"smell like cat food, or worse." 

and that is a pretty potent smell.  bleh!

I'm going to try to say a Brokeism every day during February. Who's with me on this? 

Yesterday an easy one came up. I called my family to the table during a birthday dinner for my mom, and my brother was fiddling with his phone and lagging behind so I asked, "What are you waiting for, an engraved invitation?"

I guess that was better than telling him to get his scrawny ass in there.

Thanks to the weather gods, I was able to announce at work yesterday that "That snow didn't stick an hour!"

[Front-Ranger]

Good one, Meryl! Did you also chew on a blade of grass?

If I'd said that, I'm sure he would have thought I'd gone off my rocker!

R. wrote on his blog that the cuprinol he paints on his wooden garden boxes has a "canvas tent smell". I had to make a comment that it smells like "cat piss or worse". But, really, what smells worse than cat piss? Nothing.

Good ones, everyone!

I've never been clever enough to work them into daily conversation.  Maybe once or twice, but not more than that.

...But, really, what smells worse than cat piss? Nothing.

I can now answer my own question. There is something that smells worse than cat piss. Sick cat piss. 

Brokeism for today. I was telling R. that people are getting tired of me because "I complain too much." As I said that, my voice suddenly took on a Texas twang. R. looked at me puzzled.

My ex knew better. When I told him one time that something was held together with "chewing gum and baling wire" he said, "That's from that movie, isn't it?" He reminded me of Lureen at that point!

Yesterday I spent the whole day reading and working, and at the end of the day I felt like I still had a lot of reading and work left to do.

"Never enough time, never enough," I said to my dog, Charlie. Not sure if he got the reference.
