Time change + me = not good!

"The closer you get to the fronter of the building... wait, fronter isn't a word."

Yes, that was my brilliance today! Our office has windows all along the front of the building and they let in the cold. It's a good thing I don't work by them, I'm cold enough as it is.

I went to bed an hour earlier last night trying to counteract some of the time change problems I've been having. I'm thinking it didn't help, as evidenced by my speech!

Overheard last night...

My sister-in-law had her baby last night, I have a new nephew! While at the hospital to see him I overheard the following conversations between sister-in-law and 3 year old nephew.

nephew: Bye Mom!
s-i-l: Bye.
nephew: I take baby home?
s-i-l: No, baby needs to stay here with me.
nephew: (crying) But I want to take baby home!

I found it funny he didn't care if mom came home, he just wanted his baby brother home. The next conversation was funny.

nephew: Mom, does him talk yet?
s-i-l: Nope, not yet.

I think my brother and sister-in-law will have their hands full with these two!

Computer help desk...

I went to Grandma's last night to fix her computer so she could do more indexing for the Church's genealogy program. I'd tried the first 2 solutions for the problem and the next was to uninstall and reinstall the program. All Grandma sees is her icon disappear. She FREAKED out. I told her I would get her icon back, but she didn't believe me until I had it back on the desktop and had the program running again. I tried to get her to leave the room and go fix her dinner so that I wouldn't scare her again, but she didn't want to leave me. Once I got it back and running she wanted to go get dinner at the local Mexican restaurant. Chips and Salsa, count me in! :)

Strange dream

So I almost never remember my dreams, but this morning I woke up fully remembering it. It was strange enough that I am kind of glad I don't remember them! :)

I go to water aerobics at the local rec center and there are 3 different instructors. These 3 instructors and I were somewhere (I'd say a hotel). And Bob and Jillian from The Biggest Loser were there yelling at us. It seems I'd lost my swimsuit top and couldn't go workout in the pool! Never fear, I found it under the bed but then I woke up.

Maybe this is why I wake up tired...I'm dreaming of exercising all night.

Tattaling

A couple of weeks ago the whole family was at my parents house for Sunday dinner. My youngest sister was telling what she thought was a funny story about me, that wasn't that funny. I could hear her and went in there to ask her to knock it off. There were no neices or nephews in the room so I told her 'shut-up, it's not that funny'. All the sudden I hear this little 2-year-old voice from the stairs. "Mom, Amy said shut-up." It was in a 2-year-old whisper so I heard the whole thing, but what's funny is he was tattaling to my sister-in-law on me! I told him I was sorry and wouldn't say it again. It's not fun when you get in trouble because of the 2-year-old!

Phone call today...

I've never had a problem with people misspelling my first name, so I never spell it out for people. Today I answered a phone call at work and after verifing a bunch of information about the company she asks for my name. Here's what happened:

Caller: Can I get your name?
Me: Amy
Caller: Okay, is the spelling E M I.
Me: (trying not to laugh) No, it's A M Y.
Caller: Okay, thanks.

Now, she had an Indian accent and English was not her first language, but Emi? Seriously? At least we all got a good laugh when I finally hung up.

Funny Story...

So the boss is in town last week and I had a half hour meeting with him. Not too bad, but I'm pretty nervous about it. He works in California and we almost never see him in Utah.

That morning I figure I should be a little more dressed up than usual. (And this summer I've been a lot on the casual side!) So I pull out a pair of dress pants I haven't worn in months and go to work. All is good, my meeting went well but about 4 o'clock I can feel that there is this strange bump on the back of my leg, so I go in the bathroom to check it out.

Turns out I've had a dryer sheet in my pants ALL DAY LONG! Luckily, it stayed in my pants and I didn't have it trailing behind me when I went for my meeting! :) I'll be checking inside my pant legs from now on I think.
