April Fools Day

Text Conversation from April 1st 2011 between Stephanie and Charlie Loup:

Steph: Ummmmmm so I think I just got myself fired....

Charlie: How???

Steph: Well, have you ever heard me talk about mrs magellen?(Her name was changed for confidentiality...if she exists) We may or may not have gotten into a fight..She is SO rude and pushed me and I pushed her back..Aaaaaaand I know she's gonna call Mike(Bossman)

Steph: There's no way I won't lose my job

Steph: She's so mean though and was insulting me and stuff

Steph: I just can't handle it! Maybe it would be good if I get fired.

Charlie: Ugh! She sounds terrible, tell Mike(bossman) she's a horrible patient!

Steph: I can't believe she pushed me and I lost control like that! I bet there's gonna be a lawsuit

Steph: Ugh! I'm going to have to testify!

Charlie: Shutup, it won't be that serious

Steph: Yes it is! You don't know some of our patients!

Charlie: What did she say? She must be mean to get you to push her

Steph: She told me to get my white supremacist hands off of her


At this point, I should have realized she was joking because the only thing stephanie assaults are bugs. The white supremacist comment did not throw me off because we are white supremacists.


Charlie: Well, you are definitely not a white supremacist(I was joking haha of course she is), that's ridiculous honey. Nothing will fly in court and a lawyer would laugh at mrs magellen's case

Steph: I know, but what if it gets to Minnesota that I did that to mrs magellen and they don't let me do my internship work?

Steph: This is bad. Very bad!

Steph: Help Me!

Steph: oh my gosh HELP ME!


At this point I ignored my phone for twenty to thirty minutes because it was lunch time. I was totally believing everything, too. But how could anything worry me when an Alma plate lunch was placed in front of my face. It was friday during lent so it was fried catfish, coleslaw, sweet peas, and french fries. It was delicious. I made a nice ketchup sauce with spicy brown mustard which really complimented the catfish filets.



Charlie: Everything is going to be fine, she pushed you first. What do your co-workers think about all this?

Steph: Well they all hate her! But they also know how much some of these types of patients love to sue..Hold on, Mike(bossman) is calling

Steph: Oh my gosh..I have to go meet with Kerry and Mike tomorrow!!(bossman and bosswoman)

Charlie: What made the woman so mad that she pushed you?

Steph: She's evil! Buuuuut I may or may not have given her some attitude..?

Charlie: How did Mike(bossman) sound?

Steph: Pissed and like we have to get this settled asap before rumors start going
around

Charlie: Well, you didn't hurt her when you pushed her, right?

Steph: I'm sure she'll find something "wrong" and a Doctor to support her


During this moment I thought about selling everything we own to pay for lawyer fees and how we wouldn't move to minnesota becuase we wouldn't have any money. I also thought about using my blinker at every single turn while driving my truck and how much the surface of false river looked like the sky(How does water do that?).



Charlie: Well, you need to calm down. You are over-reacting. Everything will turn out fine. Tomorrow you'll tell your side of the story to Mike(bossman). You'll apologize to him and say you reacted wrongly

Charlie: Wait, is this an April fools joke?

Steph: HAHAHAHAHA, yesssss

Charlie: That was real good

Steph: Thank you! Also, when did you have time to buy me 2 dozen tulips and wash my car?

Charlie: Oh, I had a spare hour or two yesterday between roadside trash cleanup and serving at the food bank

Steph: Oh, well thanks. But my favorite color is not yellow just so you know.



It finally hit me that it was April fools day because Pernky had played a joke on me earlier that morning (she switched her dogfood with my captain crunchberries..they look so similar) and it entered in my mind at that point, that is when I finally asked her. I'm fairly gullible and prone to an april fools joke pretty much every year. Last year my friend convinced me that I only had one arm. I may or may not have edited some of the texts. Stephanie cusses like a sailor, so of course I removed all the swear words. I also edited cliches like "before the crap hits the fan" , "get it while you live it", and "Let it all hang out". Stephanie is full of cliches, and also full of lies. She told me her favorite colors were LSU colors. You don't have to tell me twice.

ACCESS via Pointe Coupee Parish

This is my Stephanie! Isn't she cute? I think she looks like a little elf!
Here is our address marker so the parish would know where to put in our culvert.
Amazing technology. WOW.
So yesterday the parish came and put in the culvert to Stephanie and I's lot. Now we can access it by vehicle. Now we can bring in our mobile home(ugh, when we purchase it!). And now we can start leveling our lot and maybe possibly even planting some grass(I may need my future brother-in-laws help on this one...Al..).

It's amazing how sometimes the water is just sitting at the flood gate, but when that gate opens, it rushes through. That is kind of the idea here. Now that we have a driveway access to the lot, we can begin everything. I think God prepares us like this in some ways as well. We can feel like we're just sitting, waiting, and then all of a sudden God opens up a door and we rush through with confidence-knowing exactly what he wants us to do. It's just so hard for us to sit and wait in patience. Blugh.
