Do you Wordle?

.

I didn’t, but now I do.

.

.

And damn, judging from my very first attempt?

I rock!

.

.

Considering I had no earthly idea what I was doing, I am proud of myself.

In case you don’t already know Wordle is the new game that’s taken over the internet. It’s web based, not an app… and you can only play once a day. So while I think it’s going to be addicting, there’s no danger of wasting countless hours staring at a screen.

The premise is simple. The daily puzzle is one 5 letter word and you have six chances to guess it. Everyone gets the same word so it’s become something of a world wide competition.

Sound simple? Trust me, it’s not.

.

.

While I lucked out on my first puzzle and guessed it in three, the next day I didn’t guess it all and was extremely frustrated. (I will henceforth hate the word knoll and it’s dastardly kn consonant combination.)

So Google “Wordle… A Daily Word Game” and give it a go.

And let us know how you did.

.

The sign of a disorganized mind?

.

My husband started working from home in March of 2020, you know… the year when life as we knew it ended. This means he took over my (always neat, clean and organized) office.

The husband?

Not so neat, clean and organized.

In case you didn’t know, he is the King of Post Its.

.

.

Files? Who needs ‘em when you have open wall space.

.

.

The overflow covered my printer…

.

.

And the top of my A through F collection of vinyl.

Yes, my old record albums are crated alphabetically.

I told you I was organized.

.

I think my phone hates me.

.

You know I enjoy these things.

.

.

New Year’s resolutions. Everyone makes them, no one keeps them.

.

.

I don’t know about you, but I could definitely use a better year.

.

.

Her phone knows her too well.

.

.

Finally, a resolution worth keeping.

And lastly, there’s mine.

A resolution from my much loved and loyal iPhone.

.

.

Well, damn.

I wasn’t expecting that.

😳

.

Two’s company, three’s a crowd.

.

Three grey squirrels were braving the elements for a nosh during our last snow storm.

.

.

This fellow was first to the tray feeder, scrambling up the pole and settling in to munch.

.

.

Squirrel number two had a harder time with the slippery pole….

.

.

But after a few comical attempts… made it to the tray of treats.

.

.

Squirrel #1 was not happy to share and a major scuffle broke out, but it was over quickly and a truce was called.

.

.

All was well until squirrel #3 showed up.

.

.

He climbed the pole 4 times and was booted off in no uncertain terms.

.

.

Two is company… and apparently three is one squirrel too many.

.

The trend continues…

.

If someone could explain the recent internet obsession with poo, I’d be obliged.

It’s everywhere I look these days and each product seems to get progressively worse. Case in point?

Sherbet the Shitting Flamingo.

.

.

Whaaaat?

.

.

This begs the question… what happens if Sherbet doesn’t make it to the toilet on time?

.

.

Look how gleefully this child feeds the bird. You can almost feel her excitement at the result….

.

.

Gone. In a see through commode.

I’m sure it will be a best seller.

Sigh.

.

Feeling a little crabby?

.

If you’ve ever gotten hangry, you’ll appreciate the peculiar talent of the next weird creature on my calendar.

The Yeti crab.

.

.

At any given moment, this fellow has a veritable refrigerator full of yummy snacks at his fingertips.

You can’t argue with that.

.

.

And now let’s check how close the drawing is to the original.

.

.

I’m giving that a 3.

The general idea is there…. but it’s lacking the magnificence of those wonderfully hairy legs.

And aside from the fact it looks like a giant tick, that leg fuzz is begging to be petted.

.

.

Well, I didn’t say petting it was a particularly good idea.

.

Screw you Facebook!

.

Like it isn’t bad enough we haven’t travelled anywhere since Christmas 2019.

As if I don’t miss the annual large trip and three smaller vacations we used to take every year.

Because Covid hasn’t made life as sedentary and boring as possible? Facebook has to twist the knife in a little deeper with their constant “memories” feature.

On this day three years ago you were happy!

.

.

On this day three years ago you were exploring Sedona Arizona!

.

.

On this day three years ago you had no idea life would soon come to a screeching halt!

.

.

So cut it out Facebook!

I don’t need to be reminded how much I loved traveling… I realize it every time we treat walking over to the man cave/Barn Mahal like a weekend getaway.

.

.

I totally saw a yacht at sea.

How pathetic is that?

.

Pandemic humor… the wine edition.

.

Because we could all do with a little more wine right about now.

.

.

Testing.

It’s so important.

.

.

To be honest, I currently have 18 rolls of toilet paper in my closet.

My ancestors might have used the Sears catalog in the outhouse but I don’t want to. Especially since it’s online these days.

.

.

A mask no one will refuse to wear!

.

.

It’s all about safety.

I miss hopping from winery to winery for tastings, but this could work.
