Even Creepy Guys Can't Keep Me From the Mailbox

Remember the last time I wrote about walking down to my mailbox? Well, even creepy creeps aren't going to stop me from checking the mail every day. I've been getting too many nifty things! Look what has arrived within the past week: I looooove blog giveaways! Really, most of them only seem to have ~100 entries or so. I like those odds! Thank you, Kara at Mine for the Making and Michele at The Scrap Shoppe for my pretty ring. I wore it to work last week and received so many compliments! I also won a giveaway from Megan at Half-Pint House . See if you can decipher my fancy new art tile: (Hint: It's my last name) Hmmm...if you already know my last name, I guess that's less of a hint and more of me just ruining the game. Sorry! I like this cute goose (swan?) the best. And an extra-special thank you to Sue at Spell-It-Out Photos who helped me design my tile, even going to the trouble of providing a specially requested background color.

Stupid Work Story

This is my job. I answered the phone on Monday and an angry man yelled at me, demanding to know the phone number of our collection agency. I told him. Angry Man: I have a business and my number is just a digit off from that! All day, every day, people call saying F-this and F-that and it's all because the numbers are so close!

More Awkwardness Angry Man, no longer angry: I appreciate your time, ma'am. I don't have a photo from work, but I think my Monster Jam expression sums up my thoughts on this quite nicely.
