I remember writing a post a year ago after attending a retreat with our church…another good one this year. Discussed our response to suffering (both our own and the suffering around us), the love God has for the city, and the need to come humbly before God’s word. Good time meeting new friends too.
We got home around 2:30 today, and as we were exiting the elevator at our apartment, I leaned over the give Veronica a little peck on the cheek. She didn’t see me and kept walking, and meanwhile, the doors opened and one of our neighbors was standing there waiting to get in the elevator. Basically, I missed and looked pretty funny. Had to be there.
We decided to check out Staples afterwards for a desk. Actually found one we liked, and as we tried to check out, the Staples guys were having a little trouble figuring it out…Veronica ended up finding the item in the catalog, getting us a $10 price adjustment, typing in our order in the computer, finding a coupon code for a free chair…(one of the guys said, “wow, she types fast”…uhhh, yeah). Better watch out for those jobs, Staples guys.
After this little display of talent, Veronica proceeded to speed into a rotary and give me a minor heart attack. Sigh.
