More Pandemic humor.

 

Because some things you just can’t get enough of.

 

 

This is quite true, at least for me. I’m constantly amazed at the stories on social media of how productive people are being with their forced spare time. Amazed, and a little annoyed.

Stop it over achievers…

You’re making me look bad.

 

 

It was all right there…

We just didn’t see it.

 

 

If only I had stocked up.

My dream home in Tuscany would be that much closer.

 

 

Nothing.

Not a single thing…

Because I know you were anxiously awaiting it’s return…..

 

It’s back.

The ongoing baby barn remodeling saga…. and for those of you just joining us? Consider yourself lucky you missed the first 300 episodes.

Winter is over in Maine, we think…. so work has begun anew.

On Saturday afternoon rotted wood was replaced.

And the silly man I’m married to tried to make everything square.

 

IMG_3395

 

Look at him with his little level. Isn’t that cute?

If you remember anything from last year, you’ll know the terms level and square are completely relative when dealing with this nightmare of a building.

But hope springs eternal, and maybe sometime before we’re through that damned bubble will be in the right position.

The last of the Zip siding was installed…

And yes, that’s my husband’s back…. as he refused to smile for my camera.

 

IMG_3420

 

I can never quite figure his modus operandi when he works on a project……. and wondered why he made his way from the outside in to meet in the middle.

 

IMG_3421

 

This doesn’t usually bode well when you’re using a tongue and groove design.

I  (oh so)  helpfully told him this, but of course he paid no attention because I’m a woman and what do I know?

 

men

 

Well, yes.

As a matter of fact he is.

 

IMG_3427

 

But when he tried to fit that last piece?

I admit it, I chortled while he cursed.

Which I enjoyed, because really… the world needs more chortling.

 

IMG_3426

 

Apparently I did chortle a little too loudly because I also got the look.

Which, after 36 years…. he should know has positively no effect.

 

IMG_3428

 

A little trimmed tar paper later and he called it day.

 

 

 

Well, no good came from that.

 

I’m speaking of the (oh so helpful) post I did the other day about that most wonderful product……  the butt mask.

I hate to say it, but I’m afraid that bit me in the ass.

You see, right after I posted it? I noticed I had a few new followers:

 

IMG_E3388

 

Not the shoe woman or the wine lover… those are totally understandable.

No, I’m talking about Pistol Pete.

Whose blogs are a little out of my area of expertise.

 

IMG_E3387

 

Am I ready for men’s thong underwear?

No, Pete. I most assuredly am not.

And if Pete wasn’t bad enough? I also picked up his alter ego Daniel Alexander.

 

IMG_E3389

 

I must not know about this.

Really. I mustn’t.

 

IMG_E3390

 

Nothing. There’s no occasion that calls for male G string underwear.

Office party? Nope!

Dinner with friends? Nyet!

Your mother in law’s birthday? Well, maybe….

 

 

IMG_E3391

 

I’ll throw this one over to my male readers.

What do you say guys… are they comfortable?

 

nut

 

In closing, the moral of the story is….

Don’t blog about butt masks.

 

IMG_E3392

 

And say goodbye to Pistol Pete as fast as you can.

 

 

Crazy like a…..

 

You knew where this was headed.

Our beautiful pair of foxes from last year are back.

 

IMG_1710

 

Which means I’m laying in a steady supply of grain free vitamin filled dry dog food with taurine.

 

IMG_1733

 

Along with fresh strawberries and blueberries.

 

IMG_1709

 

Why?

Because a veterinarian friend told me that’s the best thing to feed them.

And because this:

Is only available for sale in England.

It’s that time again…

Some random photographs….

Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.

 

This one is interesting, as it’s spam…. about not wanting spam.

You don’t often find that kind of symmetry in life.

And on the 8th day, the government starts screwing with our vacation…

Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

 

Thanks for sharing.

Not.

Myspace?

Clearly this spammer is using a Tardis.

Jennette’s Pier Part 2…. and some fish whispering.

Hi Jennettes Pier Part 2…. and some fish whispering.

Article is well written and is very useful.
Have you heard about this new way to make your baby fall asleep
in minutes? – http://bit.ly/Gets-Your-Baby-to-Sleep
Your baby is wonderful!! Kiss you All!

 

I’ve had a lot of nicknames over the years, but fish whisperer wasn’t one of them.

And my baby is wonderful?

Damn. I don’t even remember being pregnant.

OMG…

Junior!!!

 

 

Well, you can’t blame him.

 

Our resident chucker was a bit ticked off the other day.

 

IMG_1683

 

He was out back in the sun, enjoying a few apples…

 

IMG_1684

 

Happily posing for pictures….

And an hour later?

Bam!

 

IMG_1686

 

One cold woodchuck.

 

IMG_1698

 

We had a squall move in from out of nowhere.

 

IMG_1694

 

And I’m sure he was rethinking the decision to come out of hibernation.

 

IMG_1700

 

No, he wasn’t happy.

With the snow…. or me.

Getting my geek on.

 

While I’m not a huge television person, I do tend to leave the husband to his own devices at night ( and by this I mean John Wayne and MSNBC, not self gratification )  and curl up in bed with a remote of my own on occasion.

More often than not? I’ll be watching some dry as toast documentary that no one else finds the least bit appealing.

Case in point?

 

IMG_3127

 

Yeah…. I loved it.

And if you’re wondering why the husband and I have to watch separate tv’s?

I once made him watch a 4 part series about Kublai and Genghis Khan called  “Mongol Horde… Storm From The East”.  He fell asleep 10 minutes into every episode and still never forgave me.

On my current DVR list?

 

 

Forbidden History is my jam.

Juicy secrets from the past….. what’s not to love?

 

IMG_3125

 

I just discovered Unearthed.

And have been walking through the Valley of the Kings, marveling over ancient Thebes and reading hieroglyphs from the Temple of Karnak …. in my pajamas.

You can’t beat that with a stick.

I also record PBS’s Nature.

How could I not?

 

People can be so hateful.

 

I know tax time can be a stressful time of year, even now when the deadline has been rolled back.

And I know some people are still anxiously awaiting their stimulus checks.

But please, can we all just take a breath and have a little common decency?

The following is a recent FB post from the mother of a friend of mine. She’s a widow in her 70’s who works for H&R Block at tax time to supplement her fixed income.

The fact that she even has to say this saddens me.

 

 

 

So please, calm down.

We’re all in this together.

Even the tax accountants.

Because it’s my duty to share these things.

 

You can thank me later.

 

 

I was flipping through a magazine the other day and saw this little blurb of a review.

 

 

Needless to say, I was perplexed.

Buttne?

Exfoliating ass masks?

Excuse me while I crawl back under my rock where such things don’t exist.

 

 

Yes…. it’s a real thing.

And according to the description? Will get your behind ready for prime time.

 

 

Here’s a helpful product review.

 

 

So if you’re looking for a new beauty regime… or if your posterior just needs a little freshening up?

You know who to thank.
