Hubby and I hung out with Ann last night (the medium-rare Asian Ahi Tuna Burger with Asian Slaw and wasabi dressing at the Lazy Dog Cafe…YUMMOS!), and she mentioned that Dodo needs to make a guest appearance on my blog. There’s no better day for my spot o’ sunshine to cheer up my blog than today, given the last post, so I’m making it happen. But I’ve also got a lot of people to finish divorcing, so here is a quickie online conversation between me and my former jujitsu sensei, the ever-playful Ramon:

Ramon: Don’t you hate when your burrito falls apart in your hands? And you look like some kind of jackhole trying to lick/suck chunks of asada off your fingers while sauce runs down your hand?
Me: and people wonder why you have to get on your cell immediately to post something when you’ve got sauce all over your hands?
Ramon: then you get chunks of burrito on your cell, and someone calls you and without thinking you answer, then have chunks on your ear.
Me: And then to clean up, you unthinkingly start licking your phone as you’re talking on it and it shorts out and now you have to buy a new phone as people stare at you when you explain how your cell went out of service.
Ramon: And you’re so concerned with your dead cell that you completely forget about the chunks of burrito on your ear and in your hair and they dry and crust over and you look like a jackhole!!!
Me: And then you go home and realize you forgot to feed your cat this morning, and he’s looking at you with unusual interest.
Ramon: If only Cintastic!! Cats are good at cleaning things.
Me: tell me about it! Dodo’s at home vacuuming right now!

There you have it. #703 among the list of 1000 reasons to have a cat. Plus, they double as shredders. Reason #812. If Dodo were here right now, my courtroom assistant wouldn’t be having to look for a shredder that can handle 1000 pages of confidential medical charts.
