We’re buying another cordless phone

Tuesdays are the new Monday. Ugh. Only a Tuesday would begin at 4:30 a.m. Yes. 4:30. When the phone rings at 4:30 I assume one of three things has happened:
1. Someone has been tragically killed
2. Someone has been stricken very ill
3. There was a fire somewhere
What I do not assume is that Brian has to handle a work problem. Oh. My. Goodness. Upon hearing the voice on the other end of the line ask for my husband I shake my husband - none too gently mind you - and hand him the phone. Now, not only am I awake, I also have this phone cord bopping me in the eye, thwacking me in the mouth, and getting tangled in my hair. Not so cool. However, in all of this I learned something important about my husband: he can talk business at any hour of the day...or night...without missing a beat. He rattled off a bunch of stuff and in spite of (or because of) my incredible sleepiness, he sounded so impressive and smart. So yes, a cordless phone is in order. That or we will just move the phone to his side of the bed.

I got the coolest magazine EVER at work today. Its called "Organize Now". I drooled - it was messy. Very few things tempt me or inspire me more than products that will organize my life. I still have warm fuzzies when I think of how beautiful my freshly organized my laundry room is.

Do any of you have bosses who give you random spelling quizzes? Palatable. Who uses that word anymore?

How about this one- paraphernalia? I have 2 students studying for a spelling bee, and I couldn't believe it was spelled like this! What is the deal with that second R? I never pronounce it like that, do you?

At least your boss can spell. Mine uses me instead of spell check. But then again,I don't think she knows it even exists.
