apple pie and farmer dan

yesterday was one of those days that takes alot out of you. and even more important, put alot into me :)

let me explain: first off, it was busy...what's new, right? i swear i cannot handle everyday ordinary stress too well anymore, my head is okay (mostly) but my BODY just whacks out. i cannot breathe well, i feel like my heart has a giant weight on it. i was just waiting on some last minute deadlines and man, you would have thought my life was on the line. silly.

plus, i was on the way to becoming cranky. of course, one thing about stress is that it usually leads you to looking at other people negatively. i was heading that way with one particular client, until the funniest thing happened!

we needed to make an addition to a flyer i was making, and needed a visual - FAST. so i got a phone number to call, to ask for help. i gotta say, at first, i was not real pleased...this was the LONGEST voice message i ever heard, i sat there tapping my finger waiting to get to the FIVE options that would direct you about how to proceed with the call.

then, the funny part. first off, this company has a spokesperson named "farmer dan" - and farmer dan is from wisconsin. his voice is awesome, even tho i am mad. i am not being wooed by his good nature until he says - NO KIDDING - if you would like to hear a message from the Word of God, the Bible, press ONE!!!!!!!! can you believe that? and by pressing one, you get a great, actually ANNOINTED message! i actually downloaded it onto my computer later, and reread it!

Finally, i got to option 5, and got the nicest lady named Debby who said to me "you know, i think maybe we have a photo that the wall street journal took of us, how about i send that to you?"

5 minutes later, a perfect shot was sitting in my inbox :)

ha ha ha.
The Word of God from Farmer Dan. you cannot ask for much more than THAT, can you? plus, i hear his pie is pretty good :)
