I Think She Nailed It

This year on my birthday, I was feeling a little “down.” Hitting 53 wasn’t the thrill I had hoped for. I decided to treat myself and get my nails done. I went to one of those little places in a strip mall near my house. It was nice little place with several manicurists and "spas" for the pedicures. I was assigned to, “Kim,” an attractive Asian woman. We chit chatted a bit as she soaked my hands and filed my nails and massaged my arms. As I started to relax and forget the fact I was turning 53, she stopped, looked at me carefully and said, “You want me to wax yo’ face, Honey?”

Well.....here it goes

OK……I am taking the leap and sending this out to my friends. I am still not sure what the point of this whole blog thing is, but if nothing else, I will get the pictures on my laptop all in one place! I have resisted Facebook for so long. (OK, so I am just too dense to figure it out). I still don’t know what Twitter is, but I think it’s something where you record every single thing you do? Sounds too much like Weight Watchers.

Pet Sitting Can Be The Pits

I do a lot overnight pet sitting. Last night, I had an avocado with dinner. I set the avocado pit on the counter. This morning, I woke up, started coffee and noticed one of the dachshunds had the avocado pit in her mouth. She was chomping and crunching on it. I tried to get her to give it to me. She thought it was a game and ran around the house with it in her mouth. I kept telling her to give it to me and then pried her mouth open and pulled it out. I thought it seemed a bit "mushy," but figured she had just been chewing on it for awhile. Imagine my dismay (and horror!) when I realized it was a rat's HEAD! I am still grossed out!!
