Well, hi everyone. This may take me alot more time that I am willing to give it, but I will give it the "OL' COLLEGE TRY".
I have a couple of funny phone stories to share with everyone. I work for "Worldmark" in the marketing department. We get all kinds on the phone. I had an interesting call this last week. The person's first name was Waltrout, yes no typo here. Waltrout. I looked at the name and, after consulting my co-worker, decided to ask for Walt just to be safe. A lady answered the phone and I asked politely if Walt was at home. In a very think German accent she replied, "Ve haf no Valt here!" Then I asked, "Is there a Waltrout there?" My co-worker started to snicker. This time she replied, "Jes, ve haf a Valtrout", then she suddenly said to someone else, "Either put your pants on or put that blanket around yourself!"
By this point I was bordering on laughter myself. My cop-worker was laughing, and everything seemed to go downhill from there. Now she was back to me. I asked if I could please speak to Waltrout, and she said,"Ya, I am she." By this time my co-worker had to get up and run from the room in fits of laughter. I was sputtering from my nose and trying my hardest not to burst out laughing. I don't know how I pitched her about coming in to the presentation, but I did. Needless to say she did not desire to attend. It took us all several minutes before we could get back on the phone.

This is a GREAT story... I am still laughing (and probably will be by the time you read this)! You could probably fill up your blog with just phone stories and it would still be awesome! Yay for Janie's hip blogging grandparents!
Congrats on starting the blog. Now you're ahead of ME technology-wise (not that that was incredibly hard). Keep the good stories coming.
Ok. Apology in advance: I'm really sorry if this offends anyone, but, here goes...

I love you all. The English major in me couldn't be silenced. I'm sorry.
