the long awaited africa videos

so, i know that while in africa in january, i definitely slacked on getting everyone pictures of my experiences... and for that i am truly sorry.

here are some videos that i hope make up for a little bit of how badly i dropped the ball on the picture front.

video 1: "it's all about the wee ones"

video 2: "fun times with the kenya krew"

well... there are some of the moments i treasure.

thanks for being patient for so long... i hope it paid off getting to watch these.

i was late because...

Here are 12 of the most outrageous excuses employees have given for being late to work:

1. My heat was shut off so I had to stay home to keep my snake warm.
2. My husband thinks it's funny to hide my car keys before he goes to work.
3. I walked into a spider web on the way out the door and couldn't find the spider, so I had to go inside and shower again.
4. I got locked in my trunk by my son.
5. My left turn signal was out so I had to make all right turns to get to work.
6. A gurney fell out of an ambulance and delayed traffic.
7. I was attacked by a raccoon and had to stop by the hospital to make sure it wasn't rabid.
8. I feel like I'm in everyone's way if I show up on time.
9. My father didn't wake me up.
10. A groundhog bit my bike tire and made it flat.
11. My driveway washed away in the rain last night.
12. The line at Starbucks was so long I went home and made my own coffee.
