I've had a string of the most random incidents lately.

First, two Mondays ago I woke up to 15 missed calls on my cell phone. Like any normal individual, I immediately thought something had happened to someone in my family and wondered why no one called at home (cell was in the car). But then I noticed that I didn't recognize the number. My phone indicated that I had three voice mails so I decided to give a listen.

What I heard was nothing short of hysterical. I've transferred the audio to youtube, but I must warn you ... it's not work safe or kid safe. This woman, who was obviously extremely upset (or drove -- her word) with her significant other, dropped the F bomb throughout the three messages.



The second random act consisted of my neighbors mistakenly thinking my yard was the drop zone for their dead Christmas trees. I woke up one morning to one in the yard and the next day there were a couple more ... and finally a total of six.



I reluctantly stapled a sign to one of them, fearing the worst -- that it might incite others to deposit their dead trees as well. And this may have been over-the-top hilarious if we weren't trying to sell our house, but it was only kind of funny instead. Luckily, the sign worked and the trees were actually picked up a couple of days thereafter.
