I love surprises, don't you? Well, maybe not the STD, unplanned
pregnancy, in-laws dropping in or flat tire in the pouring rain type of
surprises, but the good ones. The ones you plan and execute for the sole
purpose of pleasing someone. This is what I am working on right now. A
birthday present for my husband… and of course presents are always surprises,
right? This one involves us both taking five days off and… um, I guess
that's all I am going to say. He knows about the time he has to take
off, but so far that is all he knows about. I can't let it slip before
his birthday!! Lets just say I can hardly wait and I am very excited about it!!
I had a great day at work today. I heard a story from a customer
about her nickname "honderwoman." It came from a goof she made years ago
in high school. Making an announcement over the PA system, she tried to
say, "Hearts grow fonder," which came out "Farts grow honder." Imagine
all your teachers and classmates hearing that and bursting out into
spontaneous laughter .
I countered with a story of a minister introducing the Christmas
play and asking the congregation to be sure to turn off their cell
phones and vibrators. True story.
The final story, the one I feared would permanently lose me a set
of customers (but could I refrain from telling it? NO!) was about
sharing our joys and concerns in church one spring Sunday many years
ago. An elderly gentleman decided to share his joy of spring's arrival
and stood to make his comment that the trees lining the parking lot had
the biggest furriest pussies on them he'd ever seen. Again, true story.
