Ready?
Let’s play!
.

.
And for the sake of equality, let’s add ‘or penis’ to the instructions.
.

.
Yes, I’m afraid we are. Here, I’ll go first.
The name of my vagina is…. Homeland.
Which you have to admit is pretty damn spectacular.

Because he’s simply too photogenic not to share.
.

.
Dudley likes to play with balls, and basically any round thing that rolls.
.

.
Including raspberries his human drops on the floor.
.

.
He also likes to stretch….
.

.
And then runs out of energy before getting back in his original position. He sleeps like this all the time.
.

.
While his takeover of the house is pretty much complete, from the look of this photo…. I fear the television might be next.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten loves to play.
.

.
Which is why we have an entire drawer dedicated to cat toys.
.

.
He loves his toys long and hard … and his favorite mouse is looking a little worse for wear these days.
.

.
But then so am I, so I shouldn’t judge.
His favorite new thing to do is carry a ball to a spot under the coffee table….
.

.
And then wind himself around a leg.
.

.
He goes around and around in a circle and it’s quite comical to watch.
.

.
Until I took a closer look and realized most of the coffee table legs now look like this…
.

.
Sigh.
.
.
So the free pool table… the one that has cost us approximately $14,000 ( and counting ) in storage barn to man cave renovations… actually saw some action last weekend.
.

.
Two of the husband’s coworkers came by for the afternoon (no worries, all 3 men are fully vaccinated) for Cajun gumbo, beer and pool. I don’t play, so I know my other half was happy. And me? I was happy because I received another bar christening gift.
.

.
I’d never even heard of this whiskey but it turned out to have a pleasing toasted undertone.
.

.
After two games of pool, it was determined the table needed to go from horizontal placement to vertical to allow more shooting space.
.

.
Which then required multiple leveling maneuvers. Turns out the barn floor is not at all level. Shocking, I know.
.

.
Play continued into the night, as did the whiskey drinking and strange reflections from the overhead lighting.
A good time was had by all… and let me tell you, it was nice to host even two people after a year of no socializing with friends.
😊
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten is a constant source of entertainment.
.

.
And not just a little bit goofy.
.

.
But who can blame him? When you have a fun toy permanently attached to your ass, you have to make the most of it….
.
.
He’s a weirdo.
.

.
But a lovable weirdo.
.
.
.
Yes, this might be a thing for a while.
.

.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten has discovered my computer… and in typical cat fashion must get in between me and it whenever I attempt usage.
.

.
And as you can see by his level of relaxation….
.

.
He has finally decided we are fit to live with and worthy enough to wait on him hand and foot.
.

.
His highness is not overly thrilled with being picked up and cuddled…
.

.
But realizes the daily allotment of weed is dependent upon keeping the humans amused.
.

.
Why is it every time you try to video a cat playing with toys they stop dead and stare at you?
.
.
.
My weekly skunking of the husband at Scrabble in the Barn Mahal continues. And now? Even the tiles are getting in on the fun…
.

.
Yes, those were really the letters I drew. And it’s pretty much what I did to the husband in game number one.
Not to be out done, our second game’s tiles had their say as well.
.

.
My last four letters said it all.
Sorry, dear. I only do what the tiles tell me…
.
.
Since skunking my husband at Scrabble has become a weekly pastime… I decided to up our game.
Literally.
.

.
Bigger tiles for the where the hell did I leave my reading glasses now? visually challenged due to encroaching decrepitude crowd.
.

.
And a much bigger, fancier, wooden, swiveling board with raised ridges to keep the letters in place.
How much bigger?
.

.
Well, the box said giant and that’s a pretty apt description.
.

.
So far we’re loving it.
But I’m afraid it’s going to have to be a permanent decorative fixture… because if you think the board is big, you should see the friggin’ enormous box it came in.
.
.
So I had to buy it.
.

.
Because our weekly Scrabble games demanded it… and I’m tired of the husband getting mad when I tell him his word doesn’t exist.
.

.
Hornito is a mound of volcanic matter?
I always thought it was a tequila.
.

.
I admit to not knowing recta was the plural of rectum… and won’t comment on its proximity to the word rectory.
Nope. Not going there.
And speaking of Jesus…
.

.
All this was fascinating but I draw the line here.
.

.
Grr should not be an acceptable Scrabble word.
And grrrl?
Apparently it references a feminist punk rock movement in the Northwest called Riot Grrrl.
I call foul. And despise common usage additions to dictionaries.
P.S. don’t tell my husband.
.
.
Is it wrong that I’m taking great pleasure from whipping my other half in our weekly Scrabble games in the Barn Mahal?
.

.
Round after round.
.

.
Day after day.
.

.
Do I chortle every time it happens? Yes.
But come on… he skunks me at pool. He murders me at darts. I don’t think I’ve ever beaten him at Monopoly, Risk or chess. But when it comes to contests of trivia or anything word related?
I rule.
.

.
And yes, I take perverse pleasure in the victories.
