Yee Haw!

Some things change, others don't.

For instance, in the two solid years I've had a Facebook profile, I've had 102 profile pictures. I like to rearrange the furniture (even if I just end up putting it right back where it was). I occasionally change my clothes in the course of a day, and I often change the hat that I'm wearing. I change my desktop background on my computer at least once a month. I change my favorite ringtones, the time I use for my early morning alarm, and the song that wakes me up. I try to change my hairstyle, but that's a different story.

In the past 6 years or so, there's only one thing I know that I haven't changed. That's my voicemail message: "Yee Haw! You've reached Erica. Leave me a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks and have a great day!"

For as much that changes in my life (new job responsibilities, new friendships, a brand new baby), I take a measure in comfort knowing that when you call and I don't answer (which is nearly every time you call), you'll be greeted with the same familiar exuberance that I continue to have for life.

Yee Haw!
