thursday randomness...

yes, i finally got my modem yesterday....and after TWO HOURS, i got my DSL installed! yep, it really took that long....i blame it partially on stupid verizon (their connections kept failing) & partially on my dinosaur PC - it's so darn slow! i've been saving up for a laptop - but after last night, that item just got bumped to the top of my wish list!

my mom came by my cube yesterday to share this funny story with me, and i want to share it with u :0)
i've told u about my brother's farm - and how they raise chickens for the eggs & my parents also live on the farm & help out every other weekend with the egg gathering
well, last week sometime - my dad had the brilliant plan of tricking my brother with some dyed eggs!
he'd collected some of the double yolks & tiny eggs (they sell these to anyone that would like to buy them - cheap too - but they're not sent on to the hatcheries)....dad took them home & dyed a few blue, a few half yellow/half green & one that said "gotcha" on it!
he placed them randomly on the line & went on about his day
later my brother & his wife, katie, go down to do the gathering....when one of the blue eggs shows up on the conveyor belt, my bro freaks out & calls his service man "you'll never guess what i just got!" ~lol~
he got a few more & ran over to show katie!
a little while later, they get a half & half egg & start to suspect someone is having fun with them.....finally, they get the "gotcha" one & know they've been had!
~lmao~
my dad is a nut! :0)
