The Secret

My friend Erin is reading the book "The Secret". She said that throughout the book, the words The Secret appear almost every other sentence. They are in italic and every time she reads those words, she imagines the words being whispered. It cracks me up!

Apparently, Oprah suggested reading "The Secret" and has done a few shows on the book. From what I understand from Erin, "The Secret" is basically believing in the power of positive thinking.

Tonight, we had my parents over for dinner...for the first time.
Yeah, I know it's long overdue, but I've never been known for my timeliness. Song Min actually made the entire dinner. Yup, he was a real sport. While I went to the spa and lunch with my friends, Song Min made a beautiful turkey dinner (complete with cornbread stuffing, herb buttered parsnips, gravy AND a no flour chocolate cake with handmade whipped cream). Song Min is really such a great cook.

My parents showed up with some lovely red tulips. We had dinner and cake...mmmmm. Then we cleared the table for the card game 3-13. I learned this game from a friend and it has been a game that my husband and I have really enjoyed playing together. Tonight, with the help of my positive thinking, I won the first game. The second game was won by my mom. However, at the beginning of the game, I announced that I was going to use my positive thinking to help my mom win the game. So, though I came in second...I feel partially responsible for my mom's victory! Ha ha!

After, Song Min and I whipped out the Rock Band gear and showed my parents our skills. They just weren't nearly as impressed as my brother or our other friends. I think that if the game was called Country Band...they would have been our number one fans!
