the drop in...

you either love it or you hate it! right??

and i think that pretty much how you feel about the drop in as an adult is determined by how your parents viewed it...for the most part

so i'm pretty much (and i really need to think about this...) in the 'i don't really like the drop in' camp...and of course, most of my friends and family know this - how could they not - i'm also in the 'don't call me before 9am unless you are dying' camp....what this amounts to is that i'm usually pretty clear with what i like and don't like...it works for me! (most of the time...)

so imagine my surprise today when i am half way through stripping the bed and listening to my afl team on the radio (thru the computer because foxtel can't get their act together and play it live) when my buzzer goes!

my first reaction is 'who would be buzzing' followed very quickly by 'whoever it is they probably just hit the wrong number by accident' so i put on my nicest smiley face as i say 'hello?'...

turns out it's one of my oldest and dearest friends - one who KNOWS i do not like the drop in, but did it anyway...hilarious!

sooo turns out that in fact, i don't hate the drop in, especially not when i get to see an old friend i wasn't expecting to see today :-)

however, this is not a free for all - this does not mean that all of my friends can now randomly drop in! but today, it was a really nice surprise :-)
