late night advice: part two

elisabeth belliveau is a secret comedienne.

while i sleep (on her couch) she makes inspirational signs (this may be a subtle strategy to motivate me off her couch). then she pastes them up around the apartment.

like so:

today's series features three rules (to live by). these happen to be rules that have entered our lives this week. here's a brief explanation of each:

1. my feelings are valid:

this is basically a cheesy way of saying never apologize for the expression of any and all feelings - including the feeling to submerge your fingertips gingerly into an eyeball. (score)

2. legitimate expectations:

this fascinating legal term was introduced to us by my sister jude (a lawyer, don't call her 'jude law' - she's heard it before and it doesn't make her laugh) that involves suing people who lead you down a certain road but then try to pull a quick and dirty 180. whoa there - not so fast pumpkin. there may be grounds for a lawsuit here - grounds that include:

"legitimate expectations"

(possibly brought on by valid feelings)

3. make the money (aka MTM):

this one is easy.

you just make the money.

i could do it in my sleep.

there.

done.

thanks elisabeth
