious ones to do before Wednesday.
Yep, that was a pic of Ray. I didn’t think he was good looking when he first started asking me out, but I later started thinking that he was very handsome. (The pictures that I have of him aren’t that great…) As I’ve probably said before, "It’s a shame when that’s the only good thing you can say about a person." I’ll try to scan that pic of Darrell. I agree with you: why couldn’t Darrell be the single guy that wanted me? He was a good Christian man. I believe it is true: All the good ones are gone! I guess the last time I saw Darrell was in October of last year, shortly after he stopped working with us. :*(
Along those lines, I woke up from the best dream Sunday morning. I was standing in front of some handsome/sexy guy who must’ve been sitting. I don’t remember the situation exactly, but I was feeling very attractive and sexy. The guy was apparently overcome by the wonder that is me (lol) and grabbed me and kissed me passionately. It was such a good-feeling dream - do you know what I mean? It felt so right! When I woke up, I thought first thing, "THAT is how I’m going to feel about my future husband."
Sara’s doing pretty good, I guess. I’m trying to be very careful about what I say to her. I know I wouldn’t want someone beating on me with "you should . . . " or whatever if I was in that case. Sometimes, people just need for others to listen.
We are of the same mind about obnoxious customers. If someone acts like that Snobby Invitation lady, I am determined not to kiss their butt. At *****, if I was in a playful/obnoxious mood myself, I might deliberately try to egg on such a customer. I wonder if that could be why I didn’t do so well in tips . . . I couldn’t help it - their dollar wasn’t worth my dignity! Like you said, when they’re nice you want to help. When they’re acting like they have some sort of royalty complex, you just want to tell them off one good time and never see them again.
***********************************************************
tv show- Bosom Buddies
movie- 9 to 5 (liked She’s Out Of Control - I was going to put that as my recommendation last time!)
song- Modern Woman by Billy Joel
cd- umm…?
funny moment- From Frasier, I forget which episode, but a side plot was that Frasier learned there were video cameras in his apartment building’s elevator and they had spied him unzip his pants to tuck his shirt in. In one part of the ep, he gets into the elevator. He needs to tuck in his shirt, so he opens his umbrella to try to outsmart and block the camera. He has trouble holding the umbrella and tucking his shirt in at the same time. In the midst of this scene, Daphne steps calmly onto the elevator. She looks at the surveillance camera and explains, "He’s been under a lot of stress lately."

questions answered
are you a person who cries in front of everyone or are you more of a "private crier?"- I’m also more of a private crier. Even after Dad died, I didn’t cry once around Mom or Sara, and they didn’t cry around me.
do you and Sara do a lot of things together- we go to the store sometimes; we don’t often go to the movies, fairs, carnivals, etc.
do you "doodle"?- oh yes! (I have to do something while my professor is talking!)
do you consider yourself a "people person"?- not really!
**********************************************************
NEW QUESTIONS
How do you like your toast? Litely toasted with butter or jam or apple butter.
Do you have a dream car? Not really - I just want something that runs.
Do you ever have days where you feel like you can’t hardly think? Oh yes - I’ve been having them lately for several days. (I think they’re contributing to or maybe because of this severe case of the lazies.)
Have you ever tried to be sexy? What was the outcome? At ***** one time a great song came on and I was sashaying down the line in the kitchen; in my mind I was the epitome of sexy/cool, like a model breezing down the catwalk. Then I turned around to find my gay friend Greg about to hurt himself laughing so hard.

It’s no problem if you can’t write back for a few days; I really do understand!
Talk to you later. God bless!
Anne
