buying favor?

Ex-husband called the house yesterday to speak with the kids. He asked 13 yr old son to hand the phone to 14 yr old daughter at the end of the first phone call and she hung up the phone without speaking to him. She’s not spoken to him much for over a year because […]

confession

This morning I helped Mom and Dad move a truckload of mulch from the back of their pickup to the flowerbed. Mom and I got the mulch from the local recycling center for FREE. I have some here at my house to use in my flowerbeds, but need to get more. I […]

overheard

This could have been heard if you were near my desk today:
(it was not me, btw)
Oh my goodness! My nose is flaking off. I’m turning into Michael Jackson over here!
and
Did you see that orange sign in the breakroom? I thought it said
Auto Painless Hair Removal and had to do a double take!

Is there a wigmaker in the house?

I hope not!
The following conversation could have been overheard near my desk on Friday afternoon:
coworker: Natalie, the back of your hair would make a perfect wig. I was just sitting here thinking that I would wear a wig made from your hair.
me: Ummm… ok. Thanks, I think. (looking bewildered, […]

conversation

When leaving the farmers market (or should it be farmers‘), youngest daughter was telling me about a movie they watched in science class about creation.  She said she didn’t understand the theory about asteroids hitting together to form a mass that later became earth.  I told her I don’t understand how most of the theories […]

morning question

Son:  Mom?  Were you born yet when Al Capone was alive?
Me:  Didn’t he die in the 1940’s?   How old am I?
Son:  I don’t know.  Uhmmm… I guess you couldn’t have been alive then, huh?
Me:  No, Grammie and Papa weren’t even born yet when he died.
Son:  Oh.  I just read a book about him.   Have […]

a conversation between co-workers

A: That man reminds me of Earl from Cornbread, Earl and Me. Have you ever seen that one?
B: No. I’ve heard of Me, Myself and Irene, but not the Cornbread one.
A: You should watch it. It’s a good movie.

I’ve not ever seen Cornbread, Earl and Me. Have you?

conversation

Co-worker: Hey, Natalie, they have Far Bowls upstairs.
Me: What?
Co-worker: Far Bowls.
Me: What are Far Bowls?
[Co-worker shows a little box of candy to me]
Me: Aah… Fire Balls! (candy)
This goes to show that it’s hard to talk with a mouth full of candy!

(I cannot find a photo of a box of […]

a hair-raising conversation

Co-worker: Did you do something different to your hair?
Me: No. I just didn’t fix it. I was in a hurry.
(I let it dry today with no gel, mouse, or any styling product at all. It’s curly.. with little ringlets around my face. Usually I blow dry it out straight or […]
