Mutti Chronicles

…but not really! I was trying to make reservations for vacation online. There was a price quote for a family rate. But no way to actually put that as your choice on the online reservation form. So I called the friendly 1-888 number. I went through a series of menus but none of the recorded messages answered my question. Mostly the menu kept sending me back to the original message and I went around in a circle for awhile. After trying all the menu options, I finally got to talk to a real person. She knew the answer to my question but knew nothing about online reservations cuz “we don’t know anything about the website, another company handles that.” So the helpful 888 number wasn’t very helpful!

Well after several days of drugs, Boomer is looking a little bit ‘perkier’. Or about as perky as a 17 year-old cat can look. She’s actually beginning to act more ‘Boomer-like’ again. I’m sure the “poor pathetic me” act will continue for awhile longer. But she looks much better! Good work Mr. (oops that’s Mrs.) veterinarian. Drugs are good! Medical drugs that is. Now the question is what to do with her while we go on vacation.

Scenario #1
A sweet little old lady stops me in the grocery store and asks me to read the label on her TV dinner to see if “garlic” is on the list of ingredients. So I read it. No garlic. She asks me to read it again just to make sure. While I’m doing this she’s telling me all the reasons she can’t have garlic. You know, constipation, heartburn, diarreha, etc. I was happy to read the label for her, but I could have done without the medical report.
Scenario #2
At JC Penny, “Buffy” and “Sissy”, 40 somethings’, are shopping for clothes for this weekend. “Buffy” picks out a pair of khakis, cuz she just doesn’t have ANY khakis. “Sissy says to her “Oh those are a size 14, you DON’T wear a size 14. They’re way TOO HUGE! You better get a size 8.”

Anyone know what a mango tastes like? Since we belong to the Fruit of the Month Club, we got a whole box today. It’s kind of the color of a pear, but it’s the shape of a potato. What do I do with it? Mash it, juice it, or cut it up in chunks?
In other news, Orange Julius has really gone downhill lately. Tonight I had one that tasted kind of like watery orange juice with a bunch of crushed ice in it. We’ve complained before, but no improvement. I see that they have the blender on a timer. If they would just add a little more powder so it had some flavor and let the blender go longer at least.

Brush your teeth everyday…as many times as you can. Til your arm falls off! And floss, floss, floss. That way when you’re OLD you won’t have to get a new crown. Like me. Ok, I already had a crown. But then I had to get a
ROOT CANAL in the same tooth. So they had to drill holes thruogh the beautiful new crown. Then the crown popped off. So now I have to get a new crown. So the moral of the story is BRUSH! And don’t forget the floss. The cinnamon flavor is really good.
