My Favorite Things

-

Models in poses and gin from Great Britain,

tight summer t-shirts that show of your tittens,

white takeout styrofoam full of hot wings,

these are a few of my favorite things.


Gold colored Yorkies but not dancing Poodles,

hair gels and sport gels and notepads with doodles.

Blue pouches that carry a Tiffany ring,

these are a few of my favorite things.


Dykes on big Harley's with loud pipes that do scream,

cute Femmes that ride on the back of those machines,

silver white hair that the years often bring,

these are a few of my favorite things.


When the wine spills, when your kid steals,

when you're drunk a tad,

Just simply remember Martini Cartwheels,

and then you won't feel so bad.



Apologies to Julie Andrews and the Von Trapps for mangling this otherwise beautiful song.

Hmmm, unless you know something I don't Laine, I wasn't expecting anything from Tiffany. Love those little blue bags and pouches!

Thank you Tara! I'm hoping that if there is a Sound Of Music 2, I am in the running for lead lyricist. Or at least in consideration to play Liesl.

That was great!
I tried out for Liesel in college & they actually gave the part to a 16yr old HIGH SCHOOL student. I was so pissed. I would have made a fabulous Liesel! Except for the singing thing.... Oh well.

Ok, I'm so in! I love this blog. I found you through another blog I follow. I have an adorable yorkie and an incredible Harley! Oh, and I also have a standard poodle, but she doesn't dance. So I'm here to stay.

Ha Pawsing! Yes, I should find a von Trapp dress and make a vid. That would make me chuckle.

KMae I can see you as the perfect Leisel. What were they thinking?

Thanks Em. I can picture it now. And it's not pretty, lol. Maybe if I got get all of you ladies to help me sing...

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     ...

Commuting Tips - How to Make The Drive More Fun

Today is Saturday, which means I get a break from driving to my job in Boston. I love what I do and I honestly don't hate my commute. By the end of the week however, I can get fairly tired from the trip. So, in order to stay sharp on my drive, I've adopted the following strategy to make things more fun,interesting and bearable. Talk on the phone. Talk a lot. And don't use your blue-tooth wireless set up either. It's more challenging getting in and out of Boston if you have one hand on the wheel and one up to your ear. Send text messages. Nothing says 'I love you' like a text message sent from a friend while navigating bumper to bumper traffic on the Mass Pike. My preferred technique - look down and type, look up for a quick lane check, back down again to type. Scan the newspaper. No better time to get caught up on the days events than while you are just sitting in your car doing nothing. Take mini-naps. Once you establish a path of travel, throw on the cruise co...
