Happy Valentine's Day! Dewayne finally gets to come home tonight, but it won't be for a while. They have been in Ft. Stockton working all week and had to stay there every night. We had originally set a $20 limit for Valentine's day, just kinda relaxed and not a big deal. Dewayne came home Monday with a half carat diamond bracelet. He so went over his limit. I was frustrated because all I did for him was a card, a giant Recees heart, and I made him a cherry pie because it is his favorite. Then I was going to make him crab legs for dinner. Anyway, I told mom how sad I was that he got me a diamond bracelet and all I got him was a cherry pie. :(

I get some strange phone calls at work. I think we might be listed as a phone service somewhere. People are CONSTANTLY calling asking me to give them the number and/or address to somewhere. People who call and ask for nonprofits info is totally understandable. It’s in our database. But I had someone call and ask for the phone and addy to the Social Security office in Odessa. SERIOUSLY? Just yesterday a lady called and asked, "Is this so-and-so’s office?" I said, “No.” She said, “Oh, can you look up the right number? They are at 1400 N. Main.” *eye roll* Then we get the oh-so-nice people! Like the lady that just called and said she needed to be connected to someone who could give her information about her account. Here’s what went down.

Me: “What kind of account?”
Her: “My checking account.”
Me: “Ma’am, are you trying to reach the Permian Basin Area Foundation?”
Her: “Look I just need to talk to someone about my account. I need some information.”
Me: “Ma’am, we’re not a bank.”
Her: “I want to talk to someone about my account.”
Me: “We are not a bank, this is a nonprofit organization: The Permian Basin Area Foundation.”
Her: ………very long pause……………click.

It is SO hard to be patient with people like that and she was so rude and attitudy the WHOLE TIME! But I guess I got in the wrong profession if I didn’t want to always be nice!

Hmmm... maybe THIS is what blogs are for...!

Just wanted to post a picture of Shelbie and Spike I got tonight. A tad blurry but I will take it! He is on the left and she is on the right. Her belly is getting so fat! Maybe she will let me take a picture of it later!

Well, my last post was on Jan. 29 and today is Feb. 4th. I still have absolutely nothing to write about except I got an 85 on my first test since I started back to school! I told Dewayne he needed to blog and all I got was a. "Hmm." I am sad to report after having a massage appointment for a MONTH, mom, Stacy and I did not get to go get them. One of the therapists had a family emergency. I was going to just cancel mine and get it some other time, but mom and Stacy insisted they go with me. I got a sweet picture of our Sugar bear but Shelbie and Spike are not quite that cooperative yet.


Maybe this blog thing isn't so hard. I could just blab for hours!
