A Duo

Devin seems to think that since I wrote yesterday, I shouldn't have to write again today. Well, I will now prove him wrong! HA!!!! There's always tons of things to write about, especially when you're ME!! :) So, I have him here with me, and we are going to write things about our day just to show how much there is to say in just a 24 hour period... You start:

D: It was a wonderful day in the neighborhood of Nortel telephones. I am beginning to feel comfortable adding any type of phones to a Meridian PBX system now. By the end of next week, I'll know about adding trunks as well. No, that doesn't have anything to do with elephants, even though we are going to Africa... I'm speaking of outside phone lines. Ok, that's about as exciting as it gets. Back to you Em. :)

E: *Sigh* I have no idea what you're talking about, but it sounds super cool! :) That's because I'm married to a super cool guy! Ok, I know your day was much more exciting than that, because I called you on a cell phone a few minutes before you got to work worrying about the weight on our shipment and making you do a lot of legwork for me so that the movers didn't get mad at me for how much junk we have--no, HAD-- sitting in our den!!! Yikes!! Isn't it fun to get a phone call from your wife when she's stressed out and almost hysterical? I always seemed to think that would be a pretty fun and memorable thing.

So, yes, we had movers today. They were pretty funny guys. The head guy kept shaking his head at everything and saying "It just ain't gonna work", and the other guy just jumped right in and plowed through! Ha! Andrew kept trying to walk out the door, and I think he ate one too many oranges today!! Oooops!! Josh and Claire were extremely happy, because I let them watch yet another movie, only this time they got to watch it in Andrew's room. The reason this is such a treat is because we have Andrew's windows covered with insulation, so it's super dark in there. So, they turned off the lights, snuggled in their sleeping bags, and enjoyed a movie on the extremely minuscule screen of the portable dvd player! :) What fun! Then Matt and Thomas came over and brought fun toys with them (thank you, Jen!!!) and I think everyone had fun! The movers were in and out in about 2 hours, and we were just within our weight limit, despite the constant comment, "This just ain't gonna work" I think he was the maddest at the 6 or so trash bags full of clothes. We have too many clothes. But when I go through all the clothes, I like them all, so I don't give them away. I'm such a sucker! Oh well. I need to do better and just close my eyes and throw it in a bag!! :)

The rest of our afternoon was spent eating donuts and continuing watching movies and playing with toys. Josh discovered his long lost harmonica (or, as he calls it, his "Armica") and he and Claire took turns playing it while Andrew danced. That was hilarious! Actually, Claire didn't play it. She put it into it's box, then either shook it or blew on the box. That sort of defeated the purpose of the instrument, but she seemed to really enjoy it, so what do I know?
