This & That...My Silly Life

Sometimes when you have worked at a place for so long, you have what I call phone friendships with the customers. I have never met some of these people and only talk to them on the phone, but over all these years I feel like they are my friends...and we understand one another. It's kinda funny, but occasionally I have some awesome or eye opening conversations with them and it just cracks me up!!! Today, I was talking with one who I have several things in common with. He is a hunter like Mark and I and his wife is a control freak...much like myself, but she definitely has me topped. He was saying that his son had recently moved back home and that he leaves his shoes in the garage since that is where they take them off at the end of the day. So he explains that all these shoes are in the garage and it is driving his wife crazy, and that she had told him that she couldn't sleep because she was thinking about all those shoes sitting in the garage. Laugh if you want (I did), but I totally relate to her!!! I often lay down at night and think about the things that are not the way I want them to be at any given time. He was also telling me about how he always picks up after himself because she gets flustered when things out of place..hmm I got to thinking maybe there is still hope for Mark to get some clues on what I want him to do from time to time :) Like put his clothes in the laundry basket instead of throwing them on the floor in the closet (wink wink) So I came to the conclusion that my customers wife is a super women!!!! Everything gets cleaned up right away, nothing is out of place, and the worst mess is some extra shoes in the garage...man I want to be her! If the only mess at my house was in the garage I could definitely live with that. So I am on a mission! I often think I am too picky, too worried, too stressed, too complicated, too OCD, but now I feel better because I know I am not alone. I actually now feel that I am not GOOD ENOUGH, there's always room for improvement ;)

I don't know many people like myself, but at lest I know that I am not some type of alien. Speaking of people like myself out of all the people I know there is only 1 friend that I can relate to on several issues...MEG :) Maybe Meg will read this since she has recently started her own blog or maybe not, but either way I feel like talking about her because she is SUPER AWESOME! About a year ago our dear friend Matt started dating a girl named Megan. Who is this girl!?! Little did I know then that Meg would be one of my closest friends. Over the past year I have had some good times with Meg, she is a bundle of fun. Megan is a lot like me in many ways. we both like to vent when we have a bad day, and usually I can just send her a message and by the end of the conversation I am dying laughing! Neither of us really likes talking on the phone, we love city lunch hot dogs, we are get it done kind of people, we both have somewhat crazy and unruly men in our lives,and she is a cleaner too :) I feel like I can always talk to her and she knows what I am saying. I would have never thought we would become such good Friends, and I wouldn't trade her for the world! So check her out she recently started a blog and you can read it at
