See How I Did That?

Why is it that my daughter Polly finds slugs disgusting, yet she will hold a snail and declare how cute he is and can she keep him? I mean, does the shell make one cute? Would a cute little turtle be ugly without his shell? Never mind, I just answered my own questions. Turtles aren’t cute, and I think I remember seeing Franklin without a shell during the days when I had to read the same books over and over to my kids until I thought I’d scream and he wasn’t cute either. Of course I could have said no, but back then I was very worried about being a wonderful mom. Now I am just hoping In Treatment comes back on soon because I want Gabriel Burne , sexually. I am like one of his patients, except I am not a doctor.

Speaking of doctors, a coworker of mine had an asthma attack the other night at work and then he started having a panic attack because he couldn’t breathe. I snapped at him, asking where his inhaler was. He replied that he kept it at home because he didn’t want to rely on it. If I had asthma I’d have an inhaler around my neck on a dog chain. I’d probably carry another one in my purse in case of malfunction.

I told him my CPR was rather rusty and he laughed and I offered him a Klonopin. I probably made the right decision when I decided not to go to Nursing School.

Speaking of shells, this would be a great time for a “to circumcise or not to circumcise?” fight in my comments. I personally agree with the idea of letting your son make the choice himself. As for looking at penises, I am indifferent. I don’t really have much interest in looking at penises. When I was in second grade my eldest sister took me to Plaid Pantry and led me to the Kool-Aid section. I thought she was going to buy Kool-Aid and I was all excited because my Mom only gave us juice, water or milk. Or tea, or beer. Pop on special occasions.Forget it, I was writing about penises. My sister reached way back and pulled out some magazine and opened it up to a naked man. He was sitting there looking off to the side with that expression on his face, who me? I am not sitting on this chair naked. I screamed when I realized what I was seeing and pointed at the picture and yelled out, “Oh my god! It’s a slug!” My sister shoved the magazine back as she clapped her hand over her mouth to cover the laughter.

Hi Bonnie! I have been trying to write and now changes are afoot with the job schedule, so I might actually have time to do so.
Gabriel Burne, oh my. The accent alone does me in. I want to him read me bedtime stories.

I dig Gabriel. John Turturro is My Man, though. (You know, I just realized they’re both in Miller’s Crossing, and Gabriel wins over John by a long shot as far as those characters go.)

As far as circumcision goes, I don’t care. Once it’s erect it’s the same scene, so speaking from a purely female in need perspective I’m all good. But obviously you’re speaking from a maternal/health/social perspective, so my opinion might not weigh in too heavily.

Glad to read you, and GO JOHN!

I wonder why chicks dig gnarly looking dudes, and most guys who aren’t me don’t dig gnarly looking chicks. What’s with that? I mean clearly it’s just one of those gender role things that goes way deeper than just societal roles, but it’s always made me wonder.

I’m all for circumcision. I got the snip snip as a baby, but I’ve talked with guys who haven’t, specifically my best friend. It’s not a big deal really, but we men are lazy creatures when it comes to personal hygiene, and that extra little flap requires a few extra seconds of cleaning in the shower which if ignored can lead to major junk stink. Less is more when it comes to cleaning yourself, I say lose the hoodie.
