Looters Beware!


Good thing he's got the ugly woman in case the claw hammer fails him!

I don't know anyone that lives in New Orleans or the surrounding areas (well my husband has an uncle by marriage - we think they are still married - he lives in that area). ANYway, it breaks my heart to see the photos of the devastation and to hear people talk about it. I've never been a "I MUST live by the sea/ocean" person. I'm not a big fan of large bodies of water. I'm an excellant swimmer, I just don't like swimming with other live things though dogs are ok. I also know the dangers of living on the coast. Before we moved to Germany in 1990, we visited a bunch of friends and family all along the eastern seaboard. It was right after Charleston, SC got hit with Hurricane Hugo. I was in shock to see boats a 1/2 mile inland. The devastation down there was nothing compared to Katrina. When I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around something, I try to picture myself in their shoes. I cried so much last night while watching a story about a woman who had a baby then got split up from him during evacuations and her husband's 97 yr old grandfather was missing from his nursing home. They found the baby and the grandfather in Houston. Happy ending but still, imagine if that was you and your newborn. Tell me you aren't tearing up thinking about how you would feel in that situation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims as well as survivors. Please be safe and may you find some peace in this desperate time of need.

Nice To Meet You

Hi. I just got here last week. They call me the Littlest Little. I'm glad to be here and I'm sure I'll be seein' ya around. This my mama. She's always telling me that she loves me and is so blessed to have me in her life. Sometimes she cries. Wait, that's all the time. Someone should get her a tissue or two or a box. This is my daddy. See my pinky here? He's wrapped around it already. I don't think he minds though. This is Fluffy and she's the coolest auntie there is. Her little girl, Monkey? I dig that one. Hopefully she and I can be the best of friends. It's my uncle, Pedro Juan. Everyone says I'm a mellow baby and that he was the same way when he was but a baby. That's cool with me. I love my Peej. Hopefully I'll have photos of me with my cousins and siblings tomorrow. And Uncle Kota? Mama is trying to find the picture of us together. She's not all that fast on the uptake. Cut her some slack though k? If she gets her poop in...

Customer Appreciation Day

Dear Crotchety Broad, While I love my job and think it's the easiest one in the world to have, I do not think dealing with your ass was easy. Here are some highlights from my fabulous time with you: When your cashier is ringing up your precious produce, putting the codes in (from memory thank you very much), don't start trash talking her. I didn't hear you ask if I needed help because, well, um, I was busy ringing your shit up. When I look up because I heard something , don't look at me and say, " HELLO??" all sarcastic and shit. I will squish your tomatos, avocados and bread. When I ask if you have coupons, that's generally a sign that I am not a mind reader, can't see in your purse and can't predict the future (contrary to what you may think dear customer). As a refresher, here's our coversation: Loverly Cashier: Did you have any coupons today ma'am? (and that ma'am part may or may not have been choked out of my throat) Crotchety Broa...
