WW (Fill in the Blank) Do?

When I find myself in times of trouble, no one who is either a mother or named Mary comes to me.

Probably because I have no words of wisdom.

Let me be.

Instead, when placed knee-deep in the ickiness of great duress, I ask myself. . .

. . . What Would Patty Do?

Because Patty is da bomb.

She is the woman who is the yin to my yang in all difficult situations. Within the body of a birdlady beats the heart of a lion.

While I tortoise, she is direct. While I am fighting the urge to slowly curl into a fetal position and hum, she is the one with all the right questions and all the right actions.

Yet, for some strange reason, this cartoon somehow struck a chord with me:

from "Pardon My Planet"

Just don't tell Patty.

Please.

She kind of scares me.

my little birdlady heart was all a flitter.........thank you for your kind words. However, I would never wear sandles unless they are like flip flops and have a toe seperator as my toes over lap.
Sometimes my inner monalog filter doesn't catch what my fine controll button is trying to send it. As Scarlett O would say fidell dee dee.

Countess of YY: To my mind, your lack of inner monologue is definitely one of your charms.

As for the toe thing? Eww. TMI.

Countess MPM: The sun'll come out Tomorra...

(but you can always wear sandals in the house)

Countess AG: And loving them?

So right.

Several times a day at work, I'm compelled to ask myself "what would Zeus do?" And so help me, one of these days, I'm gonna do it.

No, no pillows...

"Most def NSFW!!"

Hey, I should get my middle name changed to those four letters.

I ask myself 'What Would MARTHA Do' on a daily basis. I have never made a wrong decision when I handle my affairs her way. She and I are BFF...she just doesn't know it.

And sandals. ONLY if I have had a pedicure.
