Late June 2014

I once ended a not so good blind date by telling her that I had received a phone call while I was in the restroom. I said that my older brother and his wife had gotten into an argument, the police were called, and he had been arrested.  BTW, it was obviously a lie that my older brother had been arrested.  He didn’t even call, but it was a far better story than what some of my friends suggested that I say.  It’s never really a good idea to have a blind date when you are surrounded by about 15 of your friends.  Especially if there’s a chance that a big girl is gonna show up. Anyway, later on that night, I unsuccessfully tried to reconcile with the young lady. Lots of lessons learned that night.  Including another reason why I shouldn’t drink.

Of course the song for today has to be “Sound of Silence” by Simon and Garfunkel.  A great song.  It’s on several soundtracks of movies I enjoy and I can’t help but sing along when I hear it.  Gotta hit those harmonies.  And just typing this reminds me that my move also allowed me to be able to request a guitar.  So, hopefully I’ll be harmonizing for real someday soon. 

I am glad to report that I was the WCF library’s version of “Employee of the Month” for April.  I know.  You’re jealous.  It did make me think though.  That’s the first time I’ve ever been employee of the month.  Now I also don’t remember any where I’ve ever worked having an Employee of the Month incentive.  Either that or my work was so unimpressive that I was never in the running – therefore not made aware of the possibility of winning. I would think Subway would have had one, but I guess not..  Or maybe I hope not, since I didn’t ever win.  Anyway, I’ve won one now and nothing says accomplishment like a butterfly outlined piece of pink construction paper with my name sharpied on it.  I have arrived!

Now that I have moved I do plan on “blogging” a lot more.  Not having to deal with the stress of G Unit hopefully will free me up a little mentally.  Thanks for reading.  Thanks for staying.  Thanks for praying.
