…about otters.
Okay, and other things too.
Every once and a while I have to do a post which doesn’t get down to brass tacks. It is not easy for me to do that. It about kills me. But I’m going to give it a go here. I’m going to put my solution to an anonymous problem here instead of ranting about the problem itself.
When I want to kill myself or others with a hammer, cheese grater, potato peeler or other hideous implement of death (for whatever reason) these are the things I think about in an attempt to keep sane:
- Otters. Yep, always at the top of my list.
- The fact that I have all 10 fingers and type pretty darn fast (though my keyboard has 2 keys which you really have to press hard on: S and Shift. Drives me CRAZY as it gives me unwarranted typos sometimes and you know how I am about my own typos!!
Mom shoulda known if I was dressing like this at 11, then I was going to be NOTHING BUT TROUBLE once I hit puberty!!
- I still have a wonderful mommy who loves me and has never judged me once in life (even when I used to dress like a total hooker in high school–but I was a good girl, I promise).
- I have a precious hubby who cherishes me and is kind every single day to me (no disclaimers on this one!).
- I have a wonderful sister who will listen to me bitch and whine and cuss like a truck stop whore without complaint (God bless her!)
- I have amazing blog buddies that always make me smile (especially when you cuss a lot for no reason–giggle giggle).
- I have loyal and loving friends who put up with my occasionally hibernating ass without complaint.
- I have billions of teddy bears that I have a tremendous amount of fun playing with (yeah, I bonkers…I know).
- I can always pop a sleeping pill and venture off into LaLa Land (I do NOT recommend this and am really about 98% joking…okay, 97%).
- I can go wander around Walgreens. I don’t know why I love doing this. It’s not like the stock changes. I just love to wander the aisles of Walgreens. Yep, I’m a doofus.
- Overall, I’ve had a dang good life. There has been tons of heartache and pain, but God has blessed me with the ability to bounce back, and for that I’m eternally grateful.
- I could have been born with two noses.
- And the all-time best thing my mom ever taught me: This too shall pass.
There are about 100 more items I could put on this list, but my laptop is literally sitting on my lap and is 4000 degrees and catching my muff on fire. Since I don’t want firebush, I’m going to have to stop my list at lucky 13.
HUGS!!!

Thinking of rodents works, right? They’re damn cute–no matter what anyone else says. I love that you play with your bears. I am guilty of making my stuffed friends talk from time-to-time. Funny, if you need to insult someone, it sounds better coming from a stuffed walrus. Although they often beat the crap out the poor little fella afterwards.
As always, you are such a funny bunny!!
