Sorry Sir'

My Mom called me. There is a program where your family can call you in Afghanistan, I signed my Mom up for it and she did it the first time this morning. It's been raining three days straight and I never have enough sleep so I went into the conversation a little sleepy. I think it was her soothing Mom voice that pushed me over the edge because I fell asleep on the phone with her while sitting at my desk. I woke up to her calling to me through the phone. As I jolted awake I said, "Oh, sorry Sir'." Which just made us both start laughing.

I'm not sure if its bad I fall asleep in the middle of conversations or if it's worse that the first thing I say is "sorry" and apparently to my boss.

Oh, and I'm going to be in Spain in 2 weeks! Woot Woot!

Woot Woot? That is funny that you called mom Sir. I once was praying out loud to my Bible Study group and called God Sir. I guess that is appropriate though.

I had a job in between my senior year and graduate year of college. I had this director who was really mean and we all disliked her. She was a girl. One day her and I are arguing (because I was the co-director so I had a little say so in things). And I got so frustrated and accidently called her sir. And it made her really angry because she thought I'd done it on purpose. Then I started laughing which made her angrier. Then I said Sir I didn't mean to call you sir it was an accident. But I did again. Again I lost it and I had to leave the room. Then I got a new job.

Ha! So, why are we waking up Joanna? Doesn't she need all the sleep she can get?

Yes but not at while on the phone. Jo DO NOT SLEEP ON THE PHONE. It may be dangerous. What if she dropped the phone into a cup of water sitting there...she could be electrocuted.

I don't think that is possible.

Let a girl rest! I'm looking at the Spain trip as 1 potentially big nap.

Tim, I bought you something at the bazaar today knowing I was goign to see you. You should be in Spain when I get there. I arrive on the 1st plus or minus a day.

You don't get it if you aren't there. . . member that black and white snow hat I got you for christmas that you loved, then "some chick stole it from you at the bar"? It would go with that if you had it. I don't know why you were wearing a hat in the bar.
