I Won't Make This Mistake Again (Hopefully)

-
I found a nice little surprise in my work backpack this morning. Any guesses as to what this may be?

It's not baby food, apple sauce, or poo.

It smelled bad.

Its skin was worse than its guts.










I'm a Dole Banana and I'm here to say,
I rotted in your bag while you were away.
I was green in the store when I was sold,
But now I'm all nasty and covered with mold.

Yep. Those things are nasty after leaving them in your bag or pocket. And the smell is GROSS.

Ha ha I left one on my desk at work before taking a four day weekend! Really looking forward to that tomorrow morning.

I thought it was a hook and bait in the bag at first, but then thought, why would you have THAT in the bag. Ahhh, a very very bad banana. Makes sense now.

I totally knew what that was...I found one in a project room I inherited once.

I also thought the first pic might be an animal of some sort, and then thought hopefully the bag is washable. Then saw the real culprit & read your poem and almost peed my pants! Still hope the bag is washable.

dammit, forgot my password again

It was not a nice surprise Tara.

Thanks Ronia. I wanted to add the line "Take a bite, if you dare. I'll wind up on your underwear" but I thought that might be too fresh.

And it took me over a week to notice KMae. Glad I was working from home yesterday.

Update Susan! Did you find it or did someone toss it out for you before you got to it?

Very bad indeed Jude. Naughty banana. Hey - that should be a strip club name.

Oh Lilli! It's bad enough when it is your own but to inherit someone else's is very bad!

The bag survived Barb, thank you. A little cleaning up and airing out and all is well!

hahahahahahaha! I brought a banana with me to the drive-in one time. Forgot about it and it got all squished in the blankets.

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

Things For Which To Be Thankful

My two nieces have had some health issues lately. First E was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. She ended up with a five day stay. Then my other niece S spent twelve hours in the ER due to a pain in her side (no, it wasn't me). Not feeling up to par can really bring you down. So I am sending them both some well wishes here today and hopefully convincing them that there are worse things in life. There is 80's hair: Oh, and a couple of more things to add to the list: red shag carpet and wrist corsages. Rock me like a hurricane girls, but you sure are pretty in pink (and black). Hey - didn't you have a cat that got lost at one point. I think I see it. ADDENDUM - THOSE PICTURES ARE NOT OF ME. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. TO BE FAIR, I HAVE POSTED MY 80'S PIC BELOW:
