Secondly, while walking down the street the other day I got called out to. Which is not at all surprising here, the surprising thing was instead of hearing "Yo! WhiTIE!" I heard "Yo! BrowNIE!" Wait...what? Really? I got called brownie?? I looked around...yep, I was the only lighter skinned person in the area. Usually, to be called whitie, or even to be yelled at by people that don't know me at all irritates me a little but it comes with being a fair skinned person living here. Although that irritation was still there, and I considered "brownie" still to be a stretch for me...I did walk with my head a little higher. I have a TAN....apparently! I really don't think I am brown enough to constitute "brownie" but here is the documented evidence that I AM darker than when I arrived. Okay...maybe the picture doesn't show it that much. Compare forearm to leg.
Thirdly, my family sent me the most amazing care package I have ever seen. Imagine Christmas and birthday combined, with a touch of the resurrection thrown in...maybe, maybe you can understand how awesome this care package was. They put so much thought into it that I got pretty much all of my favorite things...just like the song in Sound Of Music. Here are Rose and I enjoying the dried Italian Salami they sent with cream cheese and crackers.
And FINALLY I have developed a sense of humor about the food I eat and THIS was actually really really good!
