So most of know you where I work (I have to be careful not to give out too much info), well I definitely encounter ODD things all the time. Here is something that happened to me last night that I have NEVER encountered.
It begins like this:
Phone rings
I answer...Hello V. R. (initials of where I work. I would actually say the name), this is Haley
The man says "Is this the naughty confessions line?" (Okay, now I didn't know how to respond. So many of my patients have confessions to make i.e. I am going to hurt someone or myself etc.. and a part of me thought this might be a higher up at the office calling to see how we respond to patients.)
Me: Well if you need it to be, then sure.
Him: Well, today I have been extra naughty. (Caller sounds like he is 40-50 yrs.old)
Me: You have? Do you want to talk about it?
Him: Yeah, I think I need a spanking.
ME: Oh...
Him: Yeah, a real hard spanking.
ME: Sir,
Him: I've got a big, wooden paddle here. Wanna listen?
ME: Not really, Sir,
Him: Should I spank myself really, really, hard?
ME: Okay, I am not going to continue this conversation. I am hanging up.
Him: Is the Monica?
ME: No sir, this is not.
Him: OH S..., CLICK!
Okay, so in case you didn't figure it out, that was evidently someone calling a phone sex line. I have had people threaten to kill me and many other bad things, but none quite as funny as this one. After I hung up we laughed the rest of the night.

Summer Reading
As you may already know, I love to read a good book. I have noticed that when choosing a book to read, I tend to go for the ones with the cutest cover (weird, I know). Well, I have just finished 2 great books and I wanted to share. Jennifer Weiner wrote them and I really recommend her if you are looking for some easy summer reading. In Her Shoes and Little Earthquakes are so fun to read and the are easy to relate to. So...now I need another book to read and here is where I need help. If anyone has read any good "chick-lit" books please give me some recommendations! It has to be something I can relate to (women going through marriage, raising kids, working, etc.), murder mystery, short chapters, and just not a book that you have to concentrate too much on.

Yum, Yum, Yum
Okay girls, I've found my new favorite restaurant...The Loveless Cafe. It is on Hwy 100 near Bellevue and is famous for its biscuits. The lady making the biscuits has been featured on Martha Stewart! Anyhoo, they are delicious. They serve breakfast all day and have good country cooking for dinner. I recommend giving them a try.

enough already
I am so sick of hearing about Paris Hilton and her woes. It drives me crazy that money gets all the rich and famous out of their troubles. Well, sorry sista...you're going back to jail. I am so happy to hear that the judge is ordering her to finish the entire sentence. So what if she is on the verge of having a "mental breakdown." Enough of the excuses. Okay, now I am done venting. Have a great night!
LIFE COMES AT YOU FAST...
Yesterday, Len and I celebrated 10 years of marriage! I cannnot believe how fast it has gone. Our first 10 years of marriage were eventful and included things like: our first house, graduating college, having children, raising children, school, buying our second and third house, etc. We are anticipating a much calmer next 10 yesrs. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful spouse. I am so proud of what we have and who we are becoming. I know you are wondering what romantic things we did for our big day...sorry to disappoint, but we went to a sports banquet for one of his athletes at the Franklin Rec Center and then off to Wal-Mart to buy Mason some baseball pants. We did splurge and stop by Sonic to finish our date with a slush! Pure Romance!!!!
