Tee-hee

What a fun day! This morning was our first music therapy group with kiddos at the speech and hearing center. I didn't actually participate today because Dr G was absent. Still, it was fun to watch the other part of our gang play. We have a 20-month-old boy, a 2 year old girl and a 3 year old boy; all have either a CI or a hearing aid. They are sooooo cute. I was a little jealous that I didn't get to play, but I got to make fun comments with the SLPs in the observation room. It makes me smile to think about that 30 minutes of today.
This afternoon was sooo slow. Alyssa and I ate lunch outside and soaked up some Vitamin E as well as split-pea soup, my first time trying it, which I'm guessing had other yummy vitamins. Afterwards, though, it was really hard to get anything done, mostly because we were so productive this morning that there was little else needing attention. So we looked at Alyssa's pictures from her Appalachian trail hike last week and my pictures of 2bit's wedding. An hour later, we tried again to be productive, but to no avail. We then imbibed in cookies (if you can imbibe in cookies) to celebrate the last day of one of the students...mmmm, cookies. The funniest part of the day came when I went to mail my orientation evaluation. It was a rather interesting survey; one in which I included the need for either treats earlier in the morning (not 10:30) and/or a better breakfast (i.e., a full, yummy one like everyone else mentioned before my orientation).
Anyway, on the way back to my office, I bumped into a girl one of my friends has been quasi-interested in for some time. (He and I eat lunch together almost daily because we seem to be hungry at about the same time and haven't really fit into another lunch group in our department.) We call her "Beetlejuice" because every time we talk about her (or mention her name 3 times), she calls him. While trying to make polite chit-chat with Beetlejuice, she pointed out what I thought was my "Financial education" pamphlet I had just received in my campus box saying "oh, is that new?". Only it wasn't the pamphlet, she was pointing out my wedding and engagement rings. Almost immediately, I could see the wheels turning and I knew what she was thinking. So I proceeded to tell her that I have been married for almost three years. She followed with "huh, I never noticed." So I tried to give her an excuse like, "well, I don't always wear my engagement ring because the stone isn't set right. "Yeah, maybe that's it" she replied and very quickly indicated that she had to go. Thus, the end of our conversation...
Needless to say, I speed-walked back to my office and emailed this dear friend, letting him know what had transpired. My last sentence was "I think she thought I was making a play for you." He returned the timely notice by coming over to my office IMMEDIATELY and we both did our evil, you-gotta-be-kidding-me laughs and then went home...what a day. Betcha he gets a call tonight.
peace & love
