Interview fiascos, part 2.

One of the MANY recent car projects Doug has taken on- new shocks for the Contour.  Got to love his guy.   

If you read my recent post about the way Doug has been interviewing lately, you will appreciate this post a little more.

5:50 am the phone rings.  I don't even have to look at the caller ID.  Doug is in Georgia for an interview.  I already know it is him and I seriously can't believe he has the nerve to call me after I roasted him so good on the blog just last week.

He asks me not to be mad and says he is really sorry for waking me up again. Apparently he snoozed for 1 hour through his alarm clock (not a shocker if you have ever shared a room with him....) He was running late and dropped a contact and it absolutely could not be found.  He was driving around Atlanta with one eye open, one eye closed trying to find a pharmacy unsuccessfully and needed me to look one up for him.

The long story short is he was late for his interview. 

He learned pharmacy's don't carry generic contacts.  

He is beyond blind w/o his contacts and spent the day pretending to be normal. 

He forgot to pack black socks on top of it all.  

White ankle socks and suits always did look good. 

And I could not fall back asleep. 

Grrrr...when will interviews be over!  

(I think I am figuring out why his Mom still thanks me for marrying him.) 

it's the best time of the year

We enjoyed a really nice Thanksgiving day at the Campbell's house.  The smoked turkey was a huge hit! 

And then we dived right on into Christmas, because I could not waste another day of not being surrounded by stockings, Christmas tree, lights on the house (our first year...GO Doug!), and the music!   We are all extra happy.  I love the magic it brings!

Not surprisingly Cal's Santa letter reads very similarly the past couple Santa letters. "Der Santu I wnt u hrs set Callin"  (Dear Santa, I want a horse set.) And the picture specifies that it must be one with saddle blankets and fences please. We have loved reading our Christmas books by the tree every night and of course snuggling up to watch Rodolph the Red Nose Reindeer.  

And on another note.   Rhett's really, really great smile that I love soo much (left picture), is quite sad as of late (right pictures).  The poor guy fell in the tub and his two front teeth were pushed about half way back up into his gums and chipped pretty bad.  :(   Good thing we got family pictures when we did.  Boys...
