It is possible that I may disappear from Bloggerland. I am not sure if it will be indefinitely, or just for a while. There are happenings in my life that are so complicated at the moment. Things I cannot and should not explain to all of you beautiful strangers. I didn't want to go away without granting each of you that are team writers the privilege of being administrators. This means that you have the power to invite, change and manipulate The Wild Onion as you see fit. I hope that you all will carry on in my absence. Getting to know each of you has been fun. Thank you for sharing yourselves with me.
With much love,
Cece

I got nothing much to add to that - well said, IV. Rock on, Cece we will be thinking about you!!
Oh, Cece, love and hugs to you dear girl.
IV. I love you. Thanks.
Cece, honey, please. I called you last night because Rob was worried. Honey, please just pick up the phone. Please sweetie. I'm in tears because I know something is horribly wrong. Honey, please just pick up the phone. I don't know what else to do. I've emailed. I've blogged. I've phone. Honey please, just pick up the phone. I think I know what's wrong, but I can't help you if you don't let me in.
Cece, so many people love you, so let us help you get through this phase of your life. I love you baby. Hang in there.
Rob sends his love and I do too of course.
XO
Hey boss,
You do what you need to do. Don't be afraid to reach out for help from those you trust if you need it. All of us will keep you in our minds and hearts and wait for your return to the Cafe.
just bob
cece
iv said it so perfectly
my love to you
k
IV did say is so perfectly. I told her about what you wrote Zack. She hasn't read it yet, but she will. She called tonight just as promised. She's okay, just going through way too much crap. If you've ever spoken to her on the phone, you know she has the voice of an angel. There's nothing better than picking up the phone and hearing "Hey" in that soft Southern drawl. She's a sweetie, so it's alarming she runs this joint with an iron fist!
It's so nice to see almost everyone here. I love you guys. You're the best and I know she will read all the comments and gather strength. I think she'll also enjoy the cruise.
"Love boat,
exciting and new,
step on board,
we're expecting you..."
I'm the only one here tonight, so I'm going to have myself a good time in Cece's absence. I'm on the Macy's sofa looking at the disco ball with a HUGE glass of mineral water. Wow, just saw someone walk though the wall to IV's secret room. Looks like Mark's ass, but after too much mineral water all asses look the same.
Why am I up at 2:27? Because I slept earlier.
Why am I brused and battered. Because I was in the bedroom with the feral kitties and forgot I'd left the carriers in the room, so when I turned, to avoid them I went through all sorts of insane gyrations and nearly killed the crap out of myself. I have a cut lip, a cut and lump on my forehead and a bruse the size of Alaska on my hip. I think I should have just tripped over the damn things. I would have gotten off easier.
Yes, of course this is my life. What? You expect anything else?
Guess I just missed you. Good luck takin' care of bizness. Gotta do it.
Come back strong...strong like BULL!
Wow....Z DID say it best.
Cece, take care of you, your friends and loved ones will be here when you're ready to come back - just come back strong and healed.
We love you!
The Goob
p.s. Suz, you okay? I would have done the same thing so I can sympathize with the cuts and boo-boos. Hugs and here's a pink lemonade to make you feel better.
Ooh lemonade. Do I need to hurt myself to get some too?
Yes, I know how to spell bruise and it ain't bruse. (I also secretly love the work "ain't," but don't tell my family or friends.) I knew that bruise was going to be really, really bad when it turned purple almost immeditely. It's nasty and you know what? It hurts! But it goes perfectly with...
Pink lemonade!!! Thanks QG. I'll have some. Sounds delicious. Actually I need to eat too. I haven't eaten much lately. No appetite. Bob, come out from behind the bar and join me. Please don't trip over the sofa because I'm in no condition to help you ~ a wee bit too sore today. QG, shove down a bit. I never told anyone, but the Macy's sofa is a love seat. It only has 5 feet of seating space. I know because Newman (the cat) used to stretch the full length, and I measure him! True story! Yes, he's a big kitty.
Cece, whatchadoin' baby? You know how things at the park have been so awful lately. I was thinking about you and the kitties this morning and started crying. I want you to know the sun was shining through golden leaves and it was beautifully peaceful. I love you. You're going to be okay. Just a little bump in the road honey. You'll see.
Rob told me to tell you he loves you and if you'd like to call, feel free. Wow, you are now in possession of all our phone numbers. If our identity is stolen, I'm coming to Arkansas first. Oh, that's right, I gave Leah our address. Okay, Brooklyn first.
Love you darling. In the words of the great Robyn, "Hold On." And please take time to read the comments. They're amazing. So many people love you. No matter what happens, you're going to be okay. We're all here sweetie, so sneak on whenever possible!!! What? Of course I'm laughing! Why? Because I see you in the wee hours of the morn typing really, really fast!
Love you! ;) XO
P.S. To all my darling friends, you're awesome. If anything ever happens to me I want all of you supporting me. You're the best. Free dinks for everyone. Oh, right, drinks are free. Okay, drinks for everyone!
Gotta drink to that!
Megan, what are you drinking honey? Make it two.
I'm still on the sofa sweetie. Just agonizing over kitties and trying desperately to make sense of life. Lots of room. I've lost weight!
XO
Hi Suzanne! You sure have a lot of love to give, lady!
Thanks baby. Bob made me a Shirley Temple. You game? It's sorta pretty and tastes really good. I have an extra.
Shirley Temple's all around. Rum or vodka shooters available if you tip the bartender really good!!!
Bob, you're so generous, but you know what, I'm not a hard liquor sort of lady. That stuff would kill me!!! Seriously!!!
First of all, I hate the smell of Gin and Vodka, yikes. Yikes. Rum, I can do that in a pretty pink drink, but not too much. Lot's of strawberries and orange juice thank you very much! What? I'm whimpy. You know I'm not a drinker. What? I just can't wrap my brain around it. It would hurt.
I guess that means no tip Blottie?
Oh, I'm a big tipper. Trust me. Honey what are you eating? I'm starving. I don't eat for some reason. I do have to before I waste away. What are we serving at the Cafe tonight?
XO Blottie ;)
For you Suzanne...
We'll start with a Maytag Bleu Cheese wedge salad.
The main course will be an eggplant parmgigiana with an angel hair pesto pasta.
For dessert, we'll have a raspberry tort with a homemade vanilla bean ice cream on the side.
*Tips bartender "big time"*
parmgigiana ???
WTF, I messed that one up.
Eggplant Parmigiana
God I love this place. Big, huge tip!!! I don't even care about misspelling. But Maytag...am I expected to do laundry? Damn.
Everything sounds so lovely. I am so in Heaven. Thank you my dear man.
XO
Cece, I agree with IV. and everyone else here...we will be here for you whatever you need. I will try calling again this weekend, it's ok if you don't want to talk, I will just talk, but I would love to hear your sweet angel voice...love you
Now I am going to go sit on the Sofa with Suze, I hear Bob is serving Shirley Temples and shooters. Just might have to get a head start for the tailgating party tomorrow!! We have to be on the road at 6:00 a.m. (ugh), Bloody Marys at 9:00, Game at 12:00...more tailgating after game...then long drive home. So, Bob I will have 1 shooter then I am going to get some sleep. Thanks for being here. *slides big tip for "sweet bartender" onto the bar*
Shhh, Suze is finally sleeping...*covers Suze with a pretty pink "knitted by Leah" afgan. "Sweet Dreams Blottie"
Peeks out of pretty pink hand knitted afgan by Leah. Winks at crew! What? I have a tail gate party to prepare for, can't sleep forever! Gotta be on the road my 6 am, so 4 am in CA. Of course, eyes roll back in head. What team? I can't be expected to know everything. Michigan, right? Believe it or not we have a connection. Our previous neighbor, a retired doctor attended the U of M for med school. He's loyal to that damn place. Honestly, you'd think he still lived there!!! What is it about Michigan that captivates people?
Where's my beautiful Giggie? She's such a wimp. Already sleeping. Damn. Pulls afgan over head and slinks through bar undetected. Severus, you say a word and I'll kick your ass. That reminds me of something really, really funny. The first time I spoke to Cece, she referred to me as an "In your face New Yorker."' I begged to differ. I still think that's too funny. Leah, you know that's not true. Come to my defense woman. Bob. Anybody?
*Relaxes on Macy's sofa waiting for sunrise*
Hey Gig! Go Blue!!!
Hey Suz it's only just gone midnight. Bars are still open!
Megan, I'm not into the bar scene!!! I'm not a drinker. However, I do love hand knitted afgans and tea. Oh, also oatmeal. It's Saturday morning. Where's my damn oatmeal? Why do I have to do everything myself? Where the hell's Leah? Ugh. Okay, I'll make the oatmeal. Severus and Jorge, you suck. What do we pay you for? Oh right, we don't pay you. That could be the answer.
Giggie, GO BLUE!!! I'll be looking for you in your yellow slicker!
XO
Hi Megan!
Coffee's ready... the oatmeal will be done in a few minutes folks.
Morning Suz & Bob! Mmm, oatmeal.
So sorry to see you leaving for awhile, Cece. Hope everything improves for you and happiness and joy returns soon.
Best wishes,
Skeeter
Hey Gig...
Here's that hot apple cider I promised you. Hope that warms you up after that bone chilling day in Ann Arbor!
Just got my oatmeal. Thanks Bob. You're the best.
Gee Blottie... it's two days old. Want me to reheat it for you?
