So I have a really random story to share today about something that I noticed on the metro today and I think in general I would not see in other places. So I was on my way home on the metro from union station today and I was riding right next to an obviously homeless woman. She had uncombed, unwashed hair. Her nails were very dirt. She smelled of liquor. She was wearing several shirts and had plastic bags with her. But here was the thing that struck me...she was reading the paper. Not only that but she was reading the washington post from today. Not only that, and I double checked this, she was reading the business section. HA! Too Awesome.
Oh and on a even more totally random note...Have you guys seen those cingular commercials where the calls get droppped and the conversation gets completely ruined? The one where the guy calls and thinks she doesn't like him and so he says, you like we had a brother sister connection. Well, this new one where the lady calls her husband to tell him they are pregnant and they drop the call KILLS ME. Those commercials are so painful for me. I can barely watch them. And this new one is by far the worst. Seriously? Uuuhhhgggg. Can I get an AMEN?!

Today's letter: K
Good evening (when I'm writing this) Good morning, good afternoon or good night when you might be reading this...
Anyway today was a particularly interesting day at Ebs due to the fact that at around 9am this morning our expresso machine decided to stop pulling shots and left about 20 people waiting in line for drinks we couldn't make. Then at around 11am our computer crashed and for the next 30 mins or so we were doing it old school. That's right kids. We were writing all orders by hand, doing subtraction for change in our heads, and using our memories and best estimations for tax. But I think some of the most funnest things I saw today were actually both shirts. By the way I want both these shirts. I looked for them online but no luck. One shirt was bright red and it said RED on it. The obvious really works well for me. I laugh. I laugh now. Okay I'm done. The other I saw was just a regular looking shirt that said K is for Karate. That's right both shirts that I liked today were shirts apparently from Sesame Street. And just for our enjoyment I was looking for these other two shirts and found this one. Now don't fight over who gets to buy it for me. There are lots and lots of shirts you can all buy them for me.
And if you don't get this reference...well, I'm sorry...we can't be friends any more.

TOTALLY SPEEDY WOMAN
So I have a totally random story to share this afternoon with everyone. I probably feel the need to share because this is so amazing and I did it and I don't believe it.
So this morning I needed to be at work, meaning in DC at Union Station at 7:30am. My alarm was set for 6am. The very first time I was even aware that it sort of resembled morning was at exactly 6:47am. Over the next couple of minutes I got up, used the bathroom, got dressed, pulled my hair back, went from my room to the basement (that's 3 stories), pulled clothes out of the dryer (cause I needed the jeans that were in there), got in my car, drove 2 1/2 miles to East Falls Church metro stop, parked my car, went into the metro and stood on the platform. What's so amazing about that? The first time I looked at my watch this morning was 6:47am and when I looked at my watch again on the platform waiting for the metro is was only 6:56am. I kid you not. I did all that in under 10mins. I even checked my cell phone wondering if my watch had died or something. Amazing Totally Speedy Woman will be my superhero name I think. ATSW for short.

This is an actual AP story
Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws in Los Angeles and, while there, went to a nearby superma rket to pick up some groceries.
Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head.
One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.
The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head.
When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.
A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head.
When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the ! dough and thought it was her brains.
She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid.

PAINT!
Such a great weekend. We all went out on mother's day and painted a single mother's house in DC. Tons of fun and tons of paint.
Jo in all her gracefulness actually tripped while painting, covering herself in paint from head to toe...literally.

Update
So for those of you who don't know, I recently picked up a second job. For now it is a part time job added onto my regular full time job and the combination of the two is totally wearing me out. But the great thing about this new job is that they are great about giving me off when I have other responsibilities for my full time job. However, this week is filled full of Chi Alpha duties and so as a response I only ended up on the schedule for only 4 hours and I am now trying to get out of it because amazingly enough I have double booked. HA! Here's hoping I can get out of my shift and not have to change my other plans around.
Also this week I am in Hagerstown MD at our district council for the potomac district. It's basically meetings after meetings and services after services that's packed ful of pastors. Really an interesting experience. More later.
