Telling On Myself

August 22, 2007


I have to tell on myself. I know all of you will get a good laugh out of this.

This morning I had a 9 AM appointment to get my hair cut. My truck is out of commission, (fuel pump) so I had to walk to my appointment. No big deal, the place I go to less than a mile away. So I leave. A few steps down the street and I think to my self, geeze I should have worn my sunglasses! But did I go back, nope. Two more steps -- I have to go back, I forgot Erin's cookies!! So I turn around go back in the house, get the cookies, get my sunglasses, and grab a bottle of tea for the road.

As I am walking out, I grab a sack to put everything in to make it easier to carry. Then as I am walking down the hall to the front door I hear a voice!! I think I've left the TV or radio on. I check, nope, not on. OK, my imagination. Suddenly I hear that voice again. OK, now I am convinced its someone outside. Nope, no one outside. Next I think maybe it's Robert in a service truck from the wrecker company, messing with me. All the trucks have a loudspeaker, I thought he was goofin around. Nope, not Robert.

OK gang, I am getting a little freaked out by now, thinking that possibly all the stress (and there has been a bunch recently) has finally taken it's toll and those men in the white coats need to come, put me in that snug little jacket so I can hug myself all the time, transport me to the padded cell, plunk me in, lock the door and swallow the key!!

What happens next? I hear THAT VOICE!! THAT VOICE is there, I can hear it and I cannot see anyone! Then, (here's the good part), I think it's coming from my jeans pocket. Sure enough, it's my blue tooth (cellphone earpiece) talking to me. Somehow, I managed to push the button on the silly thing and it called my sister. It will dial the last number you dialed if you hit the button and release it. So, since I didn't realize I'd called her, I was totally and completely confused (no comments from the peanut gallery, Grampy Cuz) so I put the blue tooth (earpiece) on and ask is someone there? My sister is laughing like crazy! She had heard me since I came in the house. She knew we were connected, she just didn't know my bluetooth was in my pocket. I figured I'd put it in my pocket rather than wear it on my ear, cause it's hot outside.

So there ya go, laugh for the day from your completely clueless family member!!! Have a good laugh, enjoy it, spread the joy!
