Giving Mickey The Finger

-
Mickey's head fell off. Then I dropped him for a second time and his nose popped off. No problem I said to myself. I'll just super glue him back together, quick as a wink.

Apparently it is much easier to glue epidermis to porcelain than it is porcelain to porcelain. Just when I thought it was safe to let go of the body, it decided not to let go of me. And taking the time to hunt around for my phone so I could take a picture was probably not the best idea since it gave the glue more time to become one with my skin.

Mickey still looks like he spent some time at The Tower Of London. And I still have super glue on two fingers and a thumb. At least I have removed the offending mouse.

My deep thought for the day is this. If you are going to glue something to yourself it should be something useful like a wine glass, not a headless cartoon character. Since it was attached to my middle finger however, maybe I should have left it there. It could have come in handy when driving in Boston.

Censor censor censor - memo - do not drink wine or martini's while playing with super glue.

I just snorted diet coke and it's your fault...the picture of you driving down the interstate with a headless Micky stuck to your middle finger has me in giggles...

Me. Here. Right now. said…
At least you weren't fixing him over your toilet - I hear that particular part of your epidermis is VERY difficult to separate from plastic.

I probably would have done better Cristina if I had a glass or two. Maybe that was the problem.

Hey OC - I think the one finger Boston salute would get a much better response if I had Mickey hanging on.

LOL Robert. I'm moving on to the duck tape next. I think it is safer.

Hey Lori - I checked out that link at loweringthebar. Now I don't feel so bad. Can you even imagine?

Ya know you are probably right on that one, I can actually cut a good miter cut after a few before forget about it nothing lines up.

Okay...I had a good laugh at your expense. Is Mickey ok now?? I have a lovely antique cup with GLOBS of glue on the handle...that was a project after my 3rd beer.
You're not alone there girl!

Well, I think your deep thought is right on track. You definitely nailed the lesson in all that :o)

I have a good visual Rubye Jean of the antique cup with the globs of glue. I'm just thankful it dries relatively clear!

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

What's A Girl To Do About Packing?

Salsa Shark I'm going on vacation in a few weeks to some place warm. Thought it might be a good idea today to try on my shorts. All of them, except for four pairs, somehow shrunk in my drawer over the winter. So off to the mall I went. I picked up a few pairs of shorts, along with a big new suitcase. Can somebody please tell me when a suitcase started costing between $200 and $350? Who needs ballistic nylon encasing their bathing suit and suntan lotion? Apparently a lot of folks do because the suitcases I saw could withstand any sort of attack, foreign or domestic. Nice to know if, God forbid, the plane goes down, my underwear will remain intact inside my Samsonite. I better be careful what I pack. Somethings are better not found. I finished off my evening with dinner at a Mexican restaurant. That's when the Salsa Shark appeared. If only I had handy my new suitcase that doubles as a shark cage. Oh well, maybe I can try that feature while on vacation.
