I love Tuesdays.....or Wednesdays since this is late again!!! Had fun with this story.
Mory contacted me about the problem he was experiencing with his best friend, Brutus', identity issues. Checked my Rolodex and found just the perfect person to handle this one......our one and only Annie Jo Ryan. Since the housing market is in the tank she has moonlighted making money with her prior career of being a therapist. She is not cheap (she has told me more than once that the talks we have had have run up quite a bill!!!). Take note that just talking to her cost money....I didn't know we were on the clock. Anyway, I decided to see if I could defray some of the cost by referring Brutus to her for counseling. She said.....bring him on but it would cost some really big CARATS (if you know what I mean). Well.......you can see I lost a little in the translation because Brutus is on his way to North Carolina with some really big CARROTS!!! I will be out of the country for awhile and not taking any phone calls. Hopefully Annie Jo will remember her code of ethics and give Brutus his much need therapy before sending Dog the Bounty Hunter to find me again!!!!
It has been fun knowing all of you. Would really appreciate any intervention friends of Annie Jo can do on my behalf!!! You did see what she did to the latest beau in her life just because he glanced my direction!!! See what I am talking about here .
hugs to ALL of my friends.

Initially, my reaction to this far-fetched story was one of dismay thinking this girl is really losing touch with reality. Then, it immediately dawned on me ~ this girl has really lost it. She's been outta touch for who knows how long. Case in point: this ridiculous story.
Let me just assure you Mrs Colorado Wanna B, time is money to those of us that WORK! Talking to you is difficult work. Do you realize how much time I spend trying to make sense of what you tell me. Next time your call, I'm making a referral to someone who specializes in psychiatric medicine. I cant figure you out. I dont think the textbooks ever used a fruitcake like you in any of its case studies.
Your card is very very sweet. yes it really is, you poor dear. I like your design. It really favors who you are: your card is off center and so are you!
PS This does not, in any way, reduce the payment you've promised for all the time I've spent with you on the telephone.

HaHaHa! Carrots.....Carats....I get jokes. Boy, you sure are one brave person dealing with Anne Ryan. I still owe on a bet with her, I said I'd pay in "hugs" but she still wants cold hard cash....like that's gonna happen. ANYWAY, this card is just a hoot an a half! I love it, your story is the almost as good as your snowboarder one. hehe Did you fall recently and hit your head or something? You are getting so creative lately, just look at those doodles! Sis, this is FAB-O! Love it! Send it my way! TFS :0)

This is sooooooooooooooooooo awesome ConnieJo. I love the tree bg. Hee. I just love the bunny in his car with his huge carrot. What do you mean Brutus does not like carrots. Hmmm....this is serious. Maybe he'll change his mind when he sees how great they look in his car and the chicks or other girl bunnies, really dig the car. Hee.

Looks like this guy is getting ready to speed away with those huge carrots. Hopefully there won't be any barking, unless it's up the wrong tree, which we are almost, right. Does that sound crazy enough to warrant some therapy?
Seriously, this is wonderful. I particularly like the background and your awesome coloring of the image.

Darling. And of course when Anne mentioned carats and you were thinking rabbits you heard carrots, who wouldn't! And carrots will be way better for Anne - they might improve her eyesight, LOL. Natch, I don't think you've sent enough for that.

This is so cute, Connie Jo! Love the fun image! Your coloring is awesome! Fun story, too! When Brutus gets to NC, if Anne won't see him, I could at least take him to lunch or something! I'm not therapist, but I'm a good listener!

Don't worry.....Gertie has henchmen! They are just a phone call away and have been slow themselves so they are just itchin' for some action.....and money? Aww...they don't care about that....they do stuff for free.....for the pure enjoyment of their job! So.....send Brutus on...big carrots and all and just sit back, sip your tea, have a big piece of carrot cake and relax!
Whisper: I can't use the excuse of looking for carrot cake anymore for being late to greet......Celisa was questioning it! Snort! So.....
How's this? I found the carrot cake and ate so much of it that as I was walking back up the bunny trail I ran into a narrow section, could not get through and have been yelling and yelling for you guys to come clear the path to no avail! Where you guys been??? Jeeze Louise! You teapotters love your teaparties, can't even break away to do a little landscaping! Snort!
This card (and image) just rocks and so does your story! Its precious and I am glad to see your *tree* again at the teaparty! Its a wonderful addition to Brutus' cause! Hey, I am game to try anything, just found out he has thoughts of dolphins too! Ugh!
