The best part of my day today was spent in the greeting card aisle. I was looking for birthday cards and stumbled upon a gold mine. Unfortunately, I have to hold on to the cards for a while, because most of my friends have just recently celebrated their birthdays. Alice is a prime example. Her actual birthday was in October and her according to me birthday (birthday, Arbor day, what’s the difference?) was in April. She didn’t seem to mind the erroneous card and gift in April, so I may actually give her another soon.
While walking around the store, I found a good amount of reminders of some of my blog entries and other entries of sorts. The safety recall notice in the mop section made me think,”I bet there are some people who wish they’d had the luxury of a simple safety recall notice.”
I made my way to work and got the pleasure of chatting with ROFL. Being that he is into all things www, I regularly reference my blog when speaking with him. He regularly has no idea what I am talking about. Today was no different, except that ROFL made a commitment to read my blog and comment, maybe. Nothing like a maybe commitment.
Except, regifting. Regifting is about as good as a maybe commitment. With today being a friend’s birthday, I decided to regift No Action Jaxon. I gave him a nice bath, tied a green for recycling/regifting ribbon around his neck, put all of his goodies in a basket and sent a picture of this lovely ensemble to the recipient. I’m sure she is ecstatic. Hopefully he doesn’t come back this way. If he does, it’s no more No Action Jaxon or J.R. Muffnstuf – his name will have to be changed, to Boomerang.
no action jaxon is one of two things:
a) an anchor baby
b) your dog
just sayin’
came home today to this:
1) no dog
2) house completely unlocked
luckily i was not in the mood for a robbery because that shit could have happened without forced entry.
Wow. So I read your first blog, well I guess not your first blog, but the first one I read. I have to say it sparked interest but you lost me with your supporting cast. I feel like I have to start at the beginnining to catch up. I guess I am in for some intense reading. I will see you in 18 days of February.
Mr. Interested, I am glad you are interested and I’m sorry my supporting cast lost you. You’ll find a good portion of the cast make repeat appearances. Some may even be leading cast at times. Very intense reading, that is for sure. Looking forward to seeing you in 18 days of February – there weren’t 28 days, because it was leap week for me this year.
Can I pick your next birthday? Okay, I am on it.
Of course! I’m so excited, I feel born again!
as you know, area man is a lover of animals. all types. so I am somewhat saddened to hear that our mutual friend no action jaxon is no longer leaving his boots under your bed. I will however offer words of advice to prevent future heartbreak:
a) never agree to watch anyone’s animal, for any amount of time.
b) never agree to watch my daughter’s cat.
would you like to watch my daughter’s cat?
I do know you are a lover of animals. I remember you helping me pose the little pups for checkers photos.
Although it is sad No Action Jaxon is no longer here, those weren’t boots he was leaving under my bed.
I appreciate the words of advice. Very sound. Did someone share this wisdom with you at some point in your life?
How did you end up with your daughter’s cat? Are you receiving any sort of foster care subsidies for providing the care?
