What the...


Tonight as I drove home from Mindy's new apartment (which is soooo nice, by the way) I was nearing home when I looked to the side of the road and saw.... OHMYGOSH!...

..AN ARMADILLO CHEWING ON A BRIGHT ORANGE STICK!!!!!..

Or wait... no. No, I was wrong. It was actually...

..A sand bag sitting on a knocked-down construction sign.

Hmm.

I didn't think we had many armadillo around here.

So, I'm not the only one who has trouble seeing things clearly.

I woke up yesterday at 8:48 in a panic because I had set the alarm for 6:15 and told Katie I would make sure she was up when I got up. She had to work at 7:00.

The alarm went off, and Terry turned it off without either of us getting up. Then, suddenly I looked at the clock in disbelief because it said 8:48.

I went to her room and fortunately, Katie had left for work. I went online for a few minutes, had trouble seeing things, so put on my glasses and lo and behold, the clock on the computer said 6:48!

I guess that without glasses the 6 on the alarm clock looks like an 8. Go figure.

I haven't ever seen any armadillos on the road, however.

Without my glasses on, when I lived in India, every small object looked like a cockroach.

When I was like 3 I woke up in the middle of the night convinced there was a man playing the trumpet in our kitchen. Turns out it was the refrigerator dying. Yeah!!!

Ask Jeanne about the "bald eagle" she saw on 106th street :)
