Last December while waiting for a dinner date I spent some time at Eris' house. She was studiously working and hole punching a bunch of stuff. She broke the hole-puncher and handed it to me to fix. As no good deed goes unpunished, the puncher exploded little round paper pieces all over me. I giggled and then started throwing them all over her office not once, but three times. Then she took a handful and threw them in my car!
At dinner that night she neurotically played with sugar packets, making patterns and driving everyone nuts with her behavior. Little did everyone know, she was taking them to stuff into all the nooks and crannies of my car. Grrrr.
Since that night my coworkers and I have been saving punches. Knowing this had to be timed correctly, because she was staying at my house for the weekend the end of February, the opportunity hit me Friday afternoon that that was the night. The guys play poker once a month and the girls hang out at another house, this time the girls were at Eris's.
I left my purse in her office on purpose so that I could make the deposit just before I left. I had linked a bunch of her paperclips together (little ones and big ones together in the same link) earlier in the evening and staked out the perfect spot to leave my little gifts.
She found the gift 30 seconds too early. She returned the favor with "tripping" into the back seat of my car and throwing them all over me and the front of the car, I had a hard time getting my seatbelt hooked up since it was jam packed with punches! I thought that I ended up with the raw end of the deal, but it only took $2.25 and ten minutes at the car wash to get it cleaned up. Pretty sure her kids and animals will be dragging them through the house for a while!
BTW - I found more sugar packets while vacuuming out my car! Love you too Eris!
