Let’s play.

.

Continuing with my cat theme..

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten steals my ponytail holders on a regular basis. If I take one off and place it on a table?

It’s gone.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten steals the bookmark right out of my book. It has ribbon on the end and if I lay the book down?

It’s gone.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten loves bacon and has been known to swipe sandwiches off my plate. If it’s within reach?

It’s gone.

What does your cat burglar steal?

And if you aren’t lucky enough to be owned by a feline… what does your dog, bird, iguana or hamster burglar steal?

.

Let’s play.

.

Because it’s Friday and that’s what we do here.

.

.

My roommate put a dead (headless 🤢) mouse in my shoe.

My roommate comes into the bathroom and watches me pee.

.

.

My roommate hides under the bed and attacks my ankles as I walk by.

My roommate likes belly rubs when he’s high on catnip.

.

.

How about you…

What does your roommate do?

(If you’re not lucky enough to share your space with a feline, feel free to substitute dog, hamster, bird, lizard etc)

.

Let’s play.

.

Try.

You might even enjoy it.

.

.

I don’t mean buying a big waterfront house with hot and cold running gardeners or a snazzy little Lamborghini for running errands…. those go without saying.

I mean something that’s insignificant to others but seems like pure bliss to you.

I’ll go first.

I want…

A personal hair stylist at my beck and call to keep my big ‘80’s hair looking perfect all day, everyday!

.

.

She/he doesn’t have to follow me around with a brush and a can of hair spray all day, but my hair is labor intensive and not having to worry about styling it would be a real treat.

How about you…

What rich person luxury would you give yourself?

.

Let’s play.

.

You’ll have to think for a moment, but have faith…

I think you can do it.

.

.

I can think of quite a few I happily lived without back in the day but can’t imagine surviving the loss of now….

Power windows in cars. Did we ever roll them down manually? My mind boggles at the physical effort.

Microwaves. I don’t cook with ours but reheating leftovers quickly is one of life’s simple pleasures.

DVRs. The pleasure of watching what I want when I want cannot be beat.

But if I’m honest the number one modern convenience I can’t do without is my iPhone. It holds my 23,710 photos and keeps me in touch with long lost friends. It’s my dictionary, my calculator, my encyclopedia, and my address book. It’s a source of video entertainment, games, and shopping. I call, I text, I email. I bank, I navigate, and check the local weather. Most importantly? I blog with you lot.

Sadly, I’m not exaggerating when I say I’d be lost without it.

.

.

So how about you…

What mod con will they pry from your cold dead hands?

.

Let’s play.

.

You know the drill.

.

.

My predictive text is always giving me weird suggestions when I don’t want them. Let’s see what it has to say when I do…

.

I don’t, but okay.

.

Do I?

I have a lot of it, but I’m going to say no.. I probably don’t need more pictures of it.

.

.

Third time’s a charm.

I’ll go with that.

🍸

What does your predictive text think you really need?

.

Let’s play.

.

You may have to think for a minute, but it won’t hurt. I promise.

.

.

Soooo many to choose from, but I’m going with the scene that chokes me up no matter how many times I see it.

.

.

Casablanca.

The part where the Nazis start singing the German anthem and Paul Henreid instructs the band to play La Marseillaise. The French patriots stand, sing… and drown out the Germans. A simple, poignant moment where good triumphs evil.

It’s classic.

.

.

If you’re young… and you’ve never seen Casablanca? Please do so immediately. It’s the perfect movie.

Drama, romance, humor, war.

Love, loss and sacrifice. I don’t care how many times I watch it… it never disappoints.

Now you.

What’s your favorite old Hollywood movie scene?
