Another day, another set of ridiculous maps.
.
.
Have you ever wanted to mow the lawn or shovel snow in the buff? Apparently it’s illegal for me.
You’re welcome.
.
.
I’ll take second best.
Yay Maine!
.
.
It seems weed rules the roost.
.
.
We have lobsters and Stephen King.
That’s memorable.
.
.
Now that’s a map worth having.
.
.
Ding Dong, Texas?
I’m dying…
🤣
.
.
I can’t argue with the Brits here.
I think they nailed it.
.
,
I’m not from Florida, but this seems pretty accurate as well.
😉
.
.
Useless, but isn’t everything these days?
.
.
I simply don’t understand this.
I know people love their sushi, but damn.
.
.
Sorry Chicago, I’m crossing you off our bucket list.
.
.
Oh sure.
Nothing will go wrong there.
.
.
Now that’s what I call tv worth watching.
Not.
.
.
If you want the full list you can look up the article, but here’s one that had my eyes rolling.
.
.
I can’t decide whether this is stupid beyond measure, or wonderfully bizarre.
.
.
🤣
.
.
I love watching our backyard squirrels.
.
.
Like this poor fellow in the middle who was late to the show and missed a spot in the prime feeders.
.
.
He tried to share space in the larger feeder on the left, but was immediately kicked out by his brethren.
.
.
So an attempt was made on the covered feeder at the end.
And may I just say those are some impressive abs? To heck with a six pack, this boy has a 12.
.
.
The lid is solid metal, too heavy for the poor squirrel to shift.
.
.
And the bottom lip way is too small for the squirrel to perch.
A valiant attempt, but he ended up back on the ground scrounging for fallen seed.
Better luck next time little guy.
😊
.
.
Reading, with cat.
.
.
It’s cute, but not always easy.
And speaking of cats…
.
.
I’m wearing my fair share of battle armor myself and should probably eat healthier.
And speaking of eating healthier, I found this recipe…
.
.
A good for you snack.
And speaking of that…
.
.
I never knew this.
.
.
And am glad I’ve only ever fed our squirrels raw nuts.
.
.
And speaking of squirrels…
.
.
They’ve been driving His Lordship crazy.
.
.
Knowing he can’t reach them…
.
.
They’ve been mercilessly cavorting on our deck providing hours of free kitty entertainment… as well as frustration.
.
.
😊
.
.
It’s not required, by why else would you be here on a Friday ?
.
.
My knee is throbbing with pain, Lord Dudley Mountcatten just raced off the linoleum to vomit on the carpet and I tried to have a bowl of cereal this morning but the milk had turned.
Number 9 for me.
It’s going to be one of those days.
How about you?
Pick a Lucille.
.
.
I like how my Goodreads app summarizes my yearly reading.
.
.
Although they jumped the gun on their annual count this time around.
.
.
As I’d read another 3 books by January first.
.
.
Does size matter?
.
.
Not really, though they always highlight it.
.
.
And look Brian!
One other people have shelved your book.
🤣
.
.
We’ve had some super bright moons this month which makes for better backyard deer photos.
.
.
Until said deer spots you through the window and runs.
.
.
It’s amazing how much they play, running, roughhousing and even kicking each other.
.
.
Maybe it was a full moon influence.
.
.
And no, we don’t live on Tatooine…
It’s just a triple moon reflection on the window.
😉
.
.
Notice anything wrong in this picture?
.
.
Take a closer look.
.
.
I walked into the living room after showering the other day and found the husband had removed our old wall sconces beside the mantle.
.
.
Granted, I’d hated them since we moved in and always sputtered about replacing them but out of nowhere… bam!
The husband was bored, decided to get rid of them and now I have no choice.
Of course he thought we could just go to a store that afternoon and buy new ones. Not realizing that the three largest lighting stores and distributors in our area all closed after Covid.
Finding new fixtures is not as easy as it seems. We visited Lowe’s and Home Depot and were very disappointed. We stopped into a few small boutique accessory stores but the selections were extremely limited. Which means hours of online shopping and not being able to judge quality in person.
After perusing a few sites? I fear purchasing sconces is going to be reminiscent of our furniture shopping debacle.
Here are some of the choices…
.
.
Do I want lights that look like potato wedges?
I do not.
.
.
Like a sponge?
.
.
A tree branch Lord Dudley could climb?
.
.
An orange donut?
.
.
A light saber?
.
.
Or whatever the Hell that is?
No, no, no, no and Hell no.
The search continues….
.
.
You can’t use it, but read it anyway.
.
.
Damn!
Now I really feel old.
.
.
Yes. Someone stole a huge batch of cooked and picked lobster meat that was headed for Costco.
Talk about your giant lobster roll!
🦞
.
.
Worst. Denial. Ever!
The poor beast, look how embarrassed he is.
.
.
And yes, my husband does every single one of them. Cold calling, long texts, butt dialing, and accidental flashlight.
.
.
As far as I’m concerned, this attack is completely justifiable.
.
.
As I crossed over the new bridge to Brunswick…
.
.
X marked the spot.
.
.
For what, I have no idea.
.
.
Not only was I unaware of the slang… I was unaware there’s a Generation Z.
Yay me.
.
.
What the utter hell is that…
And why would you want one?
.
.
A friend recommended this book to me last year but knowing it would trigger some painful memories, I put off reading it until now. Written by a hospice nurse about her strange experiences with death, it put me right back in the room when my mother passed. Some things can’t be explained… but they do happen, I witnessed that first hand. And after reading this book I realized what I thought was astounding is pretty commonplace. Which blew my mind all over again.
.
.
Yes, the squirrels at Casa River are well fed.
.
.
Very well fed.
.
.
❤️

River's world.....
