I have a visitor....! "Rabies" the Monkey.....He is the cutest dearest little fella I have ever seen....Rabies travels around the country visiting people....Visiting fellow bloggers, actually. His most recent trip was to visit Scarlet, in Miami, Florida, which is where I first saw him....His Mommy or should I say 'friend', in Oregon, Rachel, was kind enough to allow him to come on down and visit with me now....Rabies does get around! 
I had hoped he might get here before my Halloween "Ladies Who Lunch", but that was not possible. But I wanted him to see some of what he missed.....Above, that's some Germicidal Soap that Bridget gave me.....And here below, here he is with some Candy Corn...... 
Doesn't he look cute sitting there? Dear Rabies actually arrived about a week after my lunch and I am very very pleased that he is here now. And I have been introducing him to a few people since his arrival.....Dear Kim was here at my house a day or two after Rabies arrived, and she fell in love with him, too.....
And honestly....I think he kind of fell in love with her, as well.....He sure seems happy in this next picture, doesn't he?
And he really cuddled up to her and seemed very very happy sitting on her lap....
And he seemed really in dreamland leaning on her arm......
Doesn't he have the dearest sweetest face? Just look at him!
I have a feeling Kim and Rabies will be seeing a lot more of each other during the time he will be here with me in Hollywood.....Next, on this past Tuesday night, Dianne came over so I could "cue" her in the play "The Price" by Arthur Miller....(They are doing it at Theatre West in February....And what a wonderful play it is.....) And she too fell in love with dear Rabies....She was holding him and she said..."He just wants to put his arms around my neck....."
And then she actually said, "Oh, he is so very comforting!"
And he really was very very comforting to her.....
There is something about dear Rabies....everyone falls in love with him. And do you know, he stayed there on her chest with his arms around her neck the entire time we worked together---which was about two and a half hours! There will be much more about Rabies as these next weeks go by....He will be with me through New Years and so will be joining all of us at my annual New Years gathering....What Fun....! Next time I will share Sweetie's greeting and reaction to dear Rabies.....Here below is just a little tease with Sweetie.......
Rabies and Sweetie were great great friends by the time I took this picture.......
More To Come........

Cute pics, and I bet you are enjoying doing theater work.
The weirdest thing just happened. I was doing some cruising around IMDB. I looked up Rene Echevarria because I've seen his name so much lately and found he got his start in Hollywood from a "Star Trek: The Next Generation" script. I looked up that particular story (The Offspring) and then looked up the actress that guest starred. I read her bio and when it said "is the daughter of..." I thought, "Now why does that name sound so familiar?" Then I clicked on the name and WHOA! There was your friend Annie. That was a fun surprise.- Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 1:40:00 AM PST

He is just too cute. I think I would be sure and check my guest's purses when they leave, just in case he accidently crawled in.

Hi Naomi, Rabies is so cute and looks so lovely!
I love also the last photo, with Dianne sitting at your living room where I can see so many books... Really, your living room is so beautiful, so inviting that I could stay there for long, long time...
And Sweetie is so white and so cute in that photo too.
I am looking forward to see Sweetie's greeting to cute Rabies.
A big hug to you.- Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 7:58:00 AM PST

Awww. Rabies is adorable. Not just a nice cuddly stuff toy but one can also have him as a scarf to warm you during winter. Perfect for us here in Scandinavia!

I like that he's so long and slender yet looks chubby and cuddly when seated
I look forward to shots of Rabies and Sweeties together- Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 3:07:00 PM PST

Rabies makes it to Hollywood!! I love it! :)
The pics are adorable, especially the ones where he's with your friends, but between you & me, Naomi, I'd hang on to Rabies...looks like he's got a thing for Dianne! :)
I'm sure there'll be many more adventures for Rabies in your neck of the woods, and I can't wait to read about them and see him in ACTION!- Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 3:51:00 PM PST

Adorable monkey, horrible name. Rabies?! What is the reason for that I wonder?

Ok, first, I'm so glad nobody has rabies. I saw the title and immediately thought you'd been bitten by a crazy raccoon or something. Phwew.
Rabies is adorable. I'm sure he's going to have a large time at your house!- Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 8:33:00 PM PST

Just finished reading your Boo lunches series, immensely enjoyed those. Not as much as you did, though!
Then I read the title of this post and wondered how the heck you had gotten rabies. LOL. Who knew he just traveled right on into your home and into your's and Sweetie's hearts. And everyone who gets to meet him. :)

I don't know. Sweetie looks singularly unimpressed!! LOL
Why does that sweet monkey have such a morbid name?- Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 9:20:00 PM PST

Rabies looks delightful - in spite of his name. I was surprised when I saw how small he really is but how nice to have such an undemanding visitor for so long.
What a great pal you are - rehearsing with your friend. It's so rewarding to do it with someone who understands the theatre in general and the play in particular.- Friday, November 13, 2009 at 4:42:00 AM PST

Wow that Rabies has a more exciting life than I do!
I just love Kim's passion for denim. I'm sure I've seen her in a photo before and remember thinking what a unique style she has. :)- Friday, November 13, 2009 at 5:13:00 AM PST

Rabies was sorry to have missed your lunch, too - especially since he was packed in a box!
I'm so glad you're having fun - I knew you'd like him. I also knew he'd love you and your adventures together.
Thanks for sharing!!- Friday, November 13, 2009 at 6:54:00 AM PST

That was hilarious. When I was really young, my chosen toy was a stuffed monkey I named Johnny after my Uncle! I carted him around for years! Rabies reminded me of that.
Do you get to send him somewhere next Naomi? Perhaps Rabies would enjoy a white christmas in Canada?? :)- Monday, November 16, 2009 at 5:54:00 PM PST

I finally got the "Capturing of a Snuggy" post up... put it up yesterday, about the feat I have to go through to get some snuggles out of him. You'd think with a name like Snug, he'd be easier to snuggle, right? HA HA HA!! No.
But, when I do catch him, he just melts into my arms. :)- Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at 11:25:00 PM PST

O---kaeeee. I am not a monkey person, and I am a bit concerned where this visitor will take you. Name is Rabies? O---kaeeee. Glad the cat is on the job. (Rabies does have a sweet smile...)
