yellowducky's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Firemen and Elves First, I have to tell everyone about last sunday. I found the perfect way to spend the afternoon after church. After services I was standing around, talking to my friends (ok, ok, I was standing around flirting). Anyway, a friend came up to me and told me we needed to evacuate the building and the firemen were on their way. I honestly thought he was joking. So I laughed at him. He was serious. There was a natural gas leak and they sent four fire trucks and two HazMet vans. They also sent a slew of gorgeous firemen. I spent the next two hours ogling. And drooling. Of course, the guys weren't as excited as the girls were, because they are used to having our undivided attention on Sundays. Guy: ".....yackity yackity yackity" Me: (seeing a man carry an ax) "Hold on one second," (watch until he enters the building) "uh, sorry. You were saying?" Poor babies. The shelter is all decorated and full of holiday cheer. Little packages keep showing up on my desk. The kids decorated the tree in the lounge. People keep calling to donate gifts. Staff keep sneaking into room 309 to wrap gifts for the clients. I feel just like one of Santa's elves. I think this is going to be one of my all-time favorite Christmases, even if I won't be with my family 2:07 p.m. - December 19, 2001 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
