Aaawesome!

I think I'm going to go crazy if "Aaawesome!" keeps coming at me.

For a while we kept getting a call from some company that said we'd won a free night's stay at Park City. I kept telling the woman that she'd have to call when my husband was home. "Aaawesome!" she'd reply. "When will he be home?" "About 7:30 tonight." "Aaawesome!"

Finally we told them we weren't interested and they shouldn't call back. "Aaawesome!"

A few days later I dropped off David's request for medical records at the office of the doctor we planned to start using. "Aaawesome!" the receptionist told me. I almost did a double-take, thinking she worked nights for the Park City company.

When I left school on Friday, I noticed two posters put up for "Kindness Week." (Not sure if I've been especially kind this week!) One said, "Be Happy!" The other said, "Be Awesome!"

Oh no.
