It has been one of those days - no, weeks - where I drag myself into work to face unending calls and a mounting call queue, crawl out of the office at lunch for a brief moment of respite, and shlep myself back in to make it through the day, the drive home, making dinner/chores, and then falling into bed at too late an hour. And yet a funny little moment popped up today to remind that being alert is better than zoning out!
I asked a merchant calling in for her login ID, which she gladly gave me, clarifying the letters with examples (like "A like apple.") I was listening through a fog of tiredness and post-lunch nappy-time, when I started and thought, "Did she just say 'B like butt?'" She did, because the next thing I heard was giggling. Wait! That means that "H like Harry" that she'd said two seconds ago was actually "H like hairy!" She caught me starting to laugh and explained, "I work for a colon cancer screening clinic - it's the 'Butt-Check' job." We shared a great giggle over the phone, and I hung up smiling from that call. Nothing like a spot o' potty humor to wake me up and remind me that even a tough day can bring goofy surprises!
About Us
- Katie (and Ken) Baldwin

- I am a graduate of the American Studies and Spanish programs of Brigham Young University, a lover of all things Humanities, and with weaknesses for naughty junk food, 1990s romantic comedies, beautiful clothes/shoes/makeup, and Halloween. I like to daydream about being a professor, an archaeologist, an FBI agent, or an actress. I also love my three adorable nieces. Kenny is a BYU graduate of the Engineering and Business schools who dreams of becoming a police officer. He loves everything motorcycle and guitar, baseball, basketball, and snowboarding, and would never say no to Italian food or clothes shopping. He loves horror films, watching food shows on the Travel Channel, and cop shows, all of which have led to some exciting adventures for us! We are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, served missions in NYC (me) and northern California (Ken), and love the Gospel and our family and friends.

Bwa ha ha!!!
Here are some quotes supposedly said after a colonoscopy:
“Take it easy, Doc--you’re boldly going where no man has gone before.”
“Could you write me a note for my wife, saying that my head is not, in fact, up there?”
“You know, in some states, we’re now legally married.”
“Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?”
“Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!”
“If your hand doesn’t fit, you must acquit!”
Yeah!!!!!
I love the Bill Engvall ones: "Hey, doc, why don't you tell we what I'm THINKING?!" "Huh?" "You're touching my BRAIN, man!!!"
And, "If you're checking for cavities, I have a dentist - thanks."
And there's always "Are you going to buy me dinner at least?"
