Laughing Uncontrollably

OK!

So there I was, rewarding myself for successfully doing my fasting bloodwork this morning by getting a nice meaty lunch at Subway in between teaching sessions for my Wed Academic Day. Prior to that, I went to Blessings Christian Bookstores to peruse the many books I'd like to buy and read or CDs I'd love to get...but in truth, my one mission for this side trip was to find the book 'Men Are Like Waffles-Women Are Like Spaghetti' (Bill & Pam Farrel). I"ve heard great reviews from a few people and was curious. Also wanted to check out books about Intercessory Prayer...

So I got the last copy on the shelf, decided to 'hold' on getting the other book (on Intercessory Prayer) for now (will wait for when I can use my coupon...;0), and decided to skip Lunch Rounds for today and just go and get some lunch and some much needed R & R time/reading time. (Yesterday was an absolutely CRAZY and EXHAUSTING day with fitful sleep and then no sleep and a full clinic day and 3 hour Mandarin Chinese evening class after work. The fitful and lack of sleep was due to a (2nd) false alarm for one of my pregnant patients...had to go to Labour & Delivery at 4:33am after prior being woken up at 12:30am and forewarned....).

Anyway...sorry this story is so drawn out... First I ate my sub. Then I read some C.S. Lewis (priorities!), then I cracked open my newly bought 'Men are Like Waffles-Women Are Like Spaghetti' book....

!!!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! I only read the first 6.25 pages and I COULD NOT contain myself! I was shaking uncontrollably, trying not to make any 'outside' audible laughter in the Subway restaurant. To the poor Subway sandwich artist behind me, I am sure she was contemplating calling 911 for a query seizure patient! I was the only one in the store at that time (thank goodness). I couldn't wait to get into my car so I could explode in audible laughter at the top of my lungs!!!

Truly, you'll have to read those first 6.25 pages to know exactly what I mean. The Farrels give some incredibly astounding and completely true examples and insight into the differences in processing and needs of men and women... in an extremely entertaining and accessibly 'down-to-earth' way!!!

Oh! Enlightening!
I just had to blog about it! ;0)
And in so doing (blogging), I have just now realised that I have proved exactly how women are like spaghetti.

love to all! (whoever you are!)
