I have a bruised finger and my lip is a little sensitive. And I know you are going to ask why, because I know you care. Hollie and her friend came over to get the futon. I forgot how heavy and awkward it was. D and I had to turn it on its side, shimmy it through the front door and then try to get it into Hollie’s Suburban. Hollie had a hell of a time getting all of her seats down (read the instructions next time woman!!) but we finally managed and were able to get the futon and the mattress in. It was a comical scene, truly. But while pulling the futon into the Suburban, my finger got caught. It hurts us, precious. And then as D and I walked out the door with it, the foot snagged on the door jam and my lip smashed into it. Ouch. I am the kind of friend that bleeds (and smooshes fingers ) for others. I deserve a pat on the back! :) Just kidding.

And……. that is why I hate being short, by the way. D and I are totally not in sync when it comes to carrying things. And I am too chicken shit to wear my platform shoes because I am painfully clumsy. Gah!

And now, a list for Hollie (hehehe).

  • Sometimes, people surprise me with their generosity and frank observations.
  • I think its best to be thankful for what I’ve experienced here rather than to remain bitter about the conflicts.
  • I think, in spite of it all, that I’ve grown at as a person due to my job and I will take away the best of those experiences and I hope that people I worked learned a little something from me, even if it’s just how to unjam the copier or install printer drivers.
  • I’ve learned a lot from them…
