Funny Bone--Post Thanksgiving Addition

Why we will probably not have a tree this year-- I imagine with Squirt around, it'll faint daily. 

We may just have to do this:

Flash back to my teen years!

Because College is Expensive!

So this is a bit of a plug for my daughter, who has just started a Redbubble store. Right now she just has a few items listed, all Christmas themed, but hopefully she will be adding more later, probably fan-based items. Anyway, take a look here. And thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Funny Bone-- Because We All Need Some Laughs This Week

Funny Bone, But In A Strange Mood

I'm not ready for the Holidays. Nope. Would be happy to skip 'em this year:

And I tend to find humor in the morbid at times:

And, well, who wouldn't:

Because Some People Just Don't Get It

Wow-- it's amazing how Facebook exploded with the whole "scandal" of the red cup, and it appears that most of my Christian friends see it as ridiculous. (Personally, I find the red to be quite festive.) Who even started it? Does anyone know? I'm guessing Faux News, but that's just an educated guess. Or maybe Trump. It's possible he has a beef with Starbucks. Anyway, he made a fair amount of noise during his Springfield appearance about it (sullying my state just by being here). Now my husband wants one of those cups so he can carry it around at work, just to see if some of the holier then thou people he works with will comment. (No, he's not passive/aggressive at all--okay, maybe quite alot.) My guess is, in the long run, it's just going to get Starbucks more business, instead of the reverse. I don't go there often, simply because I'm fine with black coffee that I can get at Casey's for a buck, but this might just prompt a visit when I travel to "the big city" this weekend. Okay, Effingham isn't really a big city, but my little village doesn't host any Christian persecuting coffee shops. In the mean time, I guess my non-Christian household will just have to make do with  red Solo cups!

Things I Found.. Well, You Know

Halloween Is Over

I've always loved Christmas, but right at this moment I think I would be happy to just skip it. Oh, I'm sure I wouldn't, but I would love to keep it very simple. Which may happen. I'm sure Squirt is going to see a Christmas tree as one big kitty toy, so we may not even put one up. The same goes for most of my holiday decorations. Cat toys, all. And the gift giving is going to be, by necessity, limited. I think I'm just dreading cold weather, to be honest! I used to love this time of year; cuddling up with a throw blanket and a cup of hot chocolate and a book. I'm dreading losing my lounge chair on the deck in the sun with a cold beer in my hand.

Where was I going with this? Oh, yeah. I just ran out to Dollar General for fabric softener and there is Christmas stuff all over the place. I'm surprised they weren't playing Christmas music! Let the holiday's commence!
