Please keep it up Nanci (sorry Lise )! Of course I was talking about the work issue!

I finally had a sec to look up a pic of PR - wattle wattle!

DANG YOU, FISH! How can you turn on me in this way? This is the placenta thing coming back to bite me in the butt, isn't it?!

Alas, Nanci is entirely capable of talking in exquisite detail about wine and tormenting me about my dream guy at the same time. Next she'll turn on Bobby Sherman. I just know it. www.bobbysherman.com

OK. I am up. I am in the process of caffinating. I am going to a staff meeting, which is a 12 x/yr process of not losing my temper. One of my colleagues once said that midwives are not supposed to work in groups. It's true. We're rugged individualists who make decisions, give orders, and take the brunt of it if things don't go well. Put us in a group and ask us to make decisions together? Difficult at times. I respect (all) and like (most) of my colleagues, but...here we go!

Did you guys know that there is a word describing misheard song lyrics? It is mondegreen

Also related is another form of malapropism called eggcorns.

This is very cool!

[Nanci]

Here, Lise, want to make fun of my movie boyfriend??? Here he is:

I especially like it when he wears the black geek glasses.

He's so SCRUFFY!!!

I've just spent (wasted?) 45 minutes reading about eggcorns. Something tells me Sadiekate would get a kick out of these, but alas, she's traveling on business.

I love the "mute point" entry, and the commentary.

Heh heh! Don't worry Lise, I'll only take a support role in harrassing you about the wattle.

Good luck at the meeting! Just think of us here on TD and that'll give you a giggle when the meeting gets bad.

Survived work today. The aide grabbed one of the therapists a few times and once dragged her back to the quiet room where she could complain in private, but the therapist came out quickly. Either it was a short complaint or the t'pist cut it off.

The meeting is tomorrow. We'll see. Hey, Starbucks is hiring....

[DrBee]

Good luck with the meeting Knotted. Just remember, everything works out in the end.

[Lise]

But Nanci, Mark Ruffalo is cute! I love the geek glasses! Scruffy is good! Chris Noth kind of gives me the creeps, though...

The meeting was predictably irritating. We have one colleague who would be a good case study for betagirl in her PsyD. program. Did I say I respect "all" of my colleagues? I lied. I just deleted a paragraph of whining here. Suffice it to say I came home and made chocolate chip cookie dough and ate a few spoonfuls. Now feel sick to stomach...

KN, good luck with the meeting. We'll be thinking of you. L.

PS, Nanci, I got my prize! I love a book, almost any book...thanks! It *cracked* me up that you padded it in a chux. HA! Still waiting for the Kona DVD. How was BF's home coming? L.

[Nanci]

He came home with an exacerbated case of Harleyitis...

BF calls me all excited toward the end of the day- he'd had an unusual critter removal call:

[crazycanuck]

how cute! Poor little thing...What did you do with him???(the creature not the bf)

DO turtles & armadillos get along???

I've never seen an armadillo...

[Nanci]

He released it two miles away. It's old enough to be on its own. Got into the house through the dog door. They had four boxers who fortunately didn't kill it. Poor baby! Armadillos always have four babies in a litter, and they are always all the same sex, because they develop from one egg. It's still pinkish!

[uk elephant]

Very cute!

I'm procrastinating again by reading up on your drifting. This thesis writing stuff is hard!

But I have been unofficially told that I get an interview for this job that I really really want! Yay! I could be out doing proper ecology again in just a few weeks! Fingers crossed!

[Nanci]

Baby Armadillo kind of reminds me of what Buttercup does when I pick her up. Koko hangs out of his shell and lets me pet him all over his head and neck and front legs.

[Lise]

ohhhh, little baby boo boo! What a sweetie! Little paw over snout, how cute! Man, those dog doors. Never know what you're walking into, eh? Thanks for the picture, Nanci. L.

[DrBee]

Good morning!

The armadillo is such a cutie (for an armadillo).
