whimsical ditties and amusing anecdotes

fine. i give up. all my friends are doing it, so i will too. i will join the land of the bloggers.
a friend of mine and i long ago were going to write a book of whimsical ditties and amusing anecdotes. that never came to fruition and was long before the time of the internets.. so enter blog stage left and now maybe i have a venue? will see how it goes... be kind, i'm fragile.

so it goes something like this- the really cute maintenance dude was walking out for the day at work:
he: good night
me: takealickanick!!

yep....

this is my track record, and one of the many reasons why i'm in my late 30's and never married. i believe my brain wanted to say "take care, have a good day", but it didn't quite work out. it's been 10 years and my friends still don't say goodbye to me without saying 'takealickanick'. when I first met these friends (at work) and we were all getting to know each other, i'd tell stories of my family. one story i was relating was of my brother. i told them what a pain in the neck it was to provide food for him because he's a vegetable. the horrified looks on their faces made me quickly realize that they didn't know me that good yet... my brother was a vegetarian. i explained myself and their immediate relieft was obvious... oops.. sorry about that guys.
i've never tried to take life seriouslly, but sometimes you're forced in to it.

i have a baby sister. she's one and a half and is really sweet. her name is lily. she's black and white and has super soft long ears. she likes to look out the window waiting for bunny sitings. she also likes to eat books. but i'll tell you more about her later- and a picture or two.
