Aliens, Timbertoes, David Spade

Well, okay, I guess I'll post every day, then.

Honest, you guys, I wasn't fishing for compliments, but thanks so much for all your nice words! I just didn't want to be all, ugh, too much to read on this site.

But y'all raised a good point. How the heck HAVE I lost weight while eating the crap I eat? I guess it's the running, but man. Imagine if I were eating well. I would look like Mrs. Timbertoes.

Does anyone else remember the Timbertoes from Highlights magazine?

Actually, she looks a little hippy in this picture, but I think her dress doesn't do her justice. Or maybe she's bloated from that picnic. Normally she's stick thin. Get it? Timbertoes? Stick? I am hilarious.

What's up with Mr. T's ensemble? Did someone lose in the feces throw, or was he shot multiple times with a cannon?

Anyway, it is 8:00 at night, and in two hours I have to put away Tallulah's food and water, so she is all set for her big David Spade moment tomorrow. My poor girl. She will be gone all night, and I pick her up Friday afternoon. It's gonna be weird here without her. She is my roommate. Who's gonna borrow my clothes and eat the yogurt behind my back?

I have not called my new dog park friend yet; I didn't want to seem too eager. I am playing it cool. I'll probably drunk dial her at 2 a.m.

Okay, I have to go proofread some more. I got home and there was ANOTHER proofing job on my doorstep, along with a package from my father. He was in Roswell, New Mexico, so naturally he picked me up an alien head coffee mug, which I am totally taking to work as my work mug. Cause I gotta be the weird coworker, remember?

Oh man I would be so all over that alien coffee mug. Especially if my dad sent it to me.

Good luck to Tallulah with the whole surgery thing. You will also have that recovery period to deal with. When she lies on the couch and watches Jerry Springer and Maury Povich and you have to bring her chocolates and soup and Cosmo magazine and stuff.

Wow! that takes me back. The Timertones, I have vague memories of their stories. It sounds like you are settling in well in Gboro. I hope to catch up in person sometime soon. Big hugs to Tallulah.

We .. by "we" I mean us two and my sister and bro-in-law who (or is that whom) are visiting from Australia .. oh yeah .. we .. just got home from Las Vegas .. *sigh* .. so I haven't been able to keep up with your daily blogs. So I'm late with this comment but here it is anyway .. I'm with the girls and boys about enjoying reading you daily .. so you can't even think about cutting back. If need be we shall speak to your boss about that pesky job getting in the way of blogging .. cos we just won't have it.
I hope Lulla goes well with her surgery. If dogs are anything like humans who have had hysterectomies she can't even pick up a broom for 6 weeks so you will have to be doing all that housework stuff yourself.

So glad we will meet daily then. Glad that is settled. Right here is just fine, if you DID want to come to my blog EVER, that would be good too, just sayin....

Wish you were my crazy coworker, cept I work alone, so then you would be a figment of my imagination and that would not be good.

I remember them! I used to go through the highlights books looking for them. Hope everything goes ok with Tallulah.

Running will do it. Too bad I hate it.

1) I have been to Roswell NM and am now the proud owner of an alien spaceship christmas ornament. I don't think they let you leave there without buying something alien related. PS I have seen the alien autopsy!
2) I am the crazy coworker at my job. Welcome to the fold!

[Jane @ What About Mom?]

I miss my weird coworkers from before, when I got to go see grownups everyday. Now I get to see you online often, and that is pretty darn neat.

I am TOTALLY the crazy co-worker (when I have worked captive in an office; now I pretty much work for myself) but really why I wrote was to place another vote for daily posting. kthxbai.

[Mary Ellen from Napa]

Please post every day, I really look forward to reading your blog.

Good job on the weight loss! Guess it just takes some time to really register.

[Doodles]

Mrs. Timbertoes looks like she could be related to Olive Oil, don't ya think? Maybe they're distant cousins!

Glad you decided to post everyday! Whew!

[Saginawman!]

I had read in the Highlight Inquirer that after a long and drawn out divorce, Mrs. Timbertoe married Goofus.

As long as she didn't run off with that wimpy Gallant.
