prank phone call....
I recieved one the other night at work....it wasn't a very good one...just someone pretending to be someone else and then some foul-mouthed language at the end....One of my favorite people, a very put together well mannered and classy senior lady asked me how I was doing and I told her that I just got a crank/prank call....
She started telling me what "they" used to do....
Call a friends mother and say:
"Your water will be turned off for a few hours this afternoon, so make sure that you fill as many containers with water as possible!"
and then they would have a good laugh when one of the mother's would actually do it....
pretty funny...
Is it crank or prank?

The puppy is crazy!!!
At work....

Have you ever seen someone cry as they were eating.....

I have and it is pretty funny....I picked the Kindergarteners up from school today and Luke said..."Let's get some doughnuts!" I said "Wow, that is a great idea!" I love great ideas...
So we were on our way to the drive thru at Krispy Kreme and were nearing Target and Luke changed his mind and said "I want cookies instead"...having my heart set on doughnuts and the idea of quick drive thru and realizing that Luke may be tricking me into going to Target (I am getting smarter) I said "Let's get doughnuts so we don't have to get out of the car."
So he starts whining...and I am thinking this is totally ridiculous...but wanting the doughnuts instead of not getting anything...we got in line...Luke started to cry...I ordered cute doughnut holes and he cried more...
We parked the car in the shade and I ate one, handed one to Seth and then one to Luke to see what he would do...He took it, ate it while blubbering alligator tears.... I gave him another one and I took the other way home....
Singing Sacred Heart.....
If you haven't heard of Sacred Heart Singing here is a little clip from some show....
It is so much fun, uplifting, spiritual and down to earth....
But every once in a while there will be a song that sounds like a pirate song....those are my favorites..
I'll say to Joe "That was a pirate song!"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_Harp
It really fills a space inside being able to sing, not worrying about how you sound or if you hit the right note, it doesn't matter...By the end of the night I really felt apart of the group an was understanding the music better and was amazed at the 4 part harmony...If you sing the wrong note you end up probably singing one of the other notes that were supposed to be sung...anyway...
Find a group near you...

The Loveseat in the Lobby...
if it could talk, would tell many wild tales! Luckily I am there once in a while to hear what is being said on the loveseat!I work at the front desk of a senior retirement apartment building in the high end of town....
I can usually hear everything being said because Seniors talk really loud, even when they are whispering....
Just Monday I heard..."How many pears can you eat without getting diarrhea"? "I won't eat them"......
BUT I need to be careful because I heard a Senior tell someone on the loveseat that she was going to see if her package was in....and I had it ready for her before she said anything to me...she was surprised and a little freaked out.....yikes ...I don't want them to know I hear everything or think that I am psychic.....ya know
Wild Senior Lady (WSL) and her boyfriend were sitting on the LOVESEAT...
Come join the PTO...
We have PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) instead of PTA (Parent Teacher Association).
I thought "WOW, if I go...it could lead to being nominated for Vice President of the United States..!)
WOW, think of it! Pretty hillarious!
Luke didn't want to go to school today...

The Ikea catalog has arrived.....

At work...the front desk is right by the mailboxes...I am so glad that I was there when the IKEA catalog arrived on Monday!....The Seniors were not the least interested in Ikea furniture...

OH NO!

YES! That's Better!
Today...

I smelled the freshness of the just recently power washed front walkway and then saw that a cat just puked right in the middle of it...
I heard Seth in a Darth Vader voice say "My spaceship just ran out of gas"...while playing with Star Wars figures...
I felt like fainting in the 100 degree weather in Portland .....
Life is never dull....at work

I was sitting eating breakfast in the dining room with some Senior friends and WSL walks up and says to one of them:
The beautiful blouse lady looks down at her blouse to see which one it is and says:
WSL then threatens: (she really likes the blouse)
Beautiful blouse lady is shocked and speechless... then looks at me (I try not to laugh)
WSL walks on and all eyes roll at the table...
"Hey you guys are big boys now!"
"and I don't want you to take all these clothes out and throw them on the floor anymore."
Luke then said: "We aren't big boys, we are still little boys!"
Okay so is that how it is going to be?
"Can I borrow your suitcase?"
We were driving around in the car today...and I asked him if I could borrow it for the cruise we are going on in a couple days...
He said "sure" and right then and there pulled the keys to it out of his pocket....
He had the keys in his pocket...it was so funny and sweet!
I said, "Thanks!"
