Apropos of NUTHIN'

An Ode to Manservants

What began as a meal in a tiny bistro
Turned into 3-courses of gut-wrenching laughter.
Our hot latin server, mi nombre Santiago
Tried to offer some queso for "after."

He was offering something to keep us well fed
His motives were honest, most likely sincere
But the shy senorita with tresses of red
Thought indecent proposals were reaching her ear.

He was offering Parmesan sprinkles, its true
But the senorita thought a message was hidden
Was he suggesting something that he'd like to do
Was he promising love most forbidden?

No, the poor lad was doing his job to his best
Which was questionable, I'll give you that...
While we thought he spoke of amore prohibido,
He had said, "You wan chizz wit dat?"

In This Life I've Learned That...

There is no such thing as too many cats, or too many friends. I am blessed with a wealth of each in my life, both old and new. I lift my glass to the four winds & toast my wealth, for the woman who has friends will never know want. Ho-pahhhh!!!!

What Winds your Clock?

Ever have one of those times when you absolutely CANnot come up with a single subject that is clever, poignant, or in any way fascinating (to anyone besides yourself ) enough to discuss?

I started this blog out of desperation-- at the time I was stuck in a job that gave me no mental challenges, had co-workers & a boss who made me want to visit the roof of our office building to perfect my swan-dive technique, and found myself pulled into the center of an enormous wave of drama (none of which was mine). I was circling the mental drain and the constant sucking noise that accompanied my swirlings was lulling me into a coma.

A little over a year later, I'm finding myself at a much more healthy (mentally, physically, intellectually) place than I was when this blog was born. Instead of this being a faceless place to come and "lay mah weary burdens down" it has (for now) evolved into a rather lightweight bulletein board.

But fear not darling reader(s?)... My lack of posting does not represent a lack of interest, but more a lack of time to coagullate my thoughts into quasi coherent posts. At least 85% of the drama that had me swamped has abated, and so I'm finding myself occupied by more pressing matters (read here: WORK) these days. A few tidbits have bobbed through my bean in recent days, and as soon as I can give them more attention I'll post my oddball musings for your entertainment. Until then, content yourself by reading my archives (Lordy, does that sound pretentious). I may not have been as prolific as Pepys, documenting every thought / respiration / meal / misadventure that happens in my life, but there have been a few moments that might be worth revisiting (especially if this is the first time you've staggered by and are saying, "Does she ever do anything more than post old, tired e-mail jokes?) As the saying goes: Keep coming back!

NOTE: It would seem that most of the posters on BWTP (Blog World Trailer Park) have also hit comparable plateaus in their posting habits. Either life has kept them too busy to post, or they simply ran out of inspiration and the world will just have to keep holding it's collective breath until their muses come back from vacation and they start posting again. Nyah, nyah nyah... I'm not the onliest non-poster out there!
