HAWK! CODE RED!
There is a hawk; at least I think it is a hawk that has been cruising the skyways around our neighborhood the past few months.
While we were outside with Gucci the hawk flew overhead and started to circle our house. The feathered airliner had her eye on our little pup. Gucci, weighing in at only [...]
Signs of spring
These branches are from the scrub oak outside my desk window.
You may smile with anticipation as you gaze upon the bumpy sections of the tree because those bumps must be promising buds of spring time right? Wrong. They are some type of tree disease and those swollen woody knots are actually living bug things. At [...]
Biggest Loser
Extra post!
While I was watching 4 men in matching sweat suits cry and hug each other like someone had died and blubbering tender statements such as “you gotta take care of my brother man!” And “I love these guys they have brought me to manhood, I guess” and “I’ve been on this earth 31 years [...]
Even during our phone conversations you will be required to wear a surgical mask.
You have the Flu?
Listen you sickly bastards. I have absolutely no tolerance for your illness. Do you think your little flu shot malfunction was by mistake? Oh devil, you have much to learn.
Let’s start with the basics. If you are ill stay home, you don’t need to eat so take a long leave of absence [...]
Pictures of me
My children have drawn pictures of me a million times. But for some reason when I was handed this portrait today I had to stop myself from yelling “are you serious? Are you blind?” But instead I took it and told her “you are so sweet, look you even captured my golden highlights, and um, [...]
Oscar
You may want to sit down. For what I am about to tell you may come as a surprise.
I do not have an Oscar.
Although the academy has overlooked my acting skills, I am blessed and honored to have Oliver.
Instead of iron and gold he is made of pine.
But he is more graceful
And flexible
And he looks better naked.
And you [...]
Even the deer like to go to Claude’s
During this time of year we have many deer visit our yard, which also means they are in Claude’s yard. Even though they seem to like our yard better, I know they are thankful for Claude’s yard because it is a wonderful place to take care of their business.
The deer are always careful to respect our [...]
Because we are friends you’ll care
Do you see anything wrong with this photo?
One of these photos is NOT like the other,
which of these things are kind of the same?
Well? Did you figure it out???
That’s right, the checker at Target did NOT take the instant in store coupons.
Travis thinks it’s ridiculous I have become enraged at Target for ripping me off [...]
Eating Crow
I am the type of person that raises an eye at any adult who actually spends hours and hours in front of a video game. As a young girl I was quite fond of Mario Bros and even though you may catch me humming the synthesized tune from Mario while vacuuming I could never be [...]
Livin’ the dream
As I was changing my son after yet another blowout which has become my daily duty it hit me; I am doing absolutely nothing to make him want to leave the nest. He has a housekeeper, a chef, a personal nurse, and a driver all in which are at his complete beck and call. And [...]
