I kind of just wanted to say "Schipperkee"

Four hundred and fifty dollars later, Tallulah is home from the vet.

You know, I stole this dog for free. I can only imagine people who spent eleventy billion dollars on that purebred Schipperkee or whatever, and then they have to go out and get bowls and flea meds and neutering and all the crap I had to get on TOP of  the eleventy billion.

Man.

Anyway, she is home and she is subdued but appears relatively unscathed from her womanhood being torn from her in such a barbaric fashion.

Speaking of which, one of Marvin's students made me a Mother's Day card, which I think is kind of nice. Either she assumes everyone who is over 15 is a mom, or she somehow knows I am cat and dog mom.

Oh, and that reminds me. My friend Coffeegal has a baby bird from the nest on her porch, and she has another on the way. Guess what the next baby's name is? June! I am tickled to death. You know how I am about birds.

And yes, we did have a tornado here in Greensboro last night, which I slept through even though it touched down and someone died and everything. I guess I am a heavy sleeper. At any rate, I saw all the warnings and such on the TV, there, but folks, I grew up in Michigan where there is a tornado every 15 minutes. So I wasn't too concerned.

But you know what did worry me? The baby geese at my work. You don't know how I wanted to drive over and put them all in the car, which I'm sure would not have resulted in my soft spot being pecked off by mama goose or anything.

It turns out the tornado didn't even come near my work, although I did not see those babies all day. The grown-up pecky geese, however, were around and flying a lot. I do not know why. I do not know from geese habits.

But while we're talking about work, there is a woman at work who DOES NOT GET ME. At all.

She has been having terrible allergy problems, and at this point she is pretty much hoarse. She can barely croak out a syllable. So today I asked her, "So. You going to that yodeling contest this weekend?"

She said, "No. Why?"

Sigh.

So then I had to explain how I was KIDDING, because she is HOARSE and would not WIN a yodeling contest even remotely.

That was first thing this morning. As she creaked along with no voice whatsoever, at the end of the day I said, "Okay, have a good weekend. Enjoy the karaoke bar."

Again, she looked at me blankly.

I really should just sit in my office and not speak.

Ok, maybe you couldn't hear the tornado over the roar of your teeth grinding! Or do you still do that?

[dcrmom]

She clearly has NO sense of humor. Forget her. So there. :-)

[Nancy@mycraftylittlepage]

Gosh,June. Wait until you're 60 and say things like the yodeling remark - people really won't get you! Been there. I love it so keep it up.

[annie]

Ok maybe that lady grew up in a cave. I would have peed my pants from laughing if you said that to me. I am envious of your humor because I doubt I would have thought of that myself!

[Sister Honey Bunch]

You are so doggone funny. I love that she doesn't get you though. That's pure entertainment right there, I tell ya.

[Ree]

Please come back to Michigan. We need laughter and joy and oh mah holy hell, we need sarcasm from someone other than me and my 16-year-old. Especially GOOD sarcasm.

[Darla]

I hear ya on the tornadoes every 15 minutes. We haven't had a warning in a few years, personally I think they gave up on us, we get in our cars and ride around when they let us in on the "action". LOL

Oh toooooo funny about your co-worker. Maybe we should all think of things for you to say to her. We could get you in so much trouble. =0

Glad Tula is home and safe.

I thought you comments to your co-worker were funny. Some people just don't get it. As for the tornadoes, I hate this time of the year because of the threats. Hope you fur baby does well.

I'm jealous--I wish I worked with you and get weird emails and odd humor. Maybe because I like to give it--especially to my unsuspecting in-laws--all the time. My brother-in-law so doesn't get me.

Now you have to think of lots of really inappropriate things to say to that lady and then report them all back to us.

[Stephanie]

I believe you should come work with me. I would laugh at your jokes - promise.

There's a severe lack of laughter in my office.
