elizabeth: I went to feed our dog in the sunroom. I saw something on the floor and I tapped it. It moved. On its own. It was a bee. A bee in January? Last week I stepped on something and it stung me. It was a bee. In January. I dropped the pile of newspapers on it. End of bee in  January. And no, I could not put it outside. It was too cold for it to survive. So a friend calls and I tell her what happened. Are you sure it was a bee? You can’t have bees in January. It couldn’t have been a bee.  Oh really Einstein? When I am hallucinating, bees rarely show up. Double-headed dragons that devour people that ask questions like that do make an appearance. We made lunch plans. The dragons are driving.

Laurie: I jumped up bright and early on January 18th because I had so many things that had to be done before early deadlines. Usually my 9 AM coaching client receives my scintillating expertise and skill while I plod around my apartment in my jammies, headset atop my head and phone in my pocket. Not today – I need to pick up a package downstairs in my mailroom before 10 AM. Jumped in the shower and amidst lather and 60’s music, it occurred to me that there was no mail today because it is a Federal holiday. Oh well, I will seize the day and get an early start. My 9 AM client tells me she will have to cut the call short due to a family emergency. So 9:15 AM, I am all dressed up with nowhere to go. And it’s only Monday.

elizabeth: I walked down to the basement where my husband was working and before I could ask him a question, he says, “I need a six inch nipple.” Well who doesn’t? For the record, it is a plumbing fitting. Yeah, right.

Laurie: Good grief, I have enough trouble with sagging boobs. Six inch nipples would only aggravate the problem.

elizabeth: I was not intending this to be an animal blog but while I was writing this blog and Minnie, my 17 year old cat, jumped up on the printer and she turned on the printer with her butt. I showed her how to do that. What was even more impressive is that as she laid there she made two copies.

Laurie: Think Minnie would be interested in learning how to pick up packages from the post office?
