#4..."Awkward Silence"

I have found my #4.... If you can recall from my last post I didn't know what to write for #4.. And then it hit me the other day..Awkward Silence. I have had many conversations with Nathan Johnson about my chronic awkward silence problem. "HI, my name is Victoria Leber, and I am an Awkward silence starter." Yep thats right.. I seem to start awkward silence..Not on purpose but........naturally. For example when I am at work, I always introduce myself and then.......awkward silence..here's an example.
Me: "Hello, good morning!"
Patient: "Hi"
Me: "My name is Victoria and I'm here to take you down to the pre-op holding area"
Patient: ( silence)
Me: " okay....well we're ready to go."

You see they have nothing to say because I leave that awkwardness and they really can't say anything..but there are many other instances outside of work.. Like when I hold conversations with new people..especially at church.. It's always Hey I'm Vickie ..I'm JOe.. then I walk away cuz I have created the akward silence.. Ohh and I went to Caribou Coffee and this guy and another guy were talking , and he too was an awkward silence starter..But he was much better at trying to start up another conversation..But yeah soo that is my #4..and thats it...........

Ohh Man

Well, I do realize that I haven't posted in a while.. And a LOT of things have happened since the last post. #1 Thank you all for the prayer..I definetly saw a difference.. #2 Animal issues surfaced. #3 laughter beyond belief..#4 ????.. Let me elaborate. I'll start with #2, becuase #1 is self-explanitory.. Animal Issues..on Friday morning on the 28th of April.. I walked out of my Apartment at around 6:10 am to go to work.. When I open the door I see a huge Oppossum on the front porch.. I shut the door and I had to sit a think a minute. Now I am going to recap something that happened earlier that morning. When I woke up I heard a scratching and another wierd noise in our basement window. The basement window is a fire escape "pit" as I like to call it. Soo putting the 2 things together, Oppossum randomly on my front porch and wierd noise.. Yes my friends, there was a baby Oppossum stuck in the fire"pit" escape window..Yeah and the Mommy Oppossum had 8 babies all over her! Ehggck Minus the one in the pit but it was gross.. To end the story my roomate Nikki climed down in the pit and got it out and put it in a box.. That night it was gone soo.. We don't really know what happened to the baby Oppossum..Thats not all of the animal issues. The next day, which would be the 29th of April. Amy was looking in one of her bags near her bed and saw, a few ants crawling on it.. She picks up the bag and they are allllll overrrr the place! So we looked under her bed and they are swarming under it.. Ehhhhhhh yeah needless to say I had soo much sympathy for amy.. We sprayed spider killer on them then we kind of got high off of that.. haha no but we did feel burning sensations in our nose/throats. Anyway soo they were all dead.. Well we had to vaccuum them all up. We don't have a vaccuum. So we had to borrow the neighbors vaccuum.. It was a huge mess. That weekend was crazy! #3 Laughter..Amy and I are really .......... random. Afrer all of that animal mess, we laughed about it.. Ohh and last night amy started laughing at her fart and then laughed until she cried for nooooo reason.. That probably lasted ohh, about 5 mins. It was really funny:0...And the other night.. We re-recorded our voicemail messages and those are reallly funny.. I reccomend you call both of our phones to listen to the voicemail message. Soo if you know us and you really want to call let me or amy know.. Also my message has another message within it and its bad, but HILARIOUS!!! Soo we laughed really hard about that. #4 i don't know what 4 is about ..maybe that'll be my next post.. Alright guys I am tired of posting and I have laundry to do! Love you all and have a good WEEKEND!!
-and remeber the voicemail message:)
