Milo’s cone is off! The ear seems to have healed nicely. He also finally got a bath, so he’s no longer King of Funk, though I think he kinda enjoyed that title.

Instead of the Easter basket filled with chocolate, Mom has sent tulips the past two years for Easter. Maybe she read my smile post; maybe she just thought it would brighten my day. It did – my day and my table.

Last year I rushed. I was excited to have received tulips. I grabbed them out of their box and went to town cutting the stems and trying to arrange (I suck at arranging). I broke a few stems. I arranged them in a smaller glass.

This year instructions were read. Plastic stayed wrapped around the flowers so they’re heads wouldn’t droop. A penny was added to the bottom of the vase to keep them standing straight. It worked — they’re still beautiful 3 days later. Now I carry the vases from room to room with me as I move throughout the day. If I’m outside, my flowers are outside. If I’m cooking, they’re on the dining room table. If I’m at my desk, I have one vase to each side.

Funny, the flowers seem to last way longer than the chocolate.

Day in the Life, just a picture by Courtney

We had a fun trip to the emergency vet today, and now I’m drained. Milo hates me. Every time he bumps into something with his cone, he turns around and stares at me. I don’t blame him.

Tiffany (scream real loud) misunderstood when her date said “Let’s Go Dutch”

Raju and I saw this last night on our way to the wine bar. I thought of Tiffany (scream real loud), not because I can see her in this get up, but just because her name is Tiffany (scream real loud) and she’s my friend. She’s actually my famous friend. She knows famous people and even has an IMDB entry. It’s funny that I’m learning that she was in a movie from IMDB — though who knows, she may have told me this before and I’ve just forgotten (highly likely).

We have also learned from Tiffany (scream real loud) that organic milk lasts longer than regular milk. Being the geeks that we are, we had to find out why this morning.

Here’s to Tiffany (scream real loud). Now if I just had a scooter.

NOTE: I was never really a fan of Pee Wee’s Playhouse — but my cousin was and we watched it a lot to make her happy. I did enjoy the set though. The Secret Word is the one thing I do remember. For the Scooter at the end, we’ll thank Wikipedia.
