Hello?

I wish someone was home with me today. They would have gotten a good laugh. I left the house earlier today to head to the grocery store. When I got out to the car I realized I didn't have my cell phone so I went back inside the house to get it. I thought it was in the kitchen but it wasn't. Then I looked in the living room, laundry room, upstairs etc. I finally decided to be smart and just call my cell phone from our home phone. I did and I obviously could hear my phone ringing. It sounded like it was laying on the counter beside me, but I didn't see it. I turned around in a circle to check the couch behind me and the stools to the left of me. I expected to look right down and see it. I started to walk around a little bit to see if my direction made the ringing louder or softer. The conclusion to this is so ridiculously obvious. I walked just to the right of me to look in the bathroom. It actually sounded to me like it was louder the closer I got to the wall!(?) It then occurred to me that it was coming from my purse that was slung over my shoulder. And to top it all...... I walked back out to the car only to find that I had left the car door open.

News Reel

Hey! This blog needs to be reactivated! Here is the latest, yet uneventful, update on the Calders.
