i'm famous

I haven't worked at Deaconess since July 2006

and my good friend Susanne still works there

she sent me this card in the mail.

apparently housekeeping puts one of these

in every room after it's clean :)

shouldn't I get royalties?

-

i have also heard from 2 other people they have "seen me"

around Deaconess... so maybe I am on posters and stuff.

can i make it to a billboard?

i might make people wreck and then really need to go to deaconess

so, ya know how the back of the staple gun comes off and you can reload staples?

and you know how it's on a spring?

well... i was reloading and the back didn't quite click in

and it popped out and hit my eyeball and broke my contact.

yes folks, broke it into 3 pieces...

(i have hard contacts)

luckily it didn't

a: break into my eye

b: i had the contact to protect my cornea

c: i didn't go blind

d: i didn't get a black eye.

-

i called the eye dr right away,

they ordered me a new contact and rush delivered it

and said i could come see them in 2 days.

-

i was fine, minus wearing my glasses to work

and having people make fun of me...

joys.

vday

thursday cam and i decided to go out to dinner

kinda for vday, but kinda just because.

we got these gift certificates from

this place for $1, you have to spend $35, but get $25 off

so essentially you pay $11 for a $35 meal.

anyway, we ate at: Pi

and it was cool.

we rode the lightrail there and back.

we are such city goers now :)

it was a perfect evening!

we weren't planning on matching

pomegranite mojito

not water... but i made him do this pose

riding the lightrail home :)
