Take Three

Back to the grind.

Yesterday was the last day of our fast. It feels weird seeing a box of chocolate, knowing I have the capability of eating it, but not really wanting to! I had two truffles last night and I'm still kind of full. Like, I don't really want to eat any right now because I kind of think that's a little gross. Who am I?

Tomorrow at the bookstore I recently started working at I get to read books out loud to children! It's Dr. Suess' birthday! I'm going to try and find a little costume I can cobble together! My fallback would be my safari hat with the premise that, "when you read you go on an adventure." Why do you think safari hats signify adventure. Why not a baseball hat. Me sitting inside a baseball stadium surrounded by baseball fans is an adventure. Especially if one of them is there with me due to obligation and he knows a lot about baseball so I incessantly ask him questions trying to learn about the game. Then it's an adventure for everyone around us too!

Okay. I know what I need. Striped leggings. Who knew stripes were Suess-y. I'm going to pair them with my black dress with weird tufts that look like truffala trees. It's not really a specific character, more just really wacky. Which I think of when I think Dr. Suess, you know?

If Esther's reading this... I'm finally getting around to reading The Hiding Place! It's really good, but she keeps hinting at the tragedy that's about to unfold. She'll be describing her sister's house and then all of a sudden it's "if only I knew the darkness that would fill the house as I stood outside of it filed with fear." Or something like that. Then she'll go right onto discussing her favorite nephew like nothing happened.

Tonight's our house's birthday for the Han's/break the fast party so I'll let you know how that goes.
