Belated
Whoa, it's been ten days since my birthday. A big thank you to all who sent me wishes and greetings and thoughts!
Since I had to work, my actual birthday was quiet and uneventful. Prior to my birthday I went out to two restaurants. One with the in-laws and the other with the reason why I even have in-laws. Those were good. After my actual birthdate, I received presents and cards and I think I won Mike's "ipod debacle" and now am in possession of a 60 GB ipod with video screen. I am totally in like with it. I bought it a sleek skin so that I may wear it strapped on my arm as I go to use the gym equipment. ipods cause deafness. I am not deaf yet. Although I did receive an off-handed song of happy birthday from my mother, left on my cellphone messages. She's too funny.
Onto other things.
The other day (yesterday) whilst at the supermarket (duh) I observed a child eating one of those vanilla wafers, no not Nilla Wafers, but those rectangular, crispy wafers, filled with vanilla cream in the middle. The child, a male of the species, ate it how I would eat it, carefully lifting the top layer off with his top teeth, taking a small bite and then waiting til it melted in his mouth before giving an off-handed chew and swallowing, continuing the process with the next layer. The top layer was always my favorite. Now why is that? I thought and thought about it and I came up with the conclusion that it reminds me of the Host. The body of Christ wafer that you march solemnly up to the altar for, holding your hands cupped before you, as the priest placed it into your palm, said what it is he says and then you say "Amen" and do the sign of the cross. Hands must be left hand atop of right so that right will be the hand that then sweeps from underneath, removes the wafer from the left and deposits it into mouth. I also do the same with KitKat bars.
Is it odd and sacrilegious to relate eating a vanilla wafer to having the Body of Christ in one's mouth?
Happy Birthday to Me.
P.S. Does anyone know or remember what it is the priest whispers as he places the bit in your mouth?
P.P.S. They use to place those in your mouth and not your hands because it would be almost gross to have such lowly people touching the body of Christ. Those old ladies at Church still have that done.
Come inside and see
