(I sincerely hope you haven’t slipped and cut your knee on a New Year’s Day “fitness” hike, come down with the flu, succumbed to a stubborn vocal cord infection and laryngitis, had a collision with a parking garage pole, received a swollen lip from the car door, broken an expensive glass vase in a gift store, and agreed to go to the movie Zero Dark Thirty on your wedding anniversary.)

If so (or worse!)… I feel your pain.

Speaking of pain, here are some Robitussin-induced musings:

“Read any good books lately?” has become “Written any good books lately?”

Cauliflower is not a comfort food.

I’m assuming quinoa is an acquired taste. Tip: Uncooked quinoa makes an excellent packing material for shipping small electronic items.

What is it with women over 50 and cats? Is it hormonal? What would Freud make of it?  Hmm. “Sometimes a pussy cat is just a pussy cat.”

Amazing how potent bad TV and good chocolate is.

Heaven is the ultimate positive reinforcement tool. Talk about delayed gratification.

Did you know Betty Boop is selling mascara?

Why does an animated character need make-up anyway?

What next? Miss Piggy for Spanx?

Is a pun fun or is it a punishment?

    You gave me a good laugh this morning! I love the line about writing versus reading any good books lately. How true and how depressing. Yes, every one and his brother is writing a book right now.
    Oh, and quinoa can be good. Went to a restaurant in FL last week where the chef made it taste like stuffing. It was like a new year’s resolution miracle. Now, I have to try and replicate it so maybe it can help me lose some weight.

      Thanks, Gen. You give me – and quinoa – hope!

    Barb, your brain is a warped reflection of brilliance in a way the every-woman can understand.I am contemplating Betty Boop in Spanx at her surgeon’s office getting Botox and wondering and eating cauliflower. I love your mind! You inspire me my friend. xoxo

      Thanks, Micaela! I appreciate the kind words – especially from an artist of your stature :)

    Well, as you know, my resolutions are “realisms.” ;)
    Now? Off to buy some Betty Boop mascara.

    I have yet to find a recipe that makes me like quinoa. Same with brown rice.

    I think Ms. Piggy would be a spectacular spokesperson, spokepig, spokemuppet or whatever you would call her for Spanx

    Mmm. You are definitely getting more out of the Robitussin than I am.

    My sister and some of her friends had a 3 hour conversation about quinoa. I don’t know how it ended because I jumped off her balcony.
