All right, Mr DeMille, I'm ready for my close up.

I've made some interesting discoveries recently.  I haven't solved world hunger, nor have I found the hidden world that all the lone socks migrate to from the dryer, but I've made some strange, if silly, discoveries.  And I've decided it's these little things we should enjoy and celebrate - no matter how mundane they seem.

Here we  go:
1.  I do one hell of a Norma Desmond impersonation.  We are not quite sure WHY I'm able to mimic the former silent star slash nutcase who buries her pet monkey in a child's coffin - but I am. I view it as a cross between Katharine Hepburn and someone who has smoked 4 packs a day for 20 years.

2.  If you say "poop" to our dog, his ears will perk up.  He doesn't really seem to know what it means, but for some reason that word really gets to him.  And makes us giggle.

3.  My cat is basically a mean two-year-old toddler who can jump 5 feet in the air.  The kind of toddler who cuts off her sister's hair for fun or holds the goldfish in her hand for 10 seconds outside its bowl.  This is her best description.

4.  There is nothing butterflies and a pink stuffed doggie can't beautify.

5.  People who annoy you will always somehow know, internally, when you are stressed out and have hit the moment before your bucket of water overflows.  They will then pour half a can of Sprite into that bucket of water to cause a deluge.   Perhaps the cat is also one of these people.

6.  Puppies smell like . . . puppies.  It's hard to quantify.  Even if you DON'T know what the smell of puppy is supposed to be, you will immediately, when faced with a cute bundle of furriness, know the smell and identify it as "puppy."

7.  Nothing is as sexy as a man holding said puppy that smells like puppy and cradling it with love.

Those are my discoveries.

Have you made any fun ones lately?
