Randomness I deal with at work...

Well in case you didn't know my office is in South central phoenix. It's on a 3 acre lot that is also inhabited by quite a few elderly guatemalans, random dogs, at least 50 chickens and roosters, cats, horses and us 3 office workers. The owner is from guatemala and his family all lives on the property. It makes for some amazing food and ridiculous circumstances. This morning I was outside on the phone when a noticed one of the roosters had twine completely wrapped around both legs. The poor thing couldn't move. So me being the animal lover that I am spent 20 minutes trying to catch the little guy but to no avail. SO I recruited the boys in the office to help. Well 30 minutes and several scratches later we got him. Then in took 15 minutes to cut off all the twine. I never once in my life thought that is how I would spen a Wednesday morning at work. There is never a dull moment around here. I'm not sure if I love it or hate it.

3rd greatest day EVER

I wake up this morning as normal start driving to work and I'm listening to the radio. Well the guys says something about it being Friday morning and I laugh cause I know it's Thursday and think this guy is an idiot. Well it turn out Im the idiot. It is Friday. I love when that happens. It's like waking up on Saturday and thinking you have to get ready for work but then you remember that you don't have to go to work. I love it.
Now the best part of my day so far and it's only 8:45. Well if you know me at all you know that 1. I am the biggest nerd ever and that 2. I have a some what stalkerish love for Dave Pratt. Well me being the dork that I am sent him an email yesterday saying that I missed his morning show and that I wish he was still on KMLE. I know that this is probably the gayest thing to do but I don't care. It's true and my hour and half drive to work that I use to look forward to now sucks. So I send him this email and HE WROTE ME BACK!!! I know I know he writes everyone back but I never actually tried it. So here it is, my official response from The Morning Mayor Dave Pratt:


dave pratt [themayor@davepratt.net]


Thanks Lindsey. I miss you too!! HUGE HUGS! -Dave


So I know it isn't much but DAVE PRATT SAID HUGE HUGS TO ME!!! Besides the day I met my husband and my wedding day this is pretty much the coolest thing ever. I think I'm going to start a revolution to get Dave back on the air. Not that I don't like Tim and Willy but they are no where near as funny or insightful or as engaging as the Dave pratt in the morning crew. SO if you want to join me let me know. I think I'm going to take it to the capital.

Well I hope everyone has an amazing weekend and has as great of a Friday as I have had.

BAD BROAD

So while at the gas station I had an issue getting the nozzle off of the actual pump. (of course)!! So the nice gentleman next to me offered to help. Well he couldn't do it either. So finally I try one more time with all my might. And BAM..I got it. I was quite proud. And apparently was the gentleman that was there as well. His exact response was " DAMN YOU A BAD BROAD". Did I mention this man was somewhat shall I say "ethnic. So I was inclined to know what a bad broad was so here's what I've come up with.

–noun
Slang.
a.Usually Offensive. a woman.
b.a promiscuous woman.

So I don't know if it was a compliment or not....HMMMMM.....

3 retarded automobile issues

So it all started on Tuesday morning. I had to take some paperwork to a vendor in queen creek so I didnt' go straight to work. Well when I got to the office I was going to I realized they didn't open for 2 more hours. I decided to go home and wait it out. On my way back I SLAMMED into a car in front of me. I'd like to say it's not my fault. BUT.....I guess it was. It all happened so fast that all I remember is the horrid sound my car made hitting hers. Well that's not the WORST part. The lady I hit was pregnant. At least 3 ambulances a fire truck and 6 cops came. They ended up taking her as a precaution and she was fine when all was said and done. It was so ridiculous. They blocked off all the traffic and everyone stared at me. I was mortified.

Then Wednesday came along and I had driven Matt's truck to work. On my way home I ran out of gas like an idiot. So it ended up taking me 2 hours to make it to Queen Creek. Boy was that emabarrassing as well.

Today I am driving to work an I hear a pop that sound like something hit the truck. I look around and don't see anything so I keep driving. About 5 minutes later I notice the temperatur gauge is in the red. I have no idea what to do so I call Matt. He says to put the heater on full blast and that will take some of the heat away from the engine. And it is NOT heater weather here in PHX. I was sweating and ripping off layers of clothes. It was insane. So I pull up to work and ask the boys to look at it. Well I guess there is some cap that screws on where you put the oil in. That thing had blown off and there was oil EVERYWHERE. So I have NO clue if the truck is messed up bad or if it is something simple.

I'm telling you....I think it's a sign that I shouldn't been driving. I don't know but if I get hit by a train or something on my way you'll all I know why. It's some sort of Final Fanatasy craziness!!!

Oh and also...

GO CARDINALS!!!!

Life in 09

Well it seems like forever since I've blogged. So much has been happening lately I feel like today is the first day of playing catch up.

So the day after christmas Matt and I went and stayed at a beautiful resort for 4 days. It was AMAZING. We ordered room service, got massages, and played at least 50 games of rummy. We had a blast.

Then New Years Eve came. Everyone in the neighborhood was having a blast and then around 11 a scuffle broke out and the cops ended up coming TWICE. There were bloody faces, death threats and more yelling that I have ever heard. Matt and I weren't involved but I definitely learned a thing or two about trusting people.

Then the 5th Matt had his knee surgery. Everything went well and they even repaired quite a few things he didn't even know were broken. So last week I stayed home all week and played nurse. It was great to be able to spend time together and just hang out. He's recovering well and is able to put small amounts of pressure on that leg already. I knew he was going to be a super fast healer.

So my grammy came over to bring us food one day and she brought with her my childhood stuffed lion. I thought I had lost it a few years back but I guess she had to do some repairs. (like sew his leg back on). I have never been so excited. It may sound immature but that lion and I we insepreable for at least ten years. So I'm happy to say that me and Rowland Monterey are reunited.

Well it's back to life as normal and I have so much work to do to catch up it's not funny. So it's off to do it.........
