Traumatic Tuesday
You won't believe what humiliation and torture those human pets subjected us to this time! Tell them, Amber!
Oh, the horror! I'm still recovering from the shock of it all...no, you tell it, Mouse!
Flashback...
Here I am...minding my own business doing what cats do naturally...and then the human pets swept down on us ...
and stuffed us into these kitty jails when we didn't even do anything!
Then we were dragged out into the night and catnapped to this awful place that lets in all manner of base animals--like dogs--and we were assaulted by a tall skinny man in blue scrubs who stuck us with sharp needles and told our pets that we were fat and had to go on diets!
The nerve!
But that's all right...what goes around comes around. The pets were paid back for their cruelty when all the power went out in the house later that evening. There was silence in the house...no television, no music, no computers, no lights. We were the only ones who could see in the dark without flashlights!
The two adult pets couldn't sleep because there was no electricity for their CPAP machines. That'll show you, we thought, able to make our way into any nook or cranny without walking into a wall. Bet you pets will never try that again!
Wrong...tune in tomorrow.
::Christmas Elf Gifs::
Onesome: Christmas-- "Christmas is coming; the goose is getting fat..." Nope, I'm not going there, not by a long shot! How about: Even though we just finished up the Thanksgiving meal, what dish are you looking forward to most at Christmas time? ...and yes, Christmas cookies count!
Irish soda bread--if I make it, usually it's only around Christmas. Then, of course, there's all the Christmas cookies -- that I won't enjoy unless I find some from Weight Watchers!
Twosome: Elf-- Who is your favorite Christmas Elf? Mom? Dad? Will Farrell? That guy who helps you at the tree place each year?
TB
Threesome: Gifs-- How about your favorite bit of Christmas artwork? Is it a painting? ...a cartoon? ...your special ornament? ...the tree in the town square?
There's someone in the neighborhood who does up the house and we can see it when we cross the bridge to and from our development. I call it "the showboat" and Kristin calls it the "Titanic".
I have too many favorite ornaments to try and choose one.
I love Renaissance art. Here is just one example, a wood cutting of Joseph, Mary & Baby Jesus by Albrecht Durer.
There are other famous works, too, by Da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo...check them out online!
