I can only hope no one will PROSEcute me for this.


I had a bit of a strange day today. I got up this morning and fell off the stairs, but luckily I landed on a pink elephant who took me for a ride to the Bermuda Triangle where I found a square instead. Of course I wanted to get to the bottom of this, but found a false ceiling and got tagged for a loony. I immediately got (s)trapped by a straitjacket, but I bribed him with a nonsensical statement, behind which he now hides forever. Next thing I know is my voice leaves me and starts yelling "nuts! nuts!" which caused squirrels to appear from everywhere eating the words faster than they could come out. Of course they couldn't trick me! I saw what they really were! Rats in Designer Suits! What could I do but to hide in-sanity, put on my blue dress and travel incognito? I suddenly noticed a door and thought it was the exit, but found myself in the middle of a serious political meeting of the Ostriches all sticking their head in the sand. I quickly put a sack over my head to blend in when a voice sounded from the sky: "Earth to the Lady... come in Lady...anybody there?" I hollered "I'm right here, where no-one can see me, please someone help me!" and out reached the hand of Thyme, throwing me on this chair. Of course being exhausted, I fell right asleep on the keyboard, to find my nose stuck between the keys when I woke up. Thinking back it may not have been the smartest thing to do, but I cried out: "This is NUTS!" and a giant squirrel appeared who ate it immediately and unfortunately bit off my nose too. I assure you it's not a pretty sight... no nose... just a black hole where everything disappears into. Good thing my name is Pinocchio today, so I'm sure it will grow back on.

How was your day?

Hi Lady!

My day was fine.  I kept up my sane facade all day and I think I fooled everybody.  What a rare day!

Dear Red,
So sorry to hear about your misfortunes. ( I just hate it when stuff like that happens, it makes it really tough to concentrate!). If I see your nose around anywhere, I'll send it right back to you ( we can't have these spare parts just laying all over the place, seems like only yesterday I tripped over Vinnys' ear!) Good to hear from you though, Give my best to the rest.

Dear Bridget - Poor girl! It must have been an exhausting day! Thank you for dropping by dear Lady.

Dear Doc - I assure you I didn't have this much fun in a long time! Good to see your hoof mark printed on my page.

Justin Sayne - How scary to see you make sense!

I really did get most of this - But.. I'm still wondering how those ostriches managed to communicate with their heads in the sand... Um.. probably just like every other politician does, eh??..

Red, next time you're having a blast, call me will you?

And a new face too! What's your slogan Miss Fit? To nose or not to nose?

Oh sorry, I just found your nose.  I am afraid I thought it was a speed bump and I ran over it, sorry!  Not to worry, called the nose ring to pick it up, and it can be claimed at the nostril station whenever you're ready.
