Ahem. I thought it was cruel and unusual punishment that they had only one sponge with all those hedgehogs waiting. I mean, really....they couldn't have bought the jumbo pack?
Oh, and FYI my love...I had the dialogue at the end translated. It loosely translates to:
"And so unveils the history of this hedgehog baby...mistaken by his sponge...with other hedgehogs...
But like many love...unfortunately...not reciprocated."
Utter perfection! Almost makes you want to move to France, right??!
xoxo <3

Oh, Ronnie!
WOOHOO!!!!!:D:D:D That is FABULOUS news, sweetie! Oh, I am so TOTALLY glad you followed that spot-on instinct of yours! Talk about "cosmic payoff"....that. is. it!!
And your attitude for the future? The hours will come. 'Cause they will. Hard work and dedication are not overlooked...especially in your industry....they are a huge commodity.
You and I are so much alike, sweetie...many balls in the air...many different hats...always room to fit in a few more....
Bring it, Universe! We'll make it work!!;)
I'm so proud and happy for you, handsome! You will always land on your feet....just like the f!ck-you cat!!
xoxo <3

God, Ronnie! I freakin' LOVE this post!

It's like you're inside my head...(which, admittedly is getting more and more crowded as the years pass)-
I found myself thinking, "Wait. I haven't seen that flick"...and you say, "I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it."

I say (to the dog), "I tend to go with my gut"...and you say, "I make my choices based on my gut feelings."

Get outta my head, mister!

I will tell you this. I've thought about this issue enough that I've polled friends and fam to find out what they've regretted more: things that they acted on...or things that they didn't. The majority ruled that they'd regretted more the times they didn't act based on that "gut feeling".

Second-guessing yourself seems to be part of the human condition...that sense of ambiguity. (God, Ron...I love this word! I must use it more often!) But, it can cripple you...think about how often marketing companies prey on this most vulnerable of emotions: "Don't let this happen to you!" It creates that gnawing doubt. Dangerous stuff.

You've outdone yourself with this one, sweetie!
xo <3

Oh, Ronnie....you SLAY me! You water pick-toting, dental floss-carrying, compact mirror and flashlight-packing MANIAC, you!

I can just picture you....with a perfectly straight face...telling that poor girl that she was "all clear". Well, your secret is out now, my dear....we ALL KNOW what you're capable of!

And, we all know where we can find the mirror to see when you're LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETH...

Pun totally intended.

You GO, handsome! First of all...LOVING the banner of the Brooklyn Bridge! Second...I dawdled and watched the Will & Grace clip....a classic that I've seen before but loved seeing again.

As for idiot-MAC-guy, you know that you're not the first, nor the last to be put off by his smug, arrogant attitude. We're all aware that sales are down across the board...the last thing anyone wants is a desperate, cocky, pushy salesman.

He got just what he deserves...the memory of the back of your head as you walked out the door. ;)
As always, you're my hero!
xo <3

Oh God Ronnie....

It's like you've gotten inside of their heads or something. Are you a pet psychologist in your spare time?? Talk about "spot-on" (pun intended).

I'm loving the way the kitty's paws are just so...just like those little toddlers that pose for the beauty contests.

It's sooooo freakin' true. A dog says, "I LOVE YOU....do YOU love me?"....while a cat says "F*ck you. You may go away now." Talk about self-esteem on four legs....

You NAILED this one, my friend. You totally ROCK. ;)

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 (One heart for every time I laughed out loud during the reading of this post)

("shhhhh......I'm hunting wabbit.....") very first thing to pop into my head...after three therapy sessions to discuss my intense fear at a rabbit the size of a small goat, that is... :o

Ah dust bunnies...the way I figure it, you've got two ways you can go:
#1: Buy yourself a Swiffer Duster and do a daily soft-shoe and they'll stick to it like Tiger to a prostitute or,
#2: Decide to raise the little suckers on your own. Give 'em names and chores...and bring 'em up the Mafioso way...telling 'em that periodically they'll need to "thin the herd"....if ya know what I'm sayin'....

Great post, my love. A subject very close to my heart! <3
Thanks for the Monday morning smile! (And the therapy)

(Laughing) I can TOTALLY see you rocking down the house, Ronnie! I'm sure the people downstairs thought you were having some sort of seizure...or maybe a scuffle with a very large mouse...

It's something about that beat that sends one's hips to grinding...and fits in perfectly with your on-the-spot summation of "slow foreplay and then builds to a musical orgasm as it crescendos into a glorious climax"....but, of course...for us gals...there's multiple (ahem) "crescendos"...

I adore the fact that you live life the way it was meant to be lived, handsome....full-throttle and with no abandon...at least, when it comes to your disco...now, move over and make room! If I'm gonna do the Travolta point, roll and shoot, I'm gonna need some space!

WOOHOO! Do the hustle! (Oops...wrong decade)

Love you! <3

Wow! Congratulations! Gee...I can't imagine why you'd want to leave the virus-defenseless, spyware-attracting PC that so many of us suffer with. (Sorry, Bill...but gee....Apple's got a valid point with those ads)
I'm glad you're going with your gut...which is either hungry, or knows what you should be pouring your creative juices into. (And I mean that in the most G-rated way possible.)

But the truth is, if it feels right...ya gotta do it! Right? I've heard you can really get creative with a MAC..it's what all the hip graphic artists use.

I wonder, though...can you transfer any of your software from your PC? Do you have to buy a new version of Microsoft Office? (Or, does MAC have their own?)

You'll have to keep us posted on this love affair, Ronnie...maybe, someday...I'll be making the jump and
we'll be having a threesome. (insert cute little face with the confused, bulging, different-sized eyes here...where's those emotions when I need 'em??)

Boy...upgrade to DSL and a new MAC...all in about a month? I'm glad all that overtime is seriously paying off, my love...you TOTALLY deserve it!
xoxo

Okay. I would've commented sooner, but I had to pee....and pee.....and pee.
So, evidently everyone on Google knows all about this "Peeing-In-Da-Winter" thing:
"The reason is that in order to minimize heat loss during cold exposure, the body restricts the flow of blood to the skin and superficial tissues. This is called 'peripheral vasoconstriction'. The result is that blood is shunted to the body core, the volume of blood circulating in the core is higher, and mean arterial blood pressure is higher. Blood volume, and hence blood pressure, are regulated by the kidney, which either reabsorbs or sheds water from the body according to how well hydrated we are. So when you are exposed to the cold and your blood pressure rises, the kidney interprets this as due to an excess circulating volume, and sets about losing salt and water in order bring down the blood volume and hence blood pressure. As a result you produce more urine."
"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..................................................."
Oh! So, there you go, sweetie. I just Googled "increased urination in winter?" and I was golden. And so, evidently, are you. So, "Pee, oh sweet man! Pee until spring comes! You're going to....anyway!!"
And as for peeing sitting down? I've just had it explained to me that it's much quieter then the traditional full-stream-ahead method.
How did we get on this subject again??
Who loves ya, baby??
xoxo :*
