No, he’s not spoiled. Why do you ask?

I came home from the grocery store the other day and found this:

.

.

A bird viewing platform assembled by the husband for our slightly spoiled but quite adorable cat.

.

.

Consisting of one dining room chair and a filthy, covered in cobwebs, paint stained step stool from the garage.

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten was quite pleased with it. I would have been more pleased had he washed off the 10 years worth of dirt the step stool had accumulated in the garage.

.

.

And men wonder why we murder them in their sleep…

Have you ever given any thought to spaghetti? It’s not my favorite dish, but the husband loves it so I have to cook it more often than I’d prefer.

.

.

Now I can’t stop thinking about all that back and forth. Ridiculous, no?

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten was cackling up a storm the other day. And no.. my windows are not normally that dirty, but the poor cat was positively drooling.

.

.

That little red bitch is such a tease.

.

.

The mere mention of Baby Shark has set that awful tune playing in my head again. If they’re going to roll out another equally as terrifying ear worm? We’re all doomed.

Nope. Uh uh. Not happening.

Another attempt at winter cat walking was made this week. The husband bundled up against the chill and Lord Dudley Mountcatten happily donned his harness for an excursion into the wilds of our backyard. All was proceeding nicely …

.

.

Until we opened the door and the cold air hit his pansy ass feline self.

.

.

At which point he turned tail and jumped right on the heating pad.

.

.

His Lordship is most definitely a fair weather beast.

You know your cat is spoiled when he gets lifted up to the window to watch the birds.

Pint of beer my husband recently received at our local pub. I detest IPA’s, but beer is my juice of choice.

.

.

Results of a horrible multi unit fire that displaced 10 people in our town. This is what the old farm used to look like in the 1800’s.

.

.

By the following day a gofundme campaign had raised $14,000. For a town with a population of just over 700, I’d say we’re pretty generous folk.

.

.

A mussel appetizer the husband ordered this week. I stopped counting at 38. Definitely get your money’s worth there.

.

.

It’s true. He told me….

.

.

This.

This is what happens when temperatures rise too quickly in what should be winter in Maine. All our lovely snow melts, freezes and melts again. We have a skating rink driveway and mini floods everywhere because the ground is still too cold to absorb the water.

This…. is a mess.

Our neighbors. The larger horse is an absolute bully and follows closely behind the pony nipping his butt all day long.

I keep rooting for the little guy to give him a good swift kick, but clearly he’s a pacifist.

A recently purchased tee shirt. I can never resist a funny brewery slogan, but when I researched this one I discovered it just sells equipment. No matter, it’s still beer related.

The look your cat gives you when you don’t share your chicken salad sandwich.

Sorry Dudley, it had onions. I couldn’t.

Since turning 50? This is the story of my life.

Not as much fun as it used to be.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten used to love going outside. I’d say “walkies” in my best falsetto and he’d bound into the room anxiously awaiting the harness and leash. Now that full Maine winter has arrived?

.

.

He’s still anxious to go out, but not so thrilled with staying there.

.

.

And looks at us as if to say, “My feet are cold. What the hell?”

.

.

And makes a bee line back to the nice warm couch.

I’m not a big football fan, and since those dastardly 49ers ousted my beloved cheese in the playoffs… I really don’t care much about the Super Bowl this year. (Except for the commercials of course) But I dutifully watched the Bengals put my second choice Chief’s quarterback Patrick Mahones to sleep in the back half of last weekend’s game all the same. And as I gazed on that giant sea of red in Arrowhead stadium… it made me wonder what all those seats were raking in.

Behold – Ticketmaster’s prices for the game.

.

.

Holy crap on a cracker!

It’s been a long time since I attended a professional football game, and from the look of those prices it seems that I won’t ever be going again.

.

.

Felines are strange creatures.

Like this one who had a catnip pouch on his belly… but was too stoned to care.

.

.

We’ve been having snow storms with really large flakes lately. The photo doesn’t do it justice.

.

.

Now that’s a winter wonderland.

A few useless headlines from my news feed, just because.

Help me out here Florida people. Does this really happen? And if so, why are you not posting pictures! Random lizards falling from the sky should rate a blog now and then.

.

.

It’s official… even the Queen is feeling the pinch of inflation. Keep your eye on eBay, there might be some nice jewelry up for bid soon.

.

.

Most excellent. Here’s hoping they let Willow roam the halls of Congress and poop in Ted Cruz’s briefcase.

.

.

Are we?

I’m not, but if you are … please share. I’ve heard it’s called the God molecule and people experience death when tripping. That doesn’t sound like my idea of a good time, but to each their own.

Sonoran desert toad is not impressed.
