Remember when I posted about giving the husband some Red Sox memorabilia for his birthday?
.
.
Here’s Lord Dudley Mountcatten sitting above the mint condition 1968 pennant. It arrived in a long padded box, wrapped in layers of wax paper, tissue paper and bubble wrap. It was cherry! Until Dudley pounced on it, ripping it in two places and punching a giant tooth hole in the tip. Sigh.
.
.
Here he is eyeing the kinetic sculpture when my husband gave it an inaugural twirl.
Needless to say I put that out of reach shortly after.

Cats, I love them… but it doesn’t mean they don’t drive me crazy.

I got this announcement from WordPress the other day. And while I’m flattered they’re keeping track of my posts, I had to wonder at the random number. Is 1337 something to celebrate?
.
.
I ordered this customized coffee mug for a friend and can’t wait to give it to her. ( our names are underneath the chairs but have been removed to protect the not so innocent ) That’s me on the left with the margarita and the figure I haven’t seen for 20 or so years. Hair, drinks, skin tone and shirt are customizable but they didn’t have an overweight and menopausal option, go figure.
.
.
But I admit, it does describe our relationship perfectly.
.
In other news…. I’m scheduled to receive my first Covid vaccine this morning. Maine has done a remarkable job with the roll out and I’m looking forward to being on the road to fully protected as well as doing my part to stop the spread of this horrible life altering virus.

Your cat’s an Orioles fan…

First, is there such a thing as out of reach for a cat?
Second, I’m fully vaccinated, and I’m excited for you!!!

Probably not, but Dudley is usually well behaved. His aversion to the Sox may be a problem…

I love that mug. What a great gift. Sorry about the pennant. Not a fan, but still sorry.
I looked 1337 up when I got that. It’s a wildly out of date message. “Leet Speak, or l33t speak, or 1337 speak, stood for elite speak…” which was a kind of code used by gamers in the late 1990s. They were all probably too young to drink, what did they know.

Interesting. My blog can be called a lot of things, but elite isn’t one of them.

Sorry about the pennant, I’m not into baseball but sorry still. I’m pretty sure Sir Dudley is a football fan so maybe that’s the problem. Great mug, that so freaking cool, do tell where you purchased.
I’m so glad your getting the vaccine, let me know how it goes.

The mug was one of those silly Facebook ads I’m always blogging about… can’t remember the name. Next time it comes up I’ll grab a link.

Yes, Cats are just children with fur who never grow up. Please keep important papers and valuables out of reach. To bad it wasn’t hung on the wall, immediately.

Love the Sox, but can’t stand the fiddleheads. Good thing because damn, they’re expensive.

I remember picking fiddleheads up around Pushaw Lake. I probably liked them because my Grandpa liked them.
