Surrounded By Officers

I'm not joking there are 8 police officers and one hotel security guard around me. I must have been a real bad girl

I can't even make the attempt to make it sound like I've done something wrong hehe


I'm sitting in the lobby waiting on Jes to come get me and the IWC is letting out so all the officers were gathered around and I've been asked at least 6 times....make that 7 to take pictures for a bunch of Japanese people I can't understand. I assume when a camera (really really nice ones at that- I had to make sure I didn't leave drool on them hehe) is thrusted into my hands that I'm suppose to take their picture. They've had me laughing. One of the officers pretended to hand cuff this older little Japanese man and there are no worries that one would take it seriously for two of the officers are doubled over in laughter. Its a pictures I wish I had a copy of but I dont have my camera on me.

Ya'll still alive hehe

This is a nice end to the day.

I spent the day very attached to my iPod for the conversation going on in my office today could have really got me fired up if I had participated in it. There was a lot of tuning out. Todays conversation was not one normal to the ladies in my office- normally its leans toward highly inappropriate both professionally and morally. Not today though today they discussed relationships. An older women was advising one younger on how to deal with a certain situation in her relationship. There was such a disrespect for the guy that it made me sad at first what could he possibly have done that deemed that. Then when I heard what it was all about- such a petty thing I really was fighting getting mad. I don't really care what a guy does he's still a person and deserves some respect. Its one of those things that I just don't get.

At first I was going to speak up to disagree but I couldn't figure out how to tell her that her problem was the lack of communication in her relationship and that she was being childish and that he didn't deserve that. However I did state that if she wanted him to trust her and respect her she was going to have to do the same for him. I got a glare that could kill so I hushed up.

They've commented that I didn't understand because I've never been treated poorly by a guy. Until today I felt bad for them. No I've NEVER been treated poorly by a guy- I've been treated with the utmost respect and love by the guys in my life. If I took the time to think hard enough I could come up with a few occasions that I should have been treated better but not by anyone I was even remotely close to. The reason for this is I've never treated a guy any other way myself and hearing them talk showed me why to some extent they've been treated that way. As the conversation got worse the more I tuned them out.

Every day I pray that my life can be a witness to them and that I use wisdom in what I say. I don't ever really get to say much before I'm shut down by a glare or a rude comment.

But today they showed me something.... what love and respect is not....

Well I guess mom is now coming to get me... off to the store then to the apartment to clean. Megan is staying with us this weekend. Its going to be one crazy busy weekend/ week.

Please be in pray for this convention... I can't speak for everyone but this weekend will hold a lot of answers to a lot of prayers this weekend.
