On my way home, I called my husband to see if he wanted me to pick him up something to eat. He thought that was a great idea, so I swung through a drive thru.
A woman took my order over the speaker and when I approached the ~first~ window to pay, a man stood before me telling me my total.
Now, quite obviously I knew he wasn't the one who took my order, but I said anyways, "Wow! You sure sound different over the speaker!"
And instead of laughing, he became very concerned. "Oh! That wasn't me!! It was HER!" And he leans out the window to point to the woman standing at the ~second~ drive up window.
I chuckled and despite my obvious joke, I explained it to him anyways. "Yes, I know that wasn't you - I was just kidding."
He is still worried apparently by looking at his face.
Then my little one starts laughing out loud really obnoxiously. She's at the age where she loves to hear her own voice, and she had picked up on me joking around, so when I laugh - she laughs.
The man looks at my daughter and then looks at me and says, "So, is SHE laughing at ME too!?!" He said this seriously.
Again, I explain the situation. "No, I was joking earlier, and she just likes to laugh when anyone else laughs...she's not laughing AT you."
Goodness!
We went for coffee this evening and a nice, little drive. The sunset was gorgeous and I caught a few pictures of it. I couldn't decide which one I liked best, and my husband wasn't any help in deciding either so I put my three favorites up.

Ugh, some people! Don't they know life will not be fun unless you make it fun. Hrmf!
GREAT pictures! How pretty! I think you are about to inspire me to take up photography. Oh wait, I need time for that don't I? Oh well. Maybe eventually.
Also, hehe, snowflakes! Love them!
I would have told him, "Lighten up, Francis". Ha! The sunset shots are great!!! Not very Christmasy though!!! It must be weird to be out in the warmth there..do you miss the cold?
~L.
In truth, I don't miss the cold. I mean, it does get cold where I'm at. I've been turning the heat on - but it doesn't get COLD COLD. I definately don't miss the cold cold cooollldddd temperatures. I anticipate missing snow. But skiing and snow is a 30 minute drive away if I want it bad enough.
My husband and I keep giggling when we leave the house these days in flip-flops. I mean, flip-flops at the end of November....ha!
In Hawai'i we call flip-flops slippers, or more properly (aka pidgeon) slippahs!
Nice change in latitude from Chicago!
