Happy Holidays!!!

I wanted to wish everyone a joyous holiday. I know you have all been sitting on pins and needles wondering what I would do this year. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I was very lazy. I had a few ideas, but just didn't want to take the time to do it. Can you believe it? So I baked a pan of brownies and just made them wonder. You should have been in the office this morning. Everyone was looking in the offices to see what I had done. When they saw the pan of brownies they became very suspicious. Phil was the only brave soul to try one. After lunch, they saw there were no adverse affects so they started eating them. I just sat there with a big smile and made them wonder.

Well, to celebrate this special day, I did find a few really good pranks that have been pulled in the past. Enjoy! And please share any pranks that you played or had played on you. To see my past pranks, check out this and this.

I would like to thank Josh Huang for the elaborate prank he played on me. It was very thoughtful of you and very good.

Happy Holidays!!!

I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday!!!! Just to recap what I did last year, click here. Okay, now on to present day!!! (Just to warn you - I will be using a lot of exclamation points today! See I just can't help it!)

The story starts with my previous post requesting help from you, my faithful readers (all five or so of you). Amy from South Africa suggested this idea so I must first of all acknowledge her assistance. Thank you, Amy!!! My second acknowledgement must go to my chiropractor, Dr. Jeff Anderson. He loves to hear about my April Fool's "gifts" and asked me what my plans were. I told him Amy's idea of using poppers on chair rollers, but I had no idea where to get them. As it turns out, you can only get them in states where fireworks are legal and Iowa is not one of them. He just happened to have gotten a case of them in WI and said he would be happy to share. Thank you , Dr. Anderson!!!!!!!!!!


So here they are - the wonderful box of poppers.

I put them on the stopper of their drawers (they actually haven't found these yet). This is going to be the "gift that keeps on giving."

Here they are on the rollers of their chairs.

Now, let me introduce you to my partner in crime. Stacey is my friend, Jr. Girls co-teacher and now my April Fool's buddy. I didn't just want to keep the joy all at camp, so she met me at the church and we left "gifts" for our pastors as well.

I guess these photos might be a bit incriminating.

Stacey thought that our pastor's wife, Mary would like her desk decorated a bit. We thought what better to decorate with than T.P. Mary knew we were going to leave "gifts" for the pastors, so we knew she would know this was from us. She didn't work today, so I guess the other secretary was the one to receive the gift in her honor.

Mary called me this morning to tell me that Pastor called her to tell her that everything in his office popped this morning when he went in. (Just imagine my evil laugh...ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh.) He thinks it was all Stacey because of the note she left on Mary's desk. I'm sure he doesn't read my blog and Mary told him that she would never reveal her sources. I'm safe for now.

This year, I had several "gifts" left for me as well. When I arrived at my desk this morning, the desktop on my computer was upside down and my mouse had been tampered with. Try moving your mouse in the opposite direction than normal to try to fix everything. That was a good one. Thanks Shane.

When I went downstairs for lunch I noticed right away that something was a muck. (I heard that in a movie once and just love that phrase.) The handles on my refrigerator and freezer had been moved to the other side. They also switched a couple of my drawers. Thank you Dan, Shane and Aaron. (My mom taught me that it's rude not to thank people for gifts.) I hope this is a gift that will be fixed though. It will drive me crazy to have to open the doors from the other direction now.

So, how did you celebrate. Come on...don't be a dud. Get in the spirit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Holidays!!!

Some of you may think that I'm confused, but I assure you I'm not. Tomorrow is my favorite holiday. Last year, some helpers and I wrapped the offices of the director and asst. director. I don't mean desk, but their entire offices (chair, computer, mouse, keyboard, bookshelves, in box, etc.) I actually didn't have a great idea of this year, so was just going to make some brownies and make them wonder what was wrong with them. But my best friend, Bekah, had a friend that had a great idea......so I stole it. Everyone was off the campground today except my partner in crime, so it really helped to get it all done.


Here it is!


All of these little cups are filled with water. We didn't do the entire floor....just enough to keep them from getting in.


We even put some around their chairs.

Our maintenance supervisor doesn't have an office, so I had to find something else to do. This will be the first year that I have included him in the fun. To be honest, I'm scared of him. He will probably actually retaliate and it will be bigger than what I did I'm sure. This might be the only year I include him.

Hope you enjoyed the pictures and hope you are inspired to have your own fun as well!
