What about me?

Beaumont: So… Louise…. I don’t get it.

Me: Get what Beau?

Beau: Well… you know how you just spent days and days putting together a desk calendar for your She Dares Boldly series…

Me: Yeeeesss…. (already I know I’m in trouble…)

Beau: Well… I don’t understand why you don’t have a “Beaumont Dares Boldly” calendar.

Me: (pausing… stalling… breathing…) Umm… Well… I…

Beau: See! You don’t have an answer!

Me: That’s true Beau. I don’t.

Beau: So there’s no excuse why you don’t.

Me: I didn’t say that.

Beau: Actually Louise. You didn’t say anything ’cause there’s nothing to say. There’s no excuse.

Me: (thinking fast…) Well Beau. The She Dares Boldly calendar is my art work.

Beau: And what am I?

Me: My dog?

Beau: Dawggone it Louise. Six and a half years into this relationship and all you can think of is to call me ‘your dog’?!!!! That’s offensive.

Me: Oh Beau. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to offend. It’s just… you are a dog, not my artwork.

Beau: I may be a dawg, but I am as special and unique and creative as your artwork. I think you should do a calendar about me.

Me: Umm…. Can I take it under advisement?

Beau: This isn’t about taking Louise. It’s all about doing. I think you need to do the right thing.

Me: And I suppose the right thing is to create a desk calendar all about you.

Beau: You may be hooman Louise but you do catch on. Maybe not quickly, but later is better than never.

Me: And what happens if I don’t?

Beau: Catch on?

Me: haha. Very funny Beau. No. If I don’t create a calendar all about you.

Beau: Are you really willing to risk finding out?

Me: Oh dear. This is kind of one of those rock and hard places thingies isn’t it.

Beau: Only if you don’t do the right thing.

I sit contemplating that place…. Do she or doesn’t she?

Beau: No such place as “Does she or doesn’t she” on this one Louise. The only appropriate response is, She Dares Boldly.

Me: You know you’re throwing my own words back at me, right?

Beau: Nah. I’m just giving you an opportunity to live your talk and walk it too.

And so … do I or don’t I?

Your thoughts are most welcome! Please!!!!! Help!!!! What do you think about a calendar with photos and quotes from Beaumont the Magnificent?

And for those who haven’t seen it on my Dare Boldly blog — here is the video for the She Dares Boldly Calendar.
