Serendipity Saturday
Here’s some randomness on Serendipity Saturday. Nothing relates or really makes sense. Sort of like real life.
You will recall my progeny dissing my 20+-year-old lipstick last year. Today Rachel bought me a new lipstick, a gift which I accepted because my treasured lipstick case finally broke. So I will be utterly gorgeous at church tomorrow. Don’t sit near us – I’ll be such a vision of loveliness, your thoughts will not dwell on spiritual matters.
Goodbye, old friend. (sniff)
Rachel went to get this new lipstick in her Focus. Which wooks a widdle Lagomorpha-like.
Ummmm….what’s up, Doc?
Our church’s Women’s Ministry hosted its annual Spring Fling last night with a 50′s theme. Hannah went with me to help take pictures. But not this one.
Why Keith handles Driver’s Ed
Rachel worked childcare (Parent’s Night Out), accompanied by her favorite assistant. I offered to take Julia home with Hannah and me when our dinner finished at 9 p.m. Nope. She wanted to stay with Rachel until closing at 11 p.m. I know where I rank.
Keith and I have been checking online today, trying to get a sense for how the strike talks are going. Or not. In 1983 in Houston, we had a three-week strike, followed by Hurricane Alicia, followed by a major late-September flood….all in the midst of pre-Divestiture tasks. I worked every day from August 7 through mid-January, with two days off: Thanksgiving and Christmas. If they strike this time, Keith will be working 12 x 6, but, at least at the moment, I won’t have to do so. And I am thankful.
In 1983, I worked six days a week in my Comptrollers unit, then Sundays in Directory Assistance (DA). This might be an ear piece I…ummm….”borrowed” from DA. It just might be in my scrapbook, with a notation of my average call handle time of 32.8 seconds. Eleven-year-old Sarah and her best friend Eileen spent one Sunday afternoon calling 1411 and asking for “Aunt Becky”, to the tune of $100 worth of DA charges (400 calls.)
Donnette, Gaye, Kim and me (front)….when we were still energetic enough to work 12 x 7.
Settle….settle….settle……
