<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I know how much you all enjoy it when I tell you all the stupid things I've done, so I had to share a couple of recent events:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. Last year, I bought a pair of really comfortable black sandals, just loved them. Come warm weather, I can only find the LEFT one. Very disappointed, I buy a new pair....and the left one pinches like the dickens. I wear them a couple of times, always thinking about how comfortable the other pair was and how I really don't like the new ones. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Last week, I get dressed in a hurry and get to work. Later in the morning, when I'm sitting in a position that allows me to focus on my feet (guess where), I look down and see that I have on the left shoe of my OLD COMFORTABLE sandals and the right shoe of my new pair. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hey, it was early and the closet floor is dark. At least give me credit for at least wearing the same COLOR on both feet. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. Many of you met my long-suffering husband, Gene Dew, at the Spring 04 conference in Tulsa. The man is a SAINT and/or INSANE. A lot of people think it's weird that we only have one car, but we've worked at the same place for so long that it really works fine for us. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">His office moved off campus two years ago, so usually he drops me off at work and picks me up in the evening. Everybody in our office griped about how bad the parking is when our office moved, but not me....I have the best chauffeur service in town. He always calls before he leaves his office to tell me he is on his way. Yesterday, I dropped him off because I had to go to a dentist's appointment (yes, I fell asleep in the chair again and SNORED). </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The afternoon wears on and it approaches 5, 5:15....and no call from him to tell me he's on his way. Sometimes he forgets to call and I look out the window to see if he's sitting downstairs---no. I keep working and pretty soon, it's 5:55 and the phone rings---caller ID shows it is him. I think "poor guy, he got stuck doing something and is just now getting to leave". I pick up the phone, say hello and it immediately hits me. The next words out of my mouth are "Holy s--t! I'VE got the car." He just laughs and laughs. Like I said...he's a saint. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">That's my humiliating report on my week, OASFAA. Hope you have a good weekend! </FONT>
