Little Creature

This makes me feel very little.

Puzzled

Where can you find Aristotle and cheese curd?

And where can you learn that a booby's a seabird?

Not with Ted or with Bill,

But adventurous still!

They're the answers to clues in my daily CROSSWORD!

Happy Hump Day!

I'm all about the videos this week...I guess that makes me lazy. Ah well. Here's to a very happy Wednesday. Do not try this at home...unless you are a drunk frenchman.

Thanks for the post, Em.

Like Christmas in July! You're getting your Friday limerick early this week...because it's MY Friday (woohoo!) and because I'm just too giddy about this one to let it sit in scheduled status for another 12 hours.

To the tune of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music

Tissues and fingers, not cat toys or feathers;
Claws digging deep into couches of leather;
Crumpled up papers and laces, not strings:
These are a few of my favorite things.

Black beans and chicken and eggs and white cheeses,
Wide open windows and cool autumn breezes;
Mewing while stalking God's creatures with wings:
These are a few of my favorite things.

Back scratches, ear rubs, but not hugs or cuddles,
Splish-splash in my water, I'm makin' big puddles;
That magic appliance and tuna it brings:
These are a few of my favorite things........

When the door slams! When it thunders! When I'm feeling sad...
I'll pounce on your stomach while your fast asleep, and then I won't feeeeeeeel soooo baaaaaad.

Tuesdays aren't so bad...

So I've had what I would consider a pretty productive day so far!

• Got to work early (and by early, I mean on time).
• Had the breakfast of champions: A pumpkin spiced latte from Starbizzles and a bag of Sun Chips - Harvest Cheddar flavor, of course.
• Discovered Lilu and Maxie ...two of my new favorite people in cyber land. At least based on their last 4 posts. I may delve further into their worlds and discover that they disappoint me. I'll keep you posted.
• And re-remember-realized that I DON'T HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW! Thanks Veterans! For serious though. Thank you. Whether they saw battle or were sent overseas or not, they signed up for a job that carried that potential and that responsibility. Our vets have done a wonderful, honorable thing for us that not many people throughout history have been willing to do. And to all those Marines in my life - happy birthday!
• And with that, I'll add: "Got all choked up and emotional about Veterans Day" to my list of things I did today.

And it's not even noon!

If you're not feeling oh so "Tuesday?! I LOVE Tuesdays!!!" today (or if you are. whatever. I'm not here to judge), here's some good clean fun that'll put a little spring in yo' step: The Late Movies: Security Camera Dance-Off (Thanks for the share, Em!)

For the Love of Bert and Ernie!!!

Your eyes are so bright and your smile is merry,

But above those bright eyes things get overly hairy.

People ogle at you

'Cuz you've one brow, not two!

Pluck your dang unibrow! You look scary!

Happy Hump Day!

It's Wednesday, y'all!





And I'm not ashamed to admit that I had 1/2 a bag of goldfish crackers for breakfast this morning. And I'll have the other 1/2 at lunch.

Musings from Door Dounty

This is me operating under the influence of wine and instigating friends. Apparently inappropriate limericks fall out of my mouth in public when I'm with Sarah and Michelle, as witnessed by our poor waiter in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin a few weeks ago. Here's a cleaner version of one such limerick:

New York

I went to New York and was feeling quite flirty,
But most of the girls there were lookin' quite dirty!
I came home with the clap
And you can't give that back;
Well, so much for sex after thirty!

And to our endlessly patient waiter. Not my best work, but I have no doubt he was delighted to see this limerick on the paper table cloth upon our departure (or perhaps he was delighted simply because of our departure).

Thank you for serving our fabulous meal,
You served with a smile and unending zeal.
You brought me a new dish,
When my bread flopped like a fish,
Thanks so much for keeping it real!
