I admit that I would like to know WTH is wrong with the quote feature that it is sticking signature blocks inside the quotes??? I admit that I am happy to report that my Things' former sitter was not calling because of bad news (which has sometimes been the case during times of unrest overseas) but rather, to invite Thing 2 and me to her youngest sister's birthday party. It is for "women only" and will be a traditional (customs, foods, etc.) party of a girl her age. I admit that there are at least 80 women and girls expected to attend already. It is, traditional, as I said, and she asked me to "feel free to wear [my] party clothes." I admit that "party clothes" means my sari and all of my bling. I informed her I don't think I can fit into any of them anymore. She laughed. I admit that I am always the "token white chick" at these parties (Sri Lankan, Indian, Afghani, Jordanian, Pakistani), and it makes my heart ticklish. I have often wondered if the women from these far-off countries realize that I am about as pasty white as they come. I admit that several of the ladies have told me that they feel that I am "one of them." That gives me a huge happy. I admit that I hope her auntie who is a professional belly dancer will be there! She is awesome!!! (now to break it to Thing 2 that she will have to wear something than her big brother's hand-me-downs)
