Ugh, Leslie

Funny thing happened at work this morning. As usual, I was working so hard (funny, I know) when my phone rang. I usually don't answer my own line. For some crazy reason my company thinks that I am so busy that I need someone to answer my phones and do my admin stuff for me. She calls herself my secretary, even though that term is a tad outdated. I will refer to her as Leslie. Anyways, back to the story. So my phone rings, I don't answer it, Leslie does and then bursts into the loudest strings of laughter ever. 'Oh my goodness!! What the crap is she up to now?' is my thought, then Leslie buzzes me to tell me (still very giggly and giddy) that I have a call, without telling me who it is...one of my biggest workplace/'secretary' peeves. So with a trace of annoyance in my voice I thank her and pick up the line. To my delight, it was my brother Chase! Apparently when he called he assumed that I would be the one answer the phone. His response to '___(my company name), this is Leslie.' was 'Well, Good morning Beautiful!' This is what sent Leslie into a giggling mess. Chase just heard a female voice and expected it to be me. When he realized his error he asked Leslie not tell me what he had done, which she of course did as soon as I hung up with him! She then asked to tell me to inform my brother that she is single and looking. Okay, she is 47 and my brother is 20...she is so weird!

Chase

My little, big brother Chase. For several years now he has towered over me, but he is still my little brother. He keeps saying that he wants to come up and visit us, but nothing yet. Come see us Chase...we miss you! Today he turns twenty years old...twenty! I cannot believe that he is that old. It is so strange to thing of him as a man becasue I have such vivid memories of him as a toddler, and now he is a grown up...wow! He is such a loving, caring person with an amazing heart and I am so blessed to have him in my life. It would just be better if I could see him more often (hint, hint Chase...come see us). Happy Birthday little brother!
