psalm_onethirtyoneExcitingly enough, we were robbed last night.
At church to-day, Shirley took one look at me and started pulling at my shirt and saying, "Oh, you need to cover up your bra straps!". She kept poking my shirt and trying to make it modest. It's a soft white tank top that goes under a much prettier crinkly white long-sleeved blouse that's meant to be worn open. Maybe I shouldn't wear it any more! This is the second time someone's commented that it's revealing.
(the first time, it was one of the librarians. There was a boy who had removed his shirt in the library, and I went back to let her know, and I said, "There's a boy who isn't wearing a shirt--". She said, "Neither are you," and looked at me pointedly. As I said! I should probably stick to wearing it at home, seeing as it elicits such a response.)
In any case, they took the CD players out of the cars, Mama's digital camera, and my car keys; as far as we can tell, nothing else. I remain glad we're moving--I assume the Mennonite neighbours won't do this.
At church to-day, Rog gave me a colouring book of anatomy, a college-level colouring book! XD I love it. I need to write him a very pretty thank-you note. Eheehee.
(This song in my subject line, I need to upload it; it always makes me cry. It's very--meaningful. To me. Amy gave it to me; Amy has this way of knowing what will touch me.)

Plus I'm the kind of person who usually wears ankle-length skirts and long shirts anyway--although maybe that's the problem, that people perceive me as being more "modest" and are surprised when they see me dressed normally? Maybe I'm overthinking this. XD
Are you a librarian at a school?

I work in the "Reading Lab," which is where they send all the 3rd-6th graders whose reading skills are not up to par. Which is most of them, since the majority of kids in this area grew up speaking Spanish. It's fun, though. We read stories about sharks and spiders and dinosaurs. :D
