Thursday strikes again

Here it is another Thursday just about wrapped up. The day was full of surprises. Projects that had been on the front burner were put on the back burner and set to simmer. Lots to do, but there are only so many hours in a day.

I took lunch today to come back to the apartment to go over needed repairs with the apartment manager. Here's to hoping that the meeting will actually get them moving in the right direction. I'm not really counting on it though.

Brian & I worked on shipping books out today. It was a mini-marathon, but we got out 42 packages in less than 2 hours. That included delivering them to the post office.

As you can tell by the photos there were a lot of boxes. We were able to get them all in the trunk of the Camry, amazingly. The stack looks so much larger in the bin at the post office.

Learning to Listen
Little Johnny watched his daddy's car pass by the school playground and go into the woods. Curious, he followed the car and saw Daddy and Aunt Jane in a passionate embrace.

Little Johnny found this so exciting that he could hardly contain himself as he ran home and started to tell his mother. 'Mommy, I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, and then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane...'

At this point Mommy cut him off and said, 'Johnny, this is such an interesting story, suppose you save the rest of it for supper time. I want to see the look on Daddy's face when you tell it tonight.'

At the dinner table that evening, Mommy asked little Johnny to tell his story. Johnny started his story, 'I was at the playground and I saw Daddy's car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing that Mommy and Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was in the Army.'

Mommy fainted!

Moral: Sometimes you need to listen to the whole story before you interrupt!
