Oh the Adventures

It's been an eventful week here in Bekahland. Here are some of the events, in no particular order.

* Yesterday I had a first at work...I received a business email signed XOXOXO. Financial Aid isn't really an office where we're prone to "feeling the love" so that was kind of a new experience.

* Last night was the first official lawn mowing of the season. I do not love mowing but I do love the smell of freshly cut grass, so it pays off. My "mowing shoes" are always my retired running shoes. I was in such a hurry to get outside to exercise after mowing and before dark that I forgot to change my mowing shoes to my running shoes. This particular pair of shoes became retired because the left heel broke through. Let's just say it was quite an experience to exercise on a broken shoe. (No time to come home and change into the right ones.)

* The reason I was in such a hurry was because in between mowing and working out, I tried to order some pictures online. I just needed pictures of Easter. Six pictures...two copies of each. As I hit "submit" on my order, I noticed I'd somehow...DON'T KNOW HOW...ordered NINETY PHOTOS. Easter was okay but it wasn't 90 pictures good. So I had to scramble to call the store (three times before I got an answer, of course) to cancel that bad boy before it printed.

* This is a great story in full detail but unfortunately my pride/interest in keeping my job prevents me from printing it in its entirety. Yesterday in a conversation with my boss, I COMPLETELY insulted her. Absolutely spoke before stopping to consider how my words would come out. Thank the Lord she has a good sense of humor and just cracked up over both what I said and the horrified look that followed.

* Last night - literally smack in the middle of my broken shoe walk - I developed an ear problem. WHAT?!?! How does that happen? One minute...fine. Next minute, passed a runner, smiled, and thought - OW! My ear hurts! By the time I got home, it was hurting pretty badly and I was starting to get that "I can't hear anything but my own chewing" feeling. I had this a couple of years ago and it took a while for it to go away. So today I began the routine to try to cure it. I do feel better than I did during the day today, when I was basically in excruciating pain. And I'm so over hearing myself chew. ANNOYING.

I think that's about all the adventure I can remember. OH! And I got "snooze" and "off" confused on my alarm this morning. Good thing God bailed me out on that one. :)
