So, I just noticed that it has been a while since I updated this post. Man. So much has happened since then.
But I digress. You must be wondering what "Rejoice!!!" is supposed to mean, and that's the point of this post: I Got A Job!!!
Granted, it's kind of my old job back again, but still... ! Here's the story: my old boss called me up and said he was in a pickle; the guy who is working at the help desk (which is not where I worked before, but it's and extension of my "department") right now is going to BYU and my boss needed someone to take his place... so he called me up. And I accepted. Hooray!!! I can stay on at the help desk when fall semester starts, or I can go back to being a computer lab assistant if I want. (Which is probably what I want. I dunno.)
Yeah, that's my "rejoice." Oh, and sooner or later I'm gonna put up a slideshow of our recent camping trip, but that's going to have to wait until I have hi-speed internet to use.
Laters!

Kind of Sad, But Really Funny Story
Here we go:
You know how in those cartoon movies someone will start vacuuming and they'll end up sucking something up that shouldn't be sucked? It's, like, a cartoon law (right up there with "don't-fall-until-you-look-down"). But has that ever happened to YOU?
Well, it's happened to me.
I was vacuuming my floor yesterday, and not really paying attention. I had left two small socks on the floor in front of my dresser, and I didn't feel like bending down to pick them up so I decided that I could just push them out of the way with the vacuum. "They're not small enough to get sucked up, right?" Wrong-o!
The next thing I knew, one of the socks was whisked out of sight with an odd shvloorckt and the vacuum started making an unhealthy noise. I think it was choking. I immediately turned it off and laid it on the floor so that I could try to get the sock out. Except that the sock wasn't visible like I thought it would be.
It turns out that the sock got sucked UP THE TUBE and it proved very difficult to get out. Luckily, Dad was home (with a cold, which is not so lucky), and with his help we managed to get that sock outta there. (It involved using an old broom handle and much struggling.) It was wrapped up in this tiny, compact little ball, and it was absolutely filthy. That poor little sock.
In other, unrelated news: I got to help Carrie tend Eldon and another little boy the other day. It was fun. Ask me about it later. :)
