Oh, Land Line

So, I got a home phone. You may have received an email from me with the phone number. In that email, I said that you could call me and be a heavy breather and I'd never know who it was because I don't have caller ID and that I'd be excited every time the phone rang.

Well, the phone rang for the first time last night. I don't think I could have been more excited. I actually jumped up and pretty much screamed "HELLO!?!?!?!" into the phone, but it was a telemarketer. And worse yet, it was a wrong number telemarketer. I talked to them anyways though. And then I kindly informed them that my number is on the do not call list and if they call again, I will report them to the FCC.

So then it rang again. I was a little suspicious since I had just gotten a telemarketer. But it was someone heavy breathing! I have no idea who it was, but suffice it to say, I spent most of the night accusing people of calling me and breathing heavily. So far, you have not stepped forward. I respect that, but I will eventually figure out who you are.

And then the phone rang AGAIN. I was so excited that time that I dropped the phone onto my plant and then it hit my computer...and then I was able to pick it up and say hello and control myself a bit more.

New things are fun!

Suit Up!

So, when I'm saying that law school is keeping me busy, I don't mean that in a casual "I'm re-arranging the order of my Entertainment Weeklys" kind of way. I mean that in a "I GUESS I can make time to eat dinner tonight." (Note - I'm having donut holes for dinner tonight. Someone please adopt me.)

But, there is something to be excited about - I get to suit up tomorrow! We're expected to dress professionally for our mock client interviews tomorrow evening. So, I went to JCPenney's bright and early yesterday and bought my first suit. Yes, my first suit is from Penney's. And yes, I did save $120, so stop judging me, Ann Taylor.

My wonderful sister leaves for Mozambique early on Sunday morning, so the whole fam (including the dog, Kirby) is coming up to Minneapolis for her departure. They're staying at a hotel, with the exception of Kirby, who is staying with me. I feel like I should go buy him some dog snacks or something for his stay here. But I'm sure my mom will pack those in his overnight bag.

Anyways, back to Erin leaving for Mozambique - I know that she has put a lot of work into this and she's super excited about it. And we're all super excited about it! It's such a great opportunity to go out there and do some real good - so, needless to say, I'm incredibly proud of her. And I know my parents are proud of her (because they told me - but my mom did follow it up with the compliment-fishing comment of "I wonder what we did so right...." and then looked to me for an answer, which I did.)
