A Hole in One

I looked down my leg and noticed that my brand new pair of stockings had a run in them. Note to self: get a damn manicure and I might as well add a pedicure so my big old mama toe doesn’t go through the reinforced toe because I am distracted with all the questions that might be thrown at me this morning. My dog is begging for attention and in my haste she gets my fish oil pill while I am try to ingest a rawhide snack without choking to death. As my dog flashes a smile at my stupidity, I realize that it’s Charles Osgood going through the stories being featured on CBS Sunday Morning. I beckon my dog back to bed and we pick the hottest shade of scarlet nail polish for me to wear to my job interview…tomorrow.

      Donna - the fish pill and doggy snack are from real life. And then there are the times I give the cats dog treats and they just look at me and feel sorry for me.

    Every Monday I wish it was a day of mistaken identity like this! Nice flash of colour at the end with the scarlet nail polish.

    P.S. I was glad to see the shoutut to CBS Sunday Morning. I'm going to assume you watch it...perfect Sunday viewing

    Being a Brit I have no idea who Charles Osgood is but I do understand mornings like this.The good thing about a Sunday morning though is you can go back to bed and start over. Loved it! xx

    I like a dog who smiles; nicely done. I'm not familiar with Charles Osgood either, but it doesn't detract.
