Its possible I'm too long

On Monday night I went to a gathering...a group of a women who meet regularly for bible study but on this particular night were just hanging out. Last semester they met on Tuesday night, which is when our weekly meeting is and this semester I'm not totally sure I can be a part of the group because its hard to commit to nights, but I went to meet new people and hang out. 

It was a great time and I really enjoyed meeting the girls. We were all sitting around having dinner and chatting about a lot of random things. Politics, tv shows, movies, and the like...ya know normal conversation when you gather a bunch of girls. I got up to get a lemon square but of course, and when I sat back down at the table, I hit my knee so dang hard on the table leg. It hurt. It hit me....the whole time I was in East Asia, I told people, I'm too long for this country, but I think its possible that I'm just too long for this country too. I hit myself on more things than anyone else. I'm not at all suggesting that I'm too tall, there are plenty of people taller than I. I am however suggesting that my legs are a bit too long. They get in the way and as a result get banged into table legs. I suppose that would happen to me. 

It is worth noting that there WAS a light out over the stairs in our apartment. With the help of a step ladder, I was able to reach it, thanks for being a little bit longer than most people. I guess it pays off from time to time.

I tried to focus and read your posting, but once you said "lemon square" that's all I could think about. "Man, a lemon square would be sooo good right now."
