Cocktail tweaking and a very spoiled cat.

.

As you may know, I enjoy a cocktail now and then.

.

.

So it should come as no surprise that I enjoy the occasional cocktail tweak as well

Here are two I’ve just discovered but have yet to try…

.

.

Thyme and orange G&T’s sound fabulous.

.

.

A drop of blackberry jam in my Cosmo?

Why not!

( Though I can guarantee you my quantity levels will be considerably higher. 0.75 Oz of Cointreau? Bitch, please! )

Lord Dudley Mountcatten does not require cat food tweaking and is perfectly happy with his Fancy Feast. This does not mean he isn’t spoiled rotten in every other way…

.

.

Yes, he’s commandeered my heating pad, and yes… if we don’t turn it on when he pounces on it we get the look.

Do you have that certain someone on your Christmas list? The person you feel obligated to buy a gift for even though deep down, you’d rather not?

I may have the solution…

.

.

What’s that you say…

It’s not awful enough?

Then how about these –

.

.

They’ll go perfectly with that sweater you bought them last year.

I love my town.

It’s time for small town news again…. so city folk can see what they’re missing.

No worries. Said piggy was reunited with his family and is safely back home.

The want ads in small rural towns tend to look a bit different.

.

.

Spleeny- New England : peevish and irritable with hypochondriac inclinations.

.

.

I’m almost afraid to ask why someone wants to rehome a skeleton.

.

.

I’m going to pass this one on to my husband because he came home from breakfast with the boys the other day bitching that his omelette had gone up a dollar.

I know I’m paying more for groceries, it stands to reason restaurants are as well.

Let’s play.

Yes, we’re still doing these.

The easy answer is dust bunnies, but let’s actually take a look. I’ve been known to use the space under our bed for storage so there’s no telling what we’ll find.

.

.

As of today, there are two things. A box of extra dishes….

Because #1 – you can never have too many dishes. And #2 – when the current pattern you’re using hits the sale rack, you stock up.

.

.

The other item crammed under our bed is a turntable used to convert vinyl into MP3 files. The husband bought it for my birthday a while back because I have a massive album collection. He also bought me the iPod that holds 35,000 plus songs…. so I spent countless hours ( read days, weeks, months ) playing and converting the obscure music of my youth.

Moon Martin? Check!

.

.

The Flying Burrito Bothers? Sure.

And man, did I love me some Del Fuegos.

.

.

So fess up, what’s under your bed?

Antique store horrors.

You never know what you’ll find when you go antique shopping. Suffering from a nervous disorder?

.

.

Plug in for instant relief. Or electrocution …

Searching for a few taxidermied squirrel asses?

.

.

Look no more.

I actually wanted to buy the smaller one of these for the man cave… ( it’s the closest I’ll ever get to killing that little red bitch who chews through our walls ) but the husband wouldn’t let me.

.

.

Need to give multiple fingers at once? They have that too.

And finally, if you want to suck out the souls of your grandchildren this Christmas?

.

.

Vintage Santa is waiting with open arms.

😳
