Hey, I wouldn’t mind someone saying that to me every once in a while. I’ve been sick for a while- a long while. In that time I’ve felt my womanly wiles slip away day by day. It’s easy to do when you are only able to take a bath once a week. So when I heard the new trailer for Beverly Hills Chihuahua, I thought the trailer was fairly cute, (The male lead issues the immortal words in my blog title…) and it brought a couple of things home to roost. The first being that I had become the female equivalent of a eunuch. Not something that a woman who has been married a quarter of a century needs to be hit over the head with.

People always talk about ‘thinking outside the box’, but what about when you are literally living inside one? For seven months now, I have been lying in bed, staring at three walls, being waited on like the Queen of Sheba. You would think it would be a grand thing. Breakfast in bed daily. The “Life of Riley” as my Grandmother was fond of saying.
