Another Rob First

When Sheila and I got married she was excited to do her Christmas cards. Maybe it was the excitement of getting to write her new name or not, either way she really enjoyed it. She spent days getting them all ready to be mailed. My job was to take the cards to the post office. One would think that is a simple task, however keep in mind who my beloved wife entrusted with this great honor. ME! I took the stack of neatly prepared cards and off I went. On my way I decided to swing by office depot to take a look around. Upon my arrival I remembered Sheila's Golden rule about leaving mail in plain site in an automobile, It seems that it is a no no. The quick thinker that I am grabbed the stack of cards and shoved them under my drivers seat. Off to shop I went. Never again to think twice about the cards I put under the seat. Sheila also neglected to ask me if I had in fact accomplished the mission in which I was given. Now lets turn the clock forward to May of the following year. I am out on probably another Sheila assignment, when this guy pulls out in front of me. Can you guess what came flying out from under my seat? Yep that stack of forgotten Christmas cards. I did what most people would not have done. Ran to the post office and mailed those cards out right then. A few weeks later Sheila said can you believe that so and so just got their Christmas card? I acted in disbelief. I finally confessed to my fiasco about 2 years ago. I don't think she believed me at first, but I think that reality set in and she finally realised that in deed this is one of the things that make me, ME.

Having said all that I made up for that this year. Today (11-30-2007) I gave out my Christmas cards at work. Even I surprise myself from time to time. Tomorrow is December 1st. I can not believe how this year has flown by.

Blessings till I post again.
