I missed reading the blogs yesterday. 

My old employer called and asked me to come in and do some additional training for my replacement and her new boss.  Being the wonderful person I am, and licking my lips over the extra bucks, I  agreed.  I put in a solid day trying to impart in eight hours what took me 8 years to learn.

My old cubicle was as cold as ever.   A  point  I'd forgotten when I decided to show off my new  "retired"  clothes.   I froze most of the day in a lightweight jacket and thin socks..  The post nasal drip I've been battling for 6 weeks  turned into a full fledged cold.  My eyes and right nostril are doing a fine job of trying to clear my head.  My left nostril hasn't caught onto the fact that "We have a COLD here!"  and is performing in a non cold manner.

I was supposed to go back and do additional training today but called and told them I was exercising my retirees perogative an staying in bed all day.  Since  I'm not sick enough to sleep, I soon got bored. 

With nothing else to do,  I reread the want ads from beginning to end.  Maybe I'm high on Thera Flu, but some of the ads hit my funnybone.

to wit:

1.  A reward is being offered for the safe return of a "lost" GPS.  It was last seen 1/4 mile from Hart Ave on Famoso /Porterville Hwy south of Woolmes (sp?).

2.  A Santa advertises that he is available for house visits at $50/visit.  He assures us  that he is "kid friendly".

3.  A clipart image of a jolly Santa with his bag full of toys promises "naughty girls" who will show up at your door. 

4.  If you're looking for a dancer/escort that can show up at the last minute, look for the clipart image of a ivy covered Christmas bell with the mysterious message "hips, lips and tips". 

It's all so Christmassy!

This is the salutation on many   E-mails I receive each week from a family member.

Bean and Droopy are two family nick names  Bean is short for Beanie and Droopy is short for Droopy Drawers. 

 We also have a Bottleneck, Miss Chick, Quack, Rosebud, Bubbylicious, Catalina and my personal favorite, Aunt Pootie, to name a few.

Care to share your families closet names for each other?  Do you have a nick name that's fit to print?
