one of the ladies i work with just walked down the hallway,looked at me and said,"you look cross-eyed."
now, if i was a Christian non-fiction writer i would tell you how the phrase "cross-eyed" really got me thinking about what it means to always have the cross of Christ as my focus in everything i do. and how from that point on i determined to always keep the love of Christ in my heart and His sacrifice always in my focus...or if you will... keep myself cross-eyed.
but, not being a Christian non-fiction writer, i was unable to find the depth and beauty in what she said.
what kind of woman tells someone else they are cross-eyed?
my guess is that she was commentating on the fact my eyes looked tired from staring at the computer all day. i'll just pretend that is what she meant.
this is a funny little office.

Mark & I went to my parents' house for Thanksgiving - and I woke up, the day after driving 6 hours to get there (it should take 3.5), showered, went upstairs to the kitchen, and my mother pronounced, "Katie's tired. She looks Chinese."
Thanks, Mom.
(not sure how a Christian non-fiction writer would make that spiritually uplifting... any ideas?)
It's okay Suzanne. I recently discovered that I have a lisp, and no one's told me about it for 26 years (it really only shows up when I sing, apparently).
oh my gosh...i have a lisp too! although everyone reading this who has heard me talk already knows this. it becomes more distinct when i speak publically. i've never noticed your lisp...if that makes you feel any better. but i sure am going to listen for it now. misery loves company.
you always make me laugh... and I have a lisp too, but it only shows up when I am speaking spanish. Not sure why it only works en espanol and not en ingles, but whatever...
Suzanne- I'm sorry I never told you you were cross-eyed. Please don't ever become a Christian non-fiction (or fiction for that matter) writer, though it seems you have it down pretty well.
Um...okay...who just randomly tells a co-worker that they look cross-eyed? Nice.
Although I once told a co-worker, who was wearing a lovely orange dress on casual Friday, that she was "the sunshine in all of our jeans." Sigh...
