LONG TIME!

Sorry folks, I have been a bit lazy with my posting. Lots of thing happening here--what can I say?
Memorial day is peeking out from the corner. That's right ladies, pull out your white shoes and white slacks, and go nuts until Labor day. Although, I'm beginning to think this "rule" is totally being fazed out.
I was sitting on my morning T ride, and felt a glance from this woman. She didn't say much to me, nor made an eye contact with me, but I felt it. She was judging me.
Today entry's is interesting, because I want to talk about the common saying of "don't judge a book by its cover"

I don't know about all the saints out there, but I SO JUDGE THE BOOK BY ITS COVER.

Irony is, I was holding this book, by the way--I have to mention that the book is written by my best friend's mother. I must say, the cover is "cute" and it reeks of "chick-lit". I haven't read it yet to have an opinion on it, but since I know the writer (eh hem!), I'm pretty sure it's witty and intelligent. HOWEVER--this woman sitting across from me judged my book by its cover. She didn't stop there. She looked at me up and down and had this judgmental look on her face. I was sooooo offended by her. I mean, she rolled her eyes at me, because I was wearing make up and a scarf AND I was holding a pink book.

Mind you, the woman was wearing corduroy pants and green fleece. Crunchy she was--you know the type.

A hah-- I'm judging her by the cover, you are telling me. Sure I am! Like I said I'm no saint. I read somewhere that people look at appearances, and God looks at your inside.

I just wanted to talk about how I tend to get offended about people's wrong perception of me. Lately I'm realizing that I may need to think about how I allowed myself to BE PERCEIVED. I don't know about you, but I live in the world where people see my outer presence WAY before they get to know me. RIGHT????
