It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I'm totally swamped today, but I need to list off a couple interesting tid bits. Firs off, there is this little dead end street I drive up every morning that my work parking lot is on, then I park in my spot, and if I make it to work early, I take a little snooze in my car. Not the most sane neighboorhood to do this in, but oh well. So, this morning nothing different...that I notice. I sleep for about 10-15 minutes in the car, my cell phone alarm goes off at 7:50am and I walk up to the clinic and meet Colleen and we go in together. Then about 7:35 the girls start coming in and I find out that a man was found lying dead at the end of the street we park off of two self-inflicted gun shot wounds. Found by our peds reception guy, David. Hmmm. Interesting.

Yesterday, I'm walking by Val's desk and she says, "Rach, you guys are really missing out on the new Carl's Jr. kids meal toys!" as she hands me this cool looking little yellow and silver metal flashlight. I fall for it, take it from her, push the on switch and get the shock of my day...Literally! It is a prank flashlight that sends a jolt through you when you try to turn it on. I screamed, it when hurtleing to the floor with enough force to break it, and I started slapping Val on the wrist as she and everyone else is busting out laughing. It was hysterical. We joked about it the rest of the day and still today.

Four years ago when I started working here, on a whim, I turned the bathroom light fixture cover upside down, decided I liked the ambience better, left the bathroom, and forgot about it. For some reason Monday morning I went in the bathroom and noticed it was still this way, so I turned it back around. Yes, four years later. It completely changes the lighting effect in the bathroom, and I'd just been waiting to hear about it. I guess people have been noticing for the last couple days the difference, but not quite sure what that difference it. Hysterical! Then Barb finally mentions it out loud and they all agree. I had told Carrie what I had done, and she gave me up. Here is the email I got from Barb this morning:


"Sooooooooo, it was YOU who "darkened" the bathroom. All day Karina and I each thought it was "just me" and were trying to figure out why the bathroom was dark. Perhaps someone installed a bug light??!!
Was it the electric shock Val gave you?? :)

Too funny.

Word(s) of the day: PATELLA

Lexie log: I'm really looking forward to her party, I hope the weather is ok. It supposed to be freezing rain tonight, but I'm hopeful for Friday. She ran around last night, after an entire year of begging for her birthday party, saying that she wasn't going to have one because she is a power ranger. She's a funny bird.

Today I'm grateful for Frank and Lexie, Mom and Dad, online banking, snowflakes that melt on my nose and eyelashes, water, food, sleep, coffee, laughter, and life.
