It is my home, my neighborhood, and my history. It is what I am and where I came from. Embarrassing? Yes Boring? Never

I am Going to Live in a Box

I went to the ladies room, where upon I found myself unable to open the stall door after completion of my task. I actually became somewhat panicked because


1) I would have to be in there until someone came and helped me, which of course would be someone that would hugely embarrass me, probably like a director or something. I would be considered an imbecile and probably laid off as soon as possible. Then I would lose my house, and have to live in a box.

2) I would have to crawl out under the door, which would result in ruining my dress clothes, at the least. I would without a doubt get some form of hepatitis. And I would be definitely spotted crawling on the floor by my coworkers, who would have to report my insane behavior and I would be ‘allowed’ to leave for medical reasons. Then I would have everything I own repossessed, sold at auction, and have to live in a box.

3) I would completely have a melt down because I would flash back to my childhood, when at about 4 or 5 – it was Christmas morning and my door was stuck and I could not get out and they could not bust open the door because I would not get out of the way. I was in hysterics and obviously severely traumatized because at this moment I am about to have the same reaction. And start screaming and crying about Santa and gifts and help me help me. Which would show that I am having a mental breakdown, and when I get out of the institution I will have lost all my family because of their humiliation and I will have to live in a box.



Then I reached over and turned the lock the other way and let myself out. Sometimes I just over react.

Use Your Uterus

My call at lunch today--




"I cannot find my #$%^&;^(* teeth! I am probably going to have to go to the doctor's without them. (*^&(*&;(%^("



"Did you have them this morning?"



"Yes, that is the *&!!;^*&$#%%^;^ aggravating part because I had them in my hand to go clean them and now they are gone. They are here somewhere. Unless the (*&!!!;(* dogs got them, then I am &!$$#*."



"When you went to clean them what do you do?"



"I went upstairs and I noticed that one of the (*& (*&; fish was dead. I do not know what I did that is causing these fish to just drop dead. I clean the tanks; I balance the water, then all the sudden dead fish. I think the other (*&a ;*(&a ; fish are killing them1"



"Go up by the fish tanks"



"Okay, but I really need to find my teeth. I have to leave here in about 10 minutes and I need my &a ;^^&; teeth. I sure hope that I did not throw them away or something, I'm gonna dump out the trash in the bathroom, and maybe the one by the fish tanks. &a ;%*&a ;^(*"



"Don’t dump the ...."



"I found my ^&** teeth, they were right her on the table by the tanks, &**&%* I have to go"



"What about the trash?"



"I will get it later, I got to clean these and get out of here."



"Hey, why did you call?"



"Well, normally you find everything, you told me that the uterus is like a homing device, and mine was not working."



"Funny"



"Thanks, but I did not even need you, I found them"



"Your uterus must have kicked in"

I'll String Along with You

"You may not be an angel, 'cause angels are so few
But until the day that one comes along, I'll string along with you
I'm looking for an angel, to sing my love song to
And until the day that one comes along, I'll string along with you

For every fault that you have, dear, I've got three or four
The human little faults that you do have, just make me love you more
You may not be an angel, but still I'm sure you'll do
So until the day that one comes along, I'll string along with you"


My mother loved this song, I heard her in my sleep last night, humming it over and over.  I woke up with it in my head and heart.  It is so funny when it happens, those moments when she seeps into my dreams and gives me something to smile about.   I miss her.
