I was looking at Shawn's watch today and I noticed it was July 25th... I thought to myself, holy smokes, it's my sister's birthday tomorrow! I am so glad that I didn't miss it. Oh man, next year is going to be your lucky birthday, 26 on the 26th! This year can be lucky too though, I wish you good luck on your birthday (choke dee-- in Thai means good luck).
I learned today while in Cambodia that you can bless or curse people with good luck. We were blessed by some people wanting our money for tying a red string on our wrists... then later we were literally cursed by a woman because we wouldn't buy her little figurine of an elephant. She said, "you will have bad luck tomorrow, you not buy from me!"
We walked away a little surprised and then we heard a crash... we looked behind us and she had dropped the elephant figure and its legs broke off! I guess if you try to give someone else bad luck then you get the bad luck yourself. I think you can get good luck from people though, that was the point of that rambling... and all of this was just to tell you...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATALIE!!!!
