Cell phone cautionary tale

I had a really good laugh last night at the hockey game, a friend told me about this little move she did. It is totally something that I might do, so it was good to hear it could happen to someone else.

She was at a hockey tournament yesterday when her cell phone rang. She answered it and couldn't hear because of the game, so she went up to the lobby area.

Well, the lobby wasn't much better, so she decided to go into the bathroom where it would be quieter. She was really into the conversation and paced around the bathroom talking to her friend when she was interrupted.

A guy stopped and said, "Lady, you're in the wrong bathroom."

Whoops.

Ha! That is awesome! I bet her face was several shades of red.

I love it! Flying out of RC on the 15th of last month, I did a twist on that move. I raced into a stall, fairly desperate to go and noticed that the feet in the adjacent stall were really big. Then I heard a newspaper rattle. Then I noticed urinals on my way out. Then I smiled sheepishly at the dude staring at me in the mirror as he washed his hands. Then he sat in front of me on the flight to Denver. Then he sat across the aisle on the flight to Birmingham...

Hey--been thinking of you a lot. I rented the first disk of The Office season three...make my dad watch it with me last night. He was even less impressed than the hubby, but that did not stop me from laughing my butt off!

That's like the time my kids raced ahead of me and got into our van at Home Depot. It wasn't until after I actually put three paint cans in the back hatch that I realized that the owner of the van (exact model - but obviously now ours) was in the front seat on her cell phone!! ... I still crack up thinking about that one.

50 is the new 40

There is hope - I realized today that Madonna is going to be 50 in like 3 months - crazy. 50. Have you seen her lately? She looks amazing and is proof that 50 is the new 40 or in her case 35. Here is her most recent song w/Justin Timberlake, 4 Minutes. Not gonna win a Grammy, but makes me want to start doing yoga, I would give anything for arms like that.

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b

So proud

When we arrived home from vacation there was an envelope from AE's school district among the piles of magazines and bills. I opened the envelope fully expecting to find information about a District 279 fundraiser. Instead the letter began with, "To the Family of AE: Congratulations! AE has been selected to be the recipient of an Educational Shareholder Award at the District 279 Foundation annual Investment in Youth event." I couldn't comprehend the letter at first and had to stop and re-read the first sentence again. There was a corresponding essay: AE is a 3rd grader at Weaver Lake Elementary. In her 3rd grade classroom there are several children with Autism whom she has taken under her wing. Last year she asked her mother to request a classroom with students from the Connect program. Some of the things AE has done to help these students are she sits by them during instruction time and walks them through the directions, she helps them fill out their assignment noteb
