Maybe I’m Just Tired

(My heavy head is full of debris  -As Tall As Lions)
Like my sick kitty, the wisdom teeth, the car mirror, locking the keys  in the car, getting my hand stuck in the shredding bin, and people who don’t help their kids.
(I know we’re all souls just trying to connect with someone – As Tall As [...]

Evidence that my pets hatch evil plans

 Zelda contemplates holiday decor.

She thinks there is too much red and green in the house. She will destroy what she can…and stealthily leave the scene.

Cardmaker

The cats and I are making cards.

I didn’t ask for their opinion, but they give it anyway.

Whatever. I’m a cardmaker. A creative genius. What do cats know anyway?
I listen to the Perishers and enjoy making a mess.

Later I’ll enjoy peeling glue off my fingers, while watching Grey’s Anatomy. Awesome.

What is vim and what is vigor?

Sleep a little later. Feed the cats. It always starts with feeding the cats.
Eat pie for breakfast. Sneeze a few times and wonder why my nose is stuffed. Linger over that cup of morning coffee with Finding George Orwell in Burma. Start Hamlet’s Dresser by Bob Smith.
Hang clothes on the line. Wash dishes. Pull a few weeds. Fuss over potted [...]

Head on

 
One day your cats will be watching TV, and they’ll see the ad for the headache cure “Head On”. They’ll decide that the next time you have a really bad headache, say a headache so bad it forces you to put a pillow over your head to keep the light out, that one of them [...]

Last week I slept well in a cozy bed & breakfast. This week Lily steals my pillow and sleeps on my head. 
Last week I had smoked turkey paninis and creme brulee for lunch. This week [...]

Experience that counts

I suck at Paint, but it’s the thought that counts.

something about a hurricane

…something about a hurricane but it’s really a tropical storm named Fay.  We put the computers up on the desks and covered them in plastic and took the backup tapes home and cancelled appointments for tomorrow. No work tomorrow and all the schools and county offices are closed. 
I have water and spaghetti o’s and granola bars. [...]

Upsanddownsandupsanddownsdowns

Down: On the way to a college music audition a car may be stopped in the middle of a very busy 6 lane highway and you may not be able to stop in time to avoid hitting it
Up: You think you are fucked and about to become the middle part of a multi-car wreck, but everyone else is able to stop [...]

New Year’s Rain

This silly picture is from an old children’s book my sister gave me a few years ago, Father Tuck’s Annual. Animals wearing clothing is always good for a chuckle and the caption under this picutre seems especially capricious. Happy New Year! Party on! Blow me down! Good times and silliness for all.
For those of us who [...]
