So my mom (hi Mami!) is horrified that I am giving Miami such bad press here.
I love Miami, but Mom, this stuff, you have to admit, is true. Consider it a favor that I am keeping the tourists away from you. That means fewer people on US-1. You’re welcome.
Bring on Willy Chirino….
So I have this friend who sees my happy mood today and swoops into my office all secretive and stuff, grabs a scrap of paper off my desk and writes —
…and then disappears. Of course, I had to look it up. She was right.
She is clothed with strength and dignity,
and laughs at the days to come.
Proverbs 31:25
One of my favorite resources on-line is Lisa Hendey’s CatholicMom.com. I met Lisa many years ago at the first Catholic New Media Celebration in Atlanta. She was moderating the blogging panel and I thought, wow, is this woman really as nice as she seems to be?
Yes, she is.
Rumors of her diva-like qualities, rumors, I confess, perpetuated on Catholic Weekend and totally undeserved. She’s a peach. A pussycat. A sweetheart. A delightful…well, you get the picture.
Every once in a while she’ll have a contest over on her website. All you have to do is post a comment on a blogpost and voila! Through the magic of very complex algorithms that only Stephen Hawking or Data can understand, she draws a winner.
Cue this whimsical (and a little quirky, I’m not gonna lie) bobble-head of Mother Teresa!!!
I won this neat little kitschy conversation starter, and knew I had to share it with you. I think I’ll carry her around with me for a while, but I have this crazy idea that she could be a fun little Flat Stanley project, only, not flat, bobble-headed.
Whadya think? I’d be happy to send it to anyone wanting a picture with her. The catch is, you have to send me a picture, and you have to mail it to the next person requesting her bobble-headed grandeur. I’ll post the pictures here.
Oh, and you should commit to praying a rosary for the person who sent it to you. I mean, it is Mother Teresa, after all.
Discuss!
