I had not seen her with her old glasses, but when she was surfing somewhere, they fell off her and she had to get new ones. The new ones were had thick rims and had flowers, sparkles, and bumblebees on the sides! She was allowed to wear them for some time, but then she had to get other more regular ones. She said she misses her old ones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah my sensible side won out on the glasses. There was a sale two pairs for $99. So I got a basic wire frame and then a simple black plastic frame. I was looking at a fun pink plastic frame but I just couldn't convince myself to get them. The black plastic ones were as about adventurous as I was willing to go...

AveMariaPurissima Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 These are great...although I was too lazy to read through all 27 pages...Maybe sometime... -When in conversation you refer simply to "the Sisters" and assume that your listener will immediately know what community you're talking about. -When you realize that saying "[u]my[/u] Sisters," and "[u]my[/u] Community" just sounds more natural. (then you realize that you've been doing that for months and hadn't noticed. ) -When you look at the young cashiers at the grocery store and think, "She'd make a cute postulant somewhere."

EmilyAnn Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 When you see words like "mum" you read it as "nun". Very confusing when I'm trying to ring my mum!

Quaesivi Vultuum Tuum Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 When a poor person that i visited says me: you lack your vocation, you must become a nun! When accidently one of the sister of my community ask me: sister P... Can you? And after everybody laught, she says, not sister, but it sad! When at your work everybody says: not vulgar languages in front of Quasivi, it's'a sin! Quasivi, dou you think that i must confess? When you work and a morning your director look you and says: if you take a veil you look like a nun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
