It's funny how the brain works

 Earlier today, I was taking a break while working from home.  I went to the kitchen to get a snack, but when I returned to my office, I realized I didn't have my glasses.  No biggie.  I figured I'd get them the next time I took a break.

But when I went out later, I couldn't find them.  I looked all over the place.  I went back into the office and looked around, to no avail.  

I hopped into my work chair and decided to see if my husband would help me look for them when he got home.  

My gaze drifted down to my desk, and that's when the case for my glasses caught my eye.  Noooo.  It couldn't be that easy, could it?  I picked up the case and cracked it open.  Yep.  There they were, nestled RIGHT WHERE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE!

I immediately started muttering to myself.  (I do that a lot.) "So.", I said.  "So, so suck your toe, all the way to Mexico.  When you're there, cut your hair, and shove it down your underwear."  What?  Where in the world did THAT come from?  I can't remember where I put my glasses a half hour ago, but a weird rhyme from my childhood just pops into my head for no reason.

Shut my mouth and call me silent; brains are weird.

Pittie Prankster


My job is a hybrid position, so I often work from home.  One of the things I enjoy about working from home is coming out of my office for a break and traveling around the living room, kissing furbabies along the way.

Our pittie boy, Rex, is our wild child.  Even when he's stationary, he's wiggling around, snorting, grunting, or posing.  He does have allergies though, so he sometimes sneezes or sounds like he is hacking up a furball.

Earlier this week, I was working in the office when I heard Rex hacking up a furball.  I decided it was time for a break anyway and went out to check on everyone.  Rex was posing upside down on the loveseat like his normal weirdo self.  I made a "pitstop" and came out of the bathroom to find him in the exact same pose – highly unusual.

I called to him:  "Rex, are you dead over there?"
Rex: <not a muscle twitching>
Me: "Hey, Rex, are you ok?"
Rex:
Me: <worried> "Hey, Rex!!" <poke poke poke>
Rex: <head pops up so I can see his eyes> "Gotcha, mommy!" <grin>
Me: "DON'T YOU EVER SCARE MOMMY LIKE THAT EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Stinky



Every two weeks, I look forward to my bestie spending the afternoon with me.  Today we were relaxing next to a cozy fire and watching shows.  

We both had our feet up and my bestie had taken off her shoes to get comfy.  After a while, she started putting her shoes back on.  I asked her what was up since it wasn't cold in the room or anything.

She put her shoe up to her nose and started sniffing.  What in the world, I thought.  Was my bestie finally becoming as much of a weirdo as I am?  

Then she assured me that she had taken a shower today but that her feet were stinky for some reason.  I usually have a very sensitive sniffer, but I was not smelling her feet from where I was sitting.  

Then it dawned on me.  I glanced under her footrest and yep, our pittie boy, Rex, was sprawled out right under her feet.  She thought she smelled super-stinky feet, but in reality, she was smelling our super-stinky dog.  

I laughed and laughed and laughed.  Then I went into the office to tell my husband and laughed some more.

I guess it's time for Rex to have a shower!
