Besos and Sesame Street, Eggs, Masked Men, Natalie Morales…and dinner.
1. I said something remarkably stupid to Besos. Here’s the thing…sometimes I forget that she’s Mexican. I realize that sounds stupid. But I forget. (Hey, pretty women do this to me…) Until at one point last weekend, I looked at her and sort of did a double take. She said, “What?” I said, “Sometimes I forget that you’re Mexican.” I could sense her resisting the urge to groan or roll her eyes. She said, “What?!” I said, “I forget and then I look at you and you look distinctly Mexican and then I realize that it’s like…it’s like I’m dating Maria from Sesame Street.”
I know. I know.
I’m an idiot.
2. Do extra-large eggs come from extra-large chickens? Or does the same size chicken lay different sizes of eggs, which are sorted later?
3. This morning, on the news, a reporter said, “Three masked men banged on the front door and burst in…and that’s when things turned bad.” I don’t know. I think the turn happened a little earlier, myself.
4. Emma Thompson is out. I have a new soccer mom crush. It’s Natalie Morales from The Today Show.
5. Boss and I went out to eat last night. She had a mango martini. We each had a nice calamari salad. Diver scallops for dinner.
Just a random attorney writing about daily life with Little Filthy, my rotten dog.

1. You, my dear friend, are hilarious. I like that she knows you well enough at this point to either just groan or roll her eyes. HAHA.
2. Why? WHY? Where DO these random puzzling thoughts come from? Maybe you aren’t challenged enough at work? hahah
3. I like masked men… er… I mean… tee hee
4. HA. So fickle
5. Mmmm…

1. Did you have a crush on Maria from Sesame Street? I mean, was this a COMPLIMENT? I don’t know that I would take it as a compliment, Mexican or not. Perhaps it was more the fact that you didn’t say Penelope Cruz or someone sexy like that, but rather a sort of authority figure / babysitter type person from a children’s program. Perhaps that is the question here? ha ha
2. If chickens are anything like women, they carry those eggs to term (if they are lucky), and each gestation period is unique unto itself, which means each egg is unique. Some will be big, and MOTHERS to lay, and some will be little and petite and cute, and not so difficult to lay, but always struggling to be noticed. hardy har
3. The masks alone, man. That’s just messed up anyway.
4. No one compares to Emma. Sorry. End of story. Well - okay, maybe Penelope, but she’s not really a soccer mom. I think Michelle Pfeiffer takes her kids to soccer. AND she doesn’t wear any makeup and looks impeccably gorgeous.
5. yum
hee hee!!!

1. Is that a compliment? I guess it depends on how you felt about Maria from SS
My ex had a habit of describing me as “plump,” which he thought was hot….made me feel like a cow and the word it self, “plump” makes me kind of vomit into my mouth. Hot dogs are plump. I don’t know. I kind of went off topic. But still. What you said could’ve been worse 
2. To the best of my knowledge, I believe it’s different breeds laying different sized eggs? Growing up on the farm we had all kinds of different chickens and they all laid different eggs.
5. I don’t know what any of that is, but it sure looks fancy. My idea of a nice dinner is Azteca XD

I MISS YOU!

Mango martinis (or mangotinis as I call them, because some day I’m going to be late for something and be able to make up the time by having consistently bypassed that “mar” syllable my whole life) have been my undoing many, MANY a night.
Hope Boss had a fun time coming undone.

1. You are a dork. A lovable dork…but you definitely are ranking on the noob scale with that one
I would be careful or the next time you’re in the heat of the moment she might start singing…”one two threeeee four five, six seven eeeeiiiight nine ten. ELEVEN TWELVE!!” (please say I’m not the only one who remembers that song from S. Street)
2. Different eggs - size, color, etc. come from different chickens as far as I remember. It’s been a long time since I’ve dug under a chicken butt to get an egg.
3. Is it mean that this totally made me laugh out loud?
5. Sometimes I’m glad I’m allergic to seafood. Whatever is on that salad kinda scares me…

SnarkyRunner:
1. I tend to do better with people who can ignore half of what I say.
2. Is it that weird of a thing to think or say? Don’t you wonder about these things?
3. Ooo.
4. Dude, have you SEEN Natalie Morales?
July 19th, 2008 at 10:47 am
MsCheevious -
1. Um, no, I guess I didn’t have a crush on Maria. I’m just an idiot.
With issues? heh.
2. Do the eggs get bigger the longer they are inside or are they sort of pre-determined sizes, you think?
4. Ooo, I didn’t realize you were such an Emma fan. Look, I’m not saying I wouldn’t Nanny McPhee the woman. I’m just sayin’ that Natalie Morales makes me want to bite her.
xo right back atcha.

Chivahn - I don’t know if it’s a compliment. I liked Maria, though! “Hot dogs are plump” - that made me laugh!
2. That sounds right to me.

Mamaphunk - Let’s have a phone date. Followed by phone sex. And then you can hang up in a hurry.

Heather - Hi there!
Boss had two mangotinis. My GOD, that *does* save time.
Anyway - not enough to come undone. I’ll try harder next time.

Tiffany -
1. Yeah, that was a classic idiot/dork move. And I completely remember that song. Remember following that ball around the pin-ball machine, as it banged into everything?
2. I’ve never reached under a chicken. Could be teeth down there.
3. Nope. Schadenfreude, baby!
5. The scallop? Mmmm, it was good.

Tiffany - Oh wait, you mean the squid. Heh. Yeah, they were good, too. Mmmmm.
