Huh. Now I’m thinking about dill body scrub, dill facials, dill-scented lotion… mmm… dill dip…

Our DVR thingie requires the phone line be plugged in, so when we get phone calls it pops up on our TV. Plus we have a talking phone (I don’t know why, but we do), so the phone itself announces the caller. It’s phone TMI, because I usually let it rollover to the answering machine. If you *really* know me, you’ve got my cell phone number, you know?

Oh, and in college I had a job at a mail sorting center in Des Moines opening Gevalia coffee returns. I’m sure it wasn’t as interesting as a phone job, but I had the benefit of being able to spend my whole shift with headphones on listening to Iowa public radio. Good times…

Hey! Cute picture with Bossy! She is so tall and slim I think I might have to smother her.

I was just telling mom yesterday that they should get caller ID. Their phones have the windows, dad is just too cheap to pay for it. Instead, everytime the phone rings he says something like, “Do you think that’s your sister Xxxx?” or “Now, who do you think that is?”

She said she doesn’t want to take all the excitement out of an 87 yo man’s life.

Happy Birthday?

And I hate the phone, too (quoth the former reporter who had to interview people over it). Ugh.

Actually, based on your sentence structure, I now think that YOU are a pile of steaming potatoes covered in dill. This, of course, makes that fact that you can type words and answer phones and have children a miracle of science. You should be studied.

You just reminded me of one phone job I had (I sold circus tickets!) where I had to sit next to a guy who constantly made cigar jokes while smoking a cigar, rode a unicycle to work, and insisted on showing me his Private Investigator’s license at least once a week. Good times!

I have a phone phobia and I LIVE for caller ID. It’s the best invention ever. And my kids love to run to the phone to tell me whom (who?) I am ignoring. Have a very happy birthday. And make sure to brush the dill out of your hair! :)
