Well, I finally got up the nerve to check our mailbox this evening and got my letter from the Texas State Board of Pharmacy... I passed my law exam!!! I was so nervous because I felt horrible after my exam and was afraid that I had failed the exam. To celebrate, I finally had my first (half) glass of wine in about a year. And it was gooooooood!

The Book of Esther - Weeks 2 and 3
Well, last week I drove to bible study, but since the parking lots were all full, I decided to turn around and just go early this week for the videotape session.
This week's lessons were on meanness and anger. "Meanness in ourselves is brought out whenever we perceive a threat." I thought about this in my past and it's definitely true. I remember when Matthew and I were first dating and there was a blond aerobics instructor whom Matthew knew from his gym. She would talk to him to be friendly, but I was so jealous that I would say mean things about her to him. I was just awful! I was so insecure and "insecurity is at the heart of every rivalry." (She got back at me later when I waited on her and she gave me a bad tip.)
The Book of Esther is set in Persia during the reign of King Xerxes and it turns out that there are some parallels between Persian society of old and our post-modern society, specifically in their idea of beauty. "Beauty isn't something you were, it was something you did." Persian women subjected themselves to all sorts of treatments to become "beautiful." I thought of the recent popularity of plastic surgery and silicone and botox in our society today. "When beauty is a treatment instead of something you are, you can never do enough."

One Cool Dude
On Saturday we bought a pair of sunglasses for Sean. He looks even cuter with both his baseball cap and his sunglasses.

Oral Examinations
Sean is learning about his world through his mouth. Most of the time he chomps on his fingers, but sometimes he chomps on his toys. As you can see, Sean likes his steaks pretty rare.
