Yesterday was another goodbye for me at the station. I have 16 days of work left...and now they are all officially spent
at work. Yesterday was my very last sticker stop.
Lynne and I packed up the big van and headed to the north side of Fort Wayne to spend the afternoon meeting listeners, cleaning their car windows, and putting WBCL stickers on their cars.
Ummmmm....can we talk about the big van for a minute? My car is approximately a QUARTER the size of the big van. And my car doesn't have a wrap covering the windows. So I had something just short of a panic attack about getting in this giant lime green thing and driving it through the heart of the city and across town. {If I ever drive a station vehicle, it's usually the mini-van, not the big beast.}
The last time Lynne and I worked a sticker stop, it rained. Not hard, but enough to make it interesting to do our washing/stickering tasks while hauling umbrellas and big hair. So having a gorgeous warm day that warranted shorts and flip-flops was pretty great.
Oh. And I have a sunburn now.
Here's proof I really did work.
Why yes, I did roll up my sleeves on my polo so I wouldn't get a weird tan line.
Know what I love?? Seeing you guys. Tracy, it was a joy to hug you yesterday and thanks for indulging me in a selfie. :) Thanks for coming here so often and for leaving me notes now and then. So great to see you!
Lynne and Dawn. I met Dawn through the station, and she was my assistant on Daddy Daughter Date Night when I worked the photo booth! Thanks for coming to see us, Dawn!!
Janelle is the friend who put together that incredible mock interview between Lynne and me, using quotes from BLT shows of days gone by. Incredible talent!! Fun to see her!
And last but by no means least, SHARI!! She has declared herself my #1 fan, and while I don't consider myself fan-worthy by any stretch of the imagination, I also think you better not argue with her because she's pretty passionate about that position! She wore her coffee shirt just for me, and it was an absolute joy to see her again. Shari, next time you're in Marion, CALL ME!
After three hours of much fun in the sun, I took the lanyard off for the last time. I remember the day I got a lanyard for the first time...it was a good little day. I'm gonna miss this guy. But I'm also excited for the future!

What a fun event. Looks like you had a blast.
You don't get to keep the lanyard for old times sake?
I'm sure you're savoring all of the "finals" at your job and they are all bittersweet. Looking forward to reading all about the new direction where God leads you... hopefully it will mean literally more reading for those of us who enjoy your writing and are blessed by it each day.

But so so blessed each day by your show. It's my favorite and shhhh I listen to the focus on the family everyday too and i still like mid morning best of ALL.

Was so nice visiting with you in person! You had a perfect day for stickering....don't think that's a real word, however!! But, I like to make up words also...just like Ryan! :o)
Thanks for the shout out!
Tamar - Nope. :( At least I don't think so. Probably a hazard of sneaking into events. LOL!!
Maria - Thanks so much for the kind words!! I am indeed savoring each one as much as I possibly can - and I'm so excited for the writing!!
Polly - hurry and make the cake!! :) You need your fruit intake!
Shari - Stickering it is!! I love it!! :)
