You know, I don't ask for much.

I just walked through the cold wet rain to the bank and the post office, because those errands needed to be run. I'm not complaining.

I get talked down to by certain parishioners because nobody thinks to inform me of things that I really need to know, but I don't know that I need to know them so I don't think to ask, and then I look dumb because I can't do my job properly due to ignorance. I'm not complaining.

The day care kids are noisy and the teachers continually forget to close the office doors. I'm not complaining.

I'm only here six hours a day, so I'm not entitled to an actual "lunch break," I guess, and I eat at my desk so I can continue working while I ingest. I'm not complaining.

But is it so much to ask that I be left alone for fifteen minutes, with no phone calls or office visitors, so that I can eat my lunch while it's still hot?

....I'm taking a nap. Back later. Call if it's urgent.

My husband came home and told me not to plan anything for the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

Laura: Why?
Kevin: Just save the date.
Laura: Why?
Kevin: *makes a sing-songy humming sound which means "I know something you don't know"*
Laura: Oooh....*starts trying to figure out the secret*
Kevin: *just laughs*
Laura: Does it have something to do with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire?
Kevin: No.
Laura: Hrm. Are we going somewhere, or is someone coming here?
Kevin: No one is coming here.
Laura: So we're going somewhere. *sits down to start thinking* That's the Sunday after Thanksgiving... the first Sunday in Advent... no birthdays... no anniversaries... what could it be?
Kevin: *watches television and leaves her to her plottage*
Laura: Wait. Sunday? Going somewhere on a Sunday that late in the year? Is TSO touring?
Kevin: Hmmmmmmmmmm.....maybe.
Laura: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

So yes, it looks like for the fourth time in five years, my Christmas present from my husband will be floor seat tickets to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
