Flasses/The Kari Haun Initiative

My new accouterments include chin beard and Flasses.  Flasses are real frames with fake lenses.  This is my new social experiment.  For those of you who know me this will come as no surprise.  The real interesting bit lies within the fact that people who don't know me all that well are convinced I look more studious and take me more serious.  I know it's funny but the fact is when someone doesn't know you they are more sensitive to how you appear.  I know this isn't mind blowing but realizing that people that you work with every day often can't see past your spectacles or a style of shirt kind of makes you evaluate everything you say and do.  Knowing that people can't see past certain things really makes you wonder what they do pick out about you...your hair, those words you say in awkward pauses in conversations, even down to how well you treat those with whom you aren't friendly.


Thought for the day...though people who you work with don't know even the most basic things about your personality they are bound to pick up some things.  What if the only thing they pick up is that you are selfish and a Christian.  Or that you sometimes take pens home with you from work and you are a Christian.  The sad truth is that being a Christian is great lip service but if you can't confirm that claim with the things you do every day there is a really good chance that you become the reason that people can't stand Christianity.


Of these things I am sure I am the worst offender...


New font means Nae's turn to speak;
For the record, Jared's "flasses" look completely ridiculous. I think they actually look quite nice on him in a serious sense. But the fact that he actually wears them makes them ridiculous. 


Big news in the Heesch house today - Jaden is now crawling. It's not very smooth yet, but he gets across the room. 


Other notes of the day: our air conditioner stopped working, had a nice dinner tonight with Mom & Chey at Culvers, Dori (our chocolate lab) is getting ready to go into heat again, and we mowed the lawn. We are sleeping in the basement tonight because it's so hot upstairs. Up next tomorrow: cleaning the mess that is called our kitchen, and hopefully laying tile in the bathroom. For those who don't know, we are nearly finished with our basement remodeling project - just the bathroom to go! Wish us luck :)


So long.
