Celebrating Paris!
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

Photo Day 279: Warning...T-M-I (7.6.11)
I usually ask why or how when I come across something new. Not today.
I DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
EVER.
Mentally I have my eyes closed, hands covering my ears, and am singing la-la-la-la-la-la-la!!
I'm officially damaged for life by this sign! Seriously....wayyy traumatized! This is one of those things never to be spoken of again.

Photo Day 277: Surely not me...Mr. Officer (7.4.11)
20mph over the speed limit. $250 speeding ticket? Nope. FL Highway Patrol let the Q-Tip off the hook with only a warning! So what's that all about...yet another senior citizen discount???

What's a biscoff anyway?
The jury is still out. I'm not quite convinced that airline cookies aren't just individually packaged dog biscuits. But I'm more troubled by the fact that I decided to eat them anyway.

Photo Day 275: Cat thoughts (7.2.11)
Are you kidding me?!?! I'm a cat. Not to be confused with the dog. I DO NOT meow on command. Or anything else for that matter. Not even for treats! You humans take so long to train....

I'm not calling...you call.
Grown kids never quite grow up. Our bribes just get better when you have to bail us out. Empty promises to mow the yard have been replaced with actual desserts from The Cheesecake Factory. But in our defense, we needed to make sure that The Club really would keep the car from being stolen. Yep...it totally works as advertised. However, next time we'll make sure to have the key on hand. But you must admit that cheesecake was amazing and worth the trip to rescue us...

Catnip???
Paris got a new toy.
Package said it was catnip.
Looks kinda sketchy.
I really, really hope that it actually is a ball of catnip.
However, I do live in a city that is very...ummm...herbal...
Photo Day 273: What's that...smell?! (6.30.11)
My new shoes smell like new shoes. O' thank goodness for that. Let's just say that the old ones, that I still love and are in perfectly good shape, don't smell like new shoes anymore. Ever wear Keds all summer without socks? Not good. But I knew it was finally time for new shoes when the basement asked me to move the old ones to the garage. Hummmm...that bad, ehh?

Photo Day 272: Invading FL (6.29.11)
Apologies to my fellow Floridians for bringing yet another plane full of tourists your way. Including a whole boyscout troup dressed in full uniform. And 4 screaming babies who formed their own chorus before we even left the ground. Then perfected their harmonies during a 3 hour in-flight concert. Lucky me.
No worries though. The extreme heat and humidity along with 3rd degree sunburns will send 'em all back home. Just hopefully not on my flight!
