Just another day

... in the life of a duck. Nothing special happening today. Had coffee with Lucy but it was quick. Too quick and very disappointing. Kind of like... well, I won't go there. I will try to keep it clean.

I'm sitting here while my boyfriend mows the lawn, trying to decide what I should be doing. Plenty to do but nothing is really saying to me, "You really need to get this done." so, I do nothing.

Ok, I really am doing something. I am playing with this blog and trying to figure out how to get the profile pictures to show up on the front blog page. This is my first time blogging and I am very computer illiterate. Who's idea was this anyway? Oh yeah, it was Lucy's. She has such brilliant ideas sometimes; though please don't ask her about today's grand idea... you don't want to know. Hugh Heffner doesn't want to know!

Ok, a little about Lucy and I. We have been friends for many years and yes, we are quite the team. We are the spitting image of Lucy and Ethel in the "I love Lucy" show with the exception that I am a brunette. Lucy is forever causing hysterical moments in my life and the lives of her family and friends. No one is safe from her antics or witty tongue. And please, please, please never offer her a dare. She is a "dare addict" and is in recovery for it as we speak. I, on the other hand, am quite, demure, sweet, and oh yes, very, very humble. Ha, ha, ha... Ok, really, I am more on the quiet side (at least more so than Lucy) and I try desperately not to draw attention to myself, though when I am with Lucy, we are always the object of attention.

Let me just give you a taste of our ordinary adventures... hmmmm...where to start? How about the day we went to Costco? Before I begin, I must preface the story with the facts that Lucy has Multiple Sclerosis and I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, Peripheral Neuropathy, Diabetes and a few other conditions. I state this so you can better appreciate the humorous antics we share (and possibly Lucy's posts about "voiding" HAHAHA).

Now on to Costco... We decided to walk around Costco one day during the holiday season. It was crowded but not overly so we pushed on to enjoy our "windowless" shopping. We came upon some of those fuzzy tan boots that everyone calls "Ugs" and Lucy wanted to try some on. Not a big deal right? Well, once she got them on, she could not get them off. So Picture this... woman with MS (loses her balance with the breeze) is trying to pull these boots off her feet while standing. Not happening. I try to help pull them off but Lucy can't stand while I am pulling on her leg. She sits on the floor and I, with my weak, arthritic hands, try to pull the boot off her foot only to slide her butt across the smooth concrete floor! Ok, now everyone is looking and we are laughing so hard we are crying. That happens a lot! Great times, great times.

We will have many more such silly antics for you very, very soon. Working on this blog I'm sure will be one of them.
