Obey Your Own Rules. Be a Hero.

Posted by kim on June 7, 2007

I made up new “rules” when we moved into the new house, including “no shoes on the carpet” and “no food or drink on the carpet”, and the rules apply to everyone…, but me. It seems whenever I get hungry or thirsty, I’m always in the middle of working on something that I can’t pull myself away from, so I have the authority to eat at my desk. Well, yesterday my sister (I’ve forgave her for our shopping trip) made some really good No Bake Cookies, and since I like milk with my cookies, I indulged, and needless to say, the whole glass of milk ended up on/in my computer keyboard. I thought I had it all blown out, but this morning every key stuck, so I had to make a trip to Office Max for a new one as none of my other keyboards here had a USB end.

Tomorrow I have to go to the bank and close/open a new checking account since I’ve been having counterfeit checks made out to “Intabill” posted to my account, plus take my vehicle in for “funny noises” under the hood, plus take my son into the hospital for more tests for his irregular/rapid heartbeat. And that’s on top of vacation bible school, carpooling to the swimming pool, board meetings and trying to work. Calgon take me away.

On a brighter note, today is Be a Hero for Babies Day. I’ve always been a big supporter of the March of Dimes efforts (thus they continue to send me address labels by the truckload). I even paid for a ScooterSqueeze™ on AffiliateHug.com as I know firsthand that Uncle Scooter gives good hugs, and it’s a great cause.

What I’m listening to on iTunes: “Good Directions” by Billy Currington I’ve never seen anyone selling turnips on a flatbed truck at our Farmer’s Market.
