How to Handle Middle of the Night Wrong Numbers

My husband and I got a call on his cell phone in the middle of the night the other night. Some probably drunk guy asking for Jill. Very insistent that he had the right number.

So insistent that he called back, twice. Not something that is greatly appreciated after 3 in the morning.

My husband was telling me that he thought he should have just told the guy that clearly “Jill” had dissed him. But I like my answer better.

I told him he should have turned to me, and said it so the guy could hear it:

“Hey, your name Jill?”

I think we could have played that one up a little, if we’d just been awake enough.

Got a Song Stuck in My Head

Not just any song… a parody! I keep trying to think up words for it, and it’s been going on for days.

Some ways it’s worse than having a regular song stuck in my head. Trying to come up with new words or remember the regular ones so that I can come up with new words is really, really distracting.

I have no idea if I’m going to finish it or not. I think I’m just going to have to write out what I have so far, see if that helps to banish the song.

No, not going to share it yet. And definitely don’t expect me to sing it on tape for YouTube or anything. I really doubt I’m that brave… crazy… stupid… self obsessed, or whatever else you want to call it. But if I like how it comes out, I might post the words.

I’ll Post More, I Promise!

Been sick the past couple weeks. Started with my kids getting sick with the flu, then I got sick, and finally ended up with a sinus infection. These things have a way of making it really hard to blog, and I’m only now getting back on track.
