Hoping to make you smile…
July 6, 2009
So I will hopefully be posting some New Kids photos soon, but until that project, here is what my today looked like, and I’m hoping to make you smile…
So we get day old Panera bread donated at the shelter, and the women like to feed the squirrels in the backyard. Today as I was leaving to take a client to one of her appointments, a squirrel grabbed a WHOLE bagel and took off. It was very cute. I grabbed my camera as quickly as I could and this is what I came up with:
They get fatter as the summer goes on.
Story two…
So Cody and I bought a weight system, and I started putting it together last night. I got most of the main metal pieces together and I was going to do all the cables today.
So I started with the first cable, and then came along this stupid bolt…
I just wanted it a LITTLE bit tighter! Well the ratchet slipped, and the damn thing hit me in the face. And this is what resulted…
A nice black eye. I’m super excited to go to work tomorrow and tell everyone I did this to myself.
So Cody saw these pictures, and started making fun of my somber face (I was actually just not making an expression on purpose), so I decided to take a really happy one.
It just doesn’t seem right to smile in a picture with a black eye, so I decided to make a sad face…and then I was laughing so hard from before I couldn’t handle it and I cracked a smile right before the photo snapped, and this happened:
And when I saw it I started laughing so hard (because I am making such horrendous face) that I started to cry.
So I thought, “Here’s my shot to make a REALLY sad face with REAL tears!”
And that’s what I came up with.
Hopefully that made you smile at some point. I feel like a moron. But I thought all of you might want to laugh at my expense.

Guess what Brody did to himself today? He slipped in the tub…
So, since most things in my life come in threes, who’s next?

Oh Nan…Poor girl! I love your outlook on life. I probably would have just been pissed, but you found humor in a black eye of all things. And yes, I have to admit that I did chuckle as I read the story.

Two things…first, would the Panera people really be excited to find out that the bread they are so graciously donating is going to the squirrels???? I mean I love a fat happy squirrel as much as the next girl, but that’s kinda funny. And second, going to work, where YOU work, with a black eye is especially odd wouldn’t you say?? You are hilarious Nan…thanks for the grins.

In the women’s defense, we normally receive A LOT of bread, I normally take some home, so do the other advocates, and there is still A LOT left over. Sometimes we get 3 boxes, BIG boxes. It’s great bread, but sometimes there’s just too much, so I’m just happy someone little creature can enjoy it. They leave a little water bowl out too. It’s just cute…

Sorry about your poor eye! I hope you heal well.
