savory thoughts

it's always said that you should never go to the grocery store hungry. primarily because you'll buy lots of food you wouldn't have ordinarily purchased, just because it sounded good. i have a different reason: lip licking. casually strolling down the aisle looking for your favorite rice a roni flavor when you spy something that just sounds good. then, to your horror you realize you are licking your lips. it's so not cute, but completely unconscious. so embarassing.

desenex and you

i'm declaring a moratorium on the phrase 'it is what it is'. you don't hear this uttered in a moment of shear elation. "you just won the $100 million lottery- what do you think!" "well, it is what it is..."
it's such an easy out- you big loser, you just lost, is there anything you'd like to say? "it is what it is."
how bout you grow a back bone and say what you really feel? "i'm a total douchebag and this whole situation sux."

i've traveled quite a bit the last few weeks. i've been through lots of airports, and my bare feet have traipsed across many other bare feet thanks to rich@rd reid. the one thing that goes through my mind as i stand in those lines is.. if you can pee in the shower to kill athletes foot, dont' you think for your own protection you could pee in front of the scanners? i think this is a perfectly reasonable offer. either that or i could just wear sox i spose.

bad friends and warm cookies

i am a bad friend.. i really am. i don't intend to be, but sometimes i just get in weird funks and sort of check out for a while. my friends call me, but i don't return the calls. i fully intend and expect to, it's just that tomorrow becomes the next day, and then it's a week later. it's like as soon as i walk in my front door i close off the world. it doesn't make any sense because i love seeing my friends and hanging out and am so glad when i get to see them.... maybe i need prozac? i still have a presciption that my dog annie used to take - it's doggy prozac called chlomicalm... think that would work? she was only 6 pounds, so how much harm could it do? i'm kidding of course, but it blows my mind that we give human drugs to dogs. once when my dachshund was sick, the vet told me to give her pepto bismol- and i'll be damned if it didn't work! and she liked it too... even better!

sad news about the bunnies folks..... none of them made it. checked in with the girl who took them in and she said she thought one of them (she named him baxter.. i bet he could speak spanish) would make it as he had opened his eyes, but sadly it wasn't meant to be... drats.

here's something completely ridiculous that happened to me on my recent business travels- we had an aborted landing coming in to boston last tuesday! a fog bank made a sudden turn and settled over the run way as we were coming in- i looked down and saw the run way 15-20 feet below us and suddenly the pilot revs the engines and we start climbing... i cried when we landed the second time. felt like such an idiot, but geezus that was scary. fortunately the ride back last night was flawless.. i even was upgraded to first class. mmm.. warm cookies straight out of the oven.

my heroine

have been by the pet store a few times to check on the bunnies, but the girl hasn't been there. rats! i think lily can be officially deemed a hero now (or is it heroine) as she has saved the bunny's lives. over the weekend, i found the mother rabbit taking a dirt nap behind the spa. don't know what happened to her, but those babies surely would have died without her. all this death and dying and sadness really had me thinking. and i came to one conclusion.. life's too short to buy cheap toilet paper.
