Yesterday as I was on my way into church,

I ran into my friend Stella. She is an Italian woman who I have known for a long time. Her sister, who did not speak any English, was visiting from Italy. Her sister looked me up and down and her eyes lit up. She got a huge smile on her face and started speaking in Italian really fast with lots of hand motions. I couldn't understand a word she was saying. Stella translated: "She thinks you look like a Barbie. And she wants to take you home in her suitcase."

Wait.....

"Now she says you can't come to Italy with her until you are married because the Italian men will be all over you!"

Random, but of course I was flattered :)
