So last night was the first night that myself and the other new gal closed the Scrapbook store, and it went well till it was time to turn the alarm on and go. Now I have turned the alarm on every night since I have been there, so no problem there, what you do is one person stays in the front, and the other goes to the back to turn on the alarm. While I was back there doing just that, Dianne was talking to me, but I couldnt hear what she said, so I set the alarm.. well she was telling me NOT TO SET IT, the keys were locked in the door from when the teacher left the store, she locked the door from the outside, and the keychain for the inside lock was stuck in the door, and we couldnt turn the key! So great, do you think either of us knows how to UN ARM the alarm? no, cause we only close, we had no need to know how to do that. So then the damn alarm goes off, and it was like, THREE different alarms, all very loud. I had to laugh at it, it just seemed so typical that this would happen. We knew the alarm co would be calling, so we waited, but it seemed like forever and they didnt, so I called one of the owners, she heard the alarm and started laughing after she knew everything was alright. the Alarm co called and I couldnt get it, so then they called her cell, she said dont sent the police... We Un Armed the Alarm, and ahh, silence was heaven. We got it all set and then left , this time alarm armed and we made it out the door before it went off. I guess everyone has set that alarm off when they first started, so it was just a matter of time for us.
In other news, Maegan had a post on her Blog about your favorite things in life.... asking to hear what ours was, I posted to her a few things, they were the obvious, The Boston Red Sox, Coffee with Raspberry Creamer, And My latenight conversations with Alec... I have been having alot of those lately, and I really enjoy them. At a time in a boys life where most of them stay away from conversations with their parents, Alec and I have been having more and more of them, I love that we have so much to talk about, I really like him. I know, you should love all your kids and I do, but To really enjoy an almost 17 year olds Company is rare I think. He is my friend as well as my son, and I love the relationship I have with him, may we all be so lucky to have such a good and enjoyable realationship with all our children.

Oh no Tami! The first time I had to disarm the alarm when I worked at the PT office I actually ripped the keypad off the wall in my hurry to get the cover open. :) Thankfully I disarmed it before it REALLY started going off.
I love your favorite things. I still must find that creamer. It is so sweet that you are having conversations with Alec. I would never have done that with my parents when I was that age.
