Even I know not to mess with a Queen....

Joke of the Day:
(And this is Lady Chablis, of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil fame. She's fabulous --and also goes by the name Frank.)

Don't Argue With The Gay Flight Attendant
My flight was being served by an obviously gay flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks.

As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us "Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super."

On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed an extremely well-dressed and exotic young woman hadn't moved a muscle. "Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground."

She calmly turned her head and said, "In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders from no one."

To which the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, "Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I outrank you. Tray up, Bitch."

It was bound to happen someday...

Usually when I ask Sadie if she wants to sing the Alphabet Song, she eagerly begins, "A, B, C, D...." And usually, she's smiling.

This morning I asked her if she wanted to sing the Alphabet Song, and she looked me straight in the eye and said,

"No."

Then I asked her if she was ready for the day.

"No."

Then she walked away from me in a huff.

I understand. She wasn't feeling well and had a bit of a tummy ache the past two days. But it was the first verbal "Mom, shut it and bugger off" from my adorable daughter. I'm sure it is the first of many.

Two of my many favorite things in life are...

Books and cartoons. This one puts the two together.

I've been summoned to the Castle again...

... and I always feel honored to go peeking into the places only employees can go. Here's your educational moment of the day... You can also buy Richard Kurin's book Hope Diamond: The Legendary History of a Cursed Gem




He interviewed me for my job. And he gave me a nice piece of chocolate. He's cool like that.
