freaky phone thing

Lately I have had the weird connection with the telephone. Last Tuesday night the phone rang.

crista:That's Taco Bell, I'll get it.

I got out to the phone looked at the caller ID and sure enough it was Taco Bell.

This morning right before noon, I was still asleep, the phone starts ringing. I think to myself, that is Target, I should get up and get that. Nah, they will leave a message I will call back when I've had enough sleep to get me through my 10 shift at work tonight.

At 2:30, when my body believes it has slept enough I walk out and check the caller ID. It was Target, I checked the voice mail and they were calling about orientation.

I called them back and I have to go to orientation Tuesday and 6pm. It will last until 9:30 pm and I have to work at Taco Bell at 10 pm, I told the guy I would probably show up in my Taco Bell uniform. He said that was okay, because it is casual dress.

Thirty minutes isn't long enough to drive the 4 miles from Target to my house, change clothes, and then drive the four miles to Taco Bell. Especially when there are 2 chances in each trip that I would get stopped by a train.

So I will have the privillage of modeling my beautiful Austin Powers Taco Bell shirt for the employees of Target.

Now for the unwork related surprise of this morning.

I got off the phone with Target and their was this weird little music playing, to me it sounded like a downloaded cell phone ringer. I'm looking all over the place, I go into Jennifer's bedroom open her curtain and see the ice cream truck drive by.

That isn't the surprise though, I walk back into the livingroom and I hear a little "meow." I look out the window and a little Merlin face is looking up at me. I have no idea how long they have been out. I think the must have been outside during the huge rain storm because they were both a little wet. At least they know where home is, and didn't get hit by some car so Jenn could find them in the street all dead.
