i got this random get well card in the mail today. i don't know who it's from. no return address. signed with lots of random names. i examined the entire card and envelope looking for clues. i saw someone named chris signed it and saw it had a postmark of memphis, tennessee. so i'm smart and all I think "omg how sweet chris and lots of random people signed this get well card for me"

so naturally I did what every rational 20 yr old girl in austin would do at 230 in the morning.

I called chris....

to find out I was wrong.

i think someone in memphis woke up only to be very very very confused. i'm sorry.

so after being thoroughly mortified with a pinch of plain embarrassment that i am an idiot i figured out who the card was from. which i could have done in the first place if only i'd thought a little bit more about it.

see my mom travels alot for her work and one of the branches she travels to is in, yes that's right, memphis. so not only did this card not come from anyone i know, it came from a random branch in my mom's company.

thanks guys, thanks a lot. i'll remember this and send you a random no return address card that will make you excited and then embarrass the hell out of you at TWO THIRTY IN THE GODDAMN MORNING.

lara you have nothing on me today.
