Thai food with Laurie...
Last night Laurie and I went to dinner at a local Thai restaurant nearby. It was good food! I was telling her in detail about the struggles I was having with the Executive Summary and the headaches I've developed because of it. Man has it been tough. I'm starting to feel like I'm never going to get it done. Two pictures I took as we waited outside to be seated:
Later on the conversation moved to what we were going to get for people for Christmas. Laurie was thinking about playing a joke on her sister and putting a half-empty perfume bottle into her stocking this year, as apparently Cindy's mother-in-law has a history of giving her perfume that she's already used. I was in such shock at the mere thought that I couldn't complete my sentence. I ended up saying, "WHAT?! Are you seri... She... I can't bel... Laurie, is Cindy's mother-in-law Chinese?" And that put us both into HYSTERICS.

On Jun and self-reflection...
I had a good laugh this morning at an email Jun wrote me. I've been having this ongoing debate with him about ETHICS (that's all we ever talk about), specifically whether or not to tell an innocent wife that her husband is cheating on her. I've been cheated on before and was thankful to receive that phone call from the "other woman" who felt compelled to let me know, and now I'm stuck with the burden of whether or not I should make the same call as I am now that "other woman", although I didn't find out until after the fact.
If I were her, I would want to know. But who am I to get involved. Yet if I DON'T say anything, then I am an accomplice to the crime. I would be as responsible for allowing him to continue to hurt people, yet if I do, I may disrupt a lifestyle that she has chosen to be in. Most women know if their husbands are cheating on them. They just choose to deny it. And for all I know, they both may be victims of circumstance, in a marriage that was doomed from the start. A portrait of self-reflection while I rant (lol):
I've been going back and forth about this issue with Jun for a week now, but no matter my deliberation he always comes back with a well-thought out answer as to why I should leave it as is. It really brings out all that I wrote about him in his profile, so yesterday I asked if he wouldn't mind if I posted our conversation on my journal. Here's what was said in the a.m.:
Me: "Who knows Jun. Your future wife may find you through my site!"
Jun: "I doubt that this will lead to finding my future wife online. I'm a bit
preachy for most - especially in person."
Me: "What will you do for me if it does?"
Jun: "I'm not too sure. We all know what happened the last time I met
someone online...."
Me: "Yeah... me too..."
LOL. And the person I refer to is... Jun's brother! Two years ago, Jun was CONVINCED that his brother and I were meant to be, "yeah Christine he's a bad-ass, in-control, big Korean dude, you'd LOVE him" and set us up through EMAIL. Holy cow was THAT ever a disaster story that I'll have to elaborate on later. INSIDE JOKE. Suffice it to say that I wasn't speaking to Jun for a long time after that. What an idiot. Me I mean. Him TOO.
Last but not least... today was an absolutely gorgeous day. I live for these moments.
