I have discovered a new love, and that is Kalahari Red Tea. Naturally Decaffeinated, Honeybush Blush Herbal tea. Happiness is getting three cups of tea (good strong tea, but not too strong) out of a good tea bag. MMM. I like it-- it kindof somehow reminds me of coffee in a tea sort of way. Substance. or texture. Would it be outlandish to drink six cups of it in one day?
On my desk in my cubicletown: Dr. Seuss : Horton Hatches the Egg
The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats* (*Holberg Memorial Library) TR: the Last Romantic (So maybe people at work will think I'm smart)(That's Teddy Roosevelt), a book by Garrison Keillor-but not shelved next to at the request of Holberg- Wordsworth's the Prelude, the Bible, and a book called "Chocolate, the Consuming Passion" by a fantastic children's book writer who writes very silly short children's books,(*even better than Wibbly pig!) but now has come out with a treatise on Chocolate.
They say I've been properly trained to work with lawyers. My Grounds job has broken me into shoveling it all day, and the nannying thing i was doing for a little while has trained me how to work with fussy, demanding, capricious humans. Funny how the Lord prepares you for things.
My grounds buddies were pretty funny: you should have heard them talk about "Lawnmower chi-- you've got to have chi, flowing in and through you and into the lawnmower... " Some people had this chi, others (the ones who didn't cut straight lines) did not.
And you really do need to have Lawnmower Chi in order to mow Covenant, because as our good friend B. Tuggy said, "It's like mowing an Escher painting."
True.
This post has been rather ecletic, as are many many of my writings. Perhaps my attention span is hungry for something that takes more than a couple of seconds to understand and laugh at. Never been good with long concepts* (*see reading comprehension scores since 4th grade). One day, I will have a thriving ministry to the dim-witted. My mom told me so. It's funny how the Lord prepares you for things...
Just make sure it's only chi that you've got flowing in and through you and into the lawnmower... I've seriously seen 2 people in the last week with the chief complaint of "finger caught in lawnmower blade while reaching for something."
It's funny how some people never learn anything no matter how much the Lord or their mothers prepare them. :)
Oh, and eProps for Wibbly Pig, even though you can't really get eProps...

Thanks for taking a few moments to bless others thru your blog. It lifted me! I hope you are well in Chattatown and that your law job is getting off to a lawful start (sorry). Hope to see you soon!

For a humorous study in contrasts, compare you cubicle literature with mine- your sounds decidedly more... well, you compare them and see what you think.

I miss you and your chocolate book - hey, do you have the Suicidal Bunnies book in your cubical?
