Look who showed up at work yesterday....
No - she's not the Wendy's chick!
It's Raggedy Ann and Andy!
When my own Mother was ill, they gave her last rites.
(This was long ago.)
But the Hospital Chaplin was in a training exercise that day.
He showed up, covered with Moulage! Fake blood everywhere.
Which is how medical people train for emergencies. Link here!
I have a high tolerance for the ridiculous and the sublime.
Parking Lot Angel
In case we forget which end goes "up."
This is the American version - hence the flag, I guess.
Your milage may vary.
Gave away my What-A-Burger gift card.
My mechanic looked hungry that day.
Trucky also had a near-miss...
*An "auto-body" experience!?*
This massive tree thing almost fell on her.
Landed right in our usual parking spot.
And I could have had a new truck.
But nooooo!
Trucky also went on low-carburetor diet.
And look at the difference. Before and after!
Now she's sporting a sleek fuel-injected look.
Less gas-guzzling. Better all-around performance.
I think she lost a ton! (hee hee)
Ready to go on another road trip!
Why, hello there!
Then, this hello kitty entity emerged from the sky.
Give us a little kiss, eh?
This is the "12th night" I've worked late.
Really, it's "much ado about nothing."
Certainly not an outrageous fortune!
Maybe just some slings and arrows.
Ah - "all's well that ends well."
A "comedy of errors" is more ("as you) like it."
Or "Love's Labour's Lost - then Won!"

This just in:
Did well with the modified fast today....
Maybe a little TOO fast....
I got a speeding ticket!
But the eating was good, at any rate.
Hope your weekend is fabulous!

Love the truck picture! hehe
ReplyDeleteYou are so witty! When you come to Cali next year where are you going? If it is any where near me I want to meet up with you!
ReplyDeleteI dressed up as Raggedy Ann in high school. Great fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
Cool pic of the kitty in the sky! I love it! While growing up that was one of my absolutely favorite past times (actually still is) - finding all the faces & objects in the clouds: I'd draw them on a large cardboard I had...wish I still had it!
ReplyDeleteEven my 5 year old will now say "Look Mom, I see a ____ in the clouds." Very cool.
I like the parking lot angel. I am on the lookout for angels everywhere I go.
ReplyDeleteHope you didn't have too big a fine.
ReplyDeleteJust with my pride!
ReplyDeleteA speeding ticket?!?!?! !@#$%! I hate when that happens. Speed traps are all over Los Angeles these days. I think they're how the city is trying to balance their budget. Sorry you got pinched.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Anne. xo jj
Great story with pictures, I need to go on the diet that the truck was on.....looking good my friend....:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteGreat stories as usual, loved the Raggedy Ann and Andy. take care have a wonderful weekend. smiles.
ReplyDeleteLOL, the truck on low card...
ReplyDeleteRaggedy Ann and Andy, big part of my first years, but, Andy wasn't quite as rough looking as I recall him.
Have a good weekend!
Awh, I love Raggedy Ann! I haven't heard about Raggedy Ann in forever
ReplyDeleteI'm just not seeing Hello Kitty...my imagination is flat lining. :(
ReplyDeleteI need it to be super obvious like the trucks side by side. The low "carburetor diet" / "loosing a ton" comment was fast! You should get a speeding ticket for your quick-witted ways. I believe someone is looking out for you and truckie...conveniently not there when the tree branch falls???... Someone pulling you over to do a little paperwork???
I think that parking lot angel saved the day!
lol on the truck picture.
