I think I particularly like the way BuddhaBubba can be barfing while looking up at me as though nothing were going on below her nose, as though nothing were dripping from her mouth. And then she turns and walks away. Doesn’t sniff it. Doesn’t look down at it. I have to wonder if she even knows it’s there.

When forced to choose between me and his beloved Santa toy, Carm chooses Santa every time. Suddenly our relationship seems all too familiar and reminiscent…
This poor crab was so desperate for warmth that it climbed two flights of stairs and ripped the screen door to get into my sister’s house. Sadly, the inside of Judy’s house is colder than the outside. The crab died in despair.

I’m trying to pull out of the parking space at Carr’s when I realize the car next to me is also pulling out. I look across to the driver to do that friendly wordless thing that decides who pulls out first. She looks over, phone to ear, holds her hand up for me to wait, pulls halfway out and stops to have a more vigorous phone conversation while still holding her hand up indicating she’d need me to wait until she got off the phone to continue pulling out. It’s times like these when I realize it’s a good thing
Ah compromise. When did you become such a dirty word? Without you, there would be no America. Our Founding Fathers all had to give a little to get a little as they created the world’s first experiment in democracy.
Clearly not all compromises are good. The Missouri Compromise didn’t solve the slavery issue. Cutting Vietnam into a north and south after the fall of Dien Bien Phu may have ended the first Indochina War but it led directly to the disaster we call the Vietnam War. And drawing an artificial line in Korea has led one of the more bizarre
The birds, the dogs and I all stare at each other sullenly. Three days of enforced togetherness with no break but for a brief foray to Bird TLC does not make for a happy household. If my body is found, look for talon and dog paw prints.
As someone who works out of her house, it means I can wander around in my nightie with my hair all cattywampus and never worry about anyone coming to the door or anyone expecting me to go out my door. My lovely snow plowing service, ironically called Just Lawns, shoveled my walkway and found my newspaper so I will soon curl up with that. Maybe I’ll watch another movie. Watched The Hobbit over two nights this weekend. Can’t watch movies like that in the theater anymore because they have done away with Intermission and I simply can no longer sit

My mother once scrubbed the spots out of the linoleum on the floor in front of her stove and then wanted my father to return the linoleum as defective.
I don’t know why I find that story as funny as I do. But it always cracks me up.
Because this week I found myself crying during the ending of NCIS (it involved a dog) and CSI (it involved a baby being born).
Seriously, where is my life?
