Who woulda thunk it...

So, on Friday my cousin-in-law calls me and asks if I ever got her e-mail..
"Ummm... I don't think so..." I say.
"Well, I sent it from my mom's comptuter, so I might have sent it under her name."
"I know your mom's name, and I didn't delete it... and I check my junk mail... I didn't see it there."
"Hmmm..." we both say.
So, she tells me what the e-mail was about and we figured all that out.
The next day I get an e-mail from her mom stating that she spelled my name wrong in the e-mail. She sent it to: aletheaanderson@yahoo.com instead of aleatheaanderson@yahoo.com. And she didn't get a cyber message saying the reciepent didn't exist. So, she sent an appology e-mail to the other Alethea. Thought that was the end of the story.

Today... I got an e-mail from aletheaanderson@yahoo.com. The people at Hospitals of Hope that I need to talk to before I leave... THEY spelled my name wrong too, in the SAME WAY. And the e-mail went to the other Alethea. She was kind enough to forward it to me. Very nice considering the subject was "Very Important Information." Craziness.

So, after thinking of the craziness for awhile today... I googled her.
She exists.
She has a website. www.aletheaanderson.com.
Wow.

I mean, if your name is John Smith. You've heard of other John Smith's. But man, my name is Aleathea Anderson... that is crazy.
