True Story

Have I ever told you that I loooooooove kids and babies?  Would I like to live with more than one of them?  No!  I'm too lazy and kids are alot of work.  I just like playing with them.  They bring me joy. 

A few years ago someone in the office had a baby and when she emailed the pic to me, I put it up as my desktop background cuz like I said, I LOVE BABIES!  Since then, I've always kept someone's kid on my desktop.  Whenever someone stops by they always want to see whose cute kid is being featured.  Coworkers email me their kids pics regularly so I rotate.  It's always been kids for the last few years.  Whenever I see those innocent eyes it picks up my day.

Until the group blogger photo...

I replaced a cute little 2 yr old girl with Oh Captain's blogger pic and I got quite a few disgruntled comments from parents but the funniest came from a Senior Associate the other day.  This is a divorced guy with no kids and the best way to describe him is "metrosexual".  Always dresses to the nines with every hair in place, usually wearing a tie, although it's NOT required.  You know the type, right?

So he glances at my desktop, sees the pic and says "Oh this must be from the Vegas trip".  Yup!

Then he looks a little closer and says "What a group of people.  They look like they just rolled out of bed."

I explain that yes, most of us did just roll out of bed and most are hung over.  He digests this nugget and responds....

"But still, take a look at that sorry guy....do you actually know him, did you talk to him?"

My answer?

"That's Lightning!  Of course I talked to him! That's my buddy."

True story!

Josie

PS.  I replaced the blogger pic this morning with a couple of Mormon cuties.

He's never seen a guy in a tee shirt and sweatpants before? I mean -- he wears nice clothes while he's walking his poodle and cornholing her afterwards?

This reminds me of a funny incident. I was going to a Chicago Bears game years ago with my brother-in-law, Mark. Interesting thing is that Mark is a classic metrosexual. Anyway, we were bundled up for a winter outside game and were walking toward Soldier Field. We had to cross paths (indoors at McCormick Place) with the crowd in town for the International Kennel Club Dog Show. We walked past one guy who sniffed to his friend,"Well ... we know THEY aren't going to the dog show. Harumfffff."

If you like kids, you can have any of mine, anytime you'd like. I'll keep my boy, but you can have your choice of a 5 year old or a 3 year old. I'll even pay you to take either of them.

Awww I'd take both, but like only for the weekend. Didja see the part about how I don't wanna LIVE with them? :)

Kids really like ME too. Unfortunately I do not have the same effect on adults.

Something about "well dressed" and "blogger" doesn't really go together, does it?

Things like "laid back" and "slacker" seem to go much better.

Oh Mojo, I piss adults off all the time, and I'm always shocked when it happens cuz it's never intentional....

Hmmmm maybe you're like a kid....I do recall that I haven't pissed you off YET.

It was hilarious to hear but I think Lightning looks fine - more than fine actually as he has a great smile. You have to consider the uptight source.

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

The Very Josie was Very fun yet I'm Very frustrated. (looking at you Jordan) We ended up with (13) players.  Not too shabby, considering it was Dank night. The players were: 1. Coop 2. Frankie Baby 3. Gary 4. Jordan 5. Kattitude 6. Lucky Duck 7. Memphis Mojo 8. The Lovely Very Josie 9. WolfsButt, I mean Wolfshead :P 10. Edgie??? 11. GoBurn1 12. My sis, PrettyCat1 a/k/a Cricket 13. Baynes Baynes made an entrance showing up a tiny bit late, but what a pleasant surprise.  I could've kissed that frog!  (frog avatar)  Baynes I think you can leave work at a decent time one a month, right?  The Very Josie is only once a month! 2 tables.  I started off with Mojo, Kat, Edgie, GoBurn1, Baynes & Ducky at my table.  Started off playing good and stayed that way.  Caught some decent cards early on and kept the chips I won.  But that Damn Mojo was a thorn in my side for the whole game.  He got MORE chips early on and held onto them too.  Mojo will now be called Nem
