Welcome back!

Yup, spring is truly on its way. Of course it could be said that spring is always on the way, I just did not specify which year it is coming.

There are people already thinking about summer and the best tanning lotions. There are people thinking about the next up and coming winter and what will be needed. I guess the only difference is that each person will be thinking about their own plans each time. Some think way ahead, others only think about the next day.

I haven’t figured out which one I am yet. After all I am only….. years old.

Nope - ain’t tellin’.

Do you have a pet? If you do, then you know that they have opinions and are not afraid to let you know that they have them.

The other day, as I was occupied on the ‘throne’, I was told the opinion of one of our cats. She came in, visited me, sniffed, left, stopped by the litter box, sniffed, shook her tail, looked at me and then left.

The feeling I got is that the litter pan smelled better than me !?! Considering some of the odors that have come from that box, I am surprised that I was being criticized.

Do you know what that word means?

When the people of this country talk about the CIA, they are using an acronym. That is something that we see everyday. NSA, FBI, USA, CBS, NBC, ABC, BCBS of NC are all examples of acronyms. We use them every day and don’t seem to think about them.

The last one mentioned is for a health plan company. As for the others, one is a television show, some are for broadcast stations, some are for government agencies.

Of course the one that is easiest for me to remember is USA! I am proud to be an American. Our country ain’t perfect, but I love it anyway.

I woke up from a delicious dream.

I dreamed of a business called ‘Chocolate Cupcake’. The business had brown letters that looked as if they had pink icing on top of them. Inside the business there were , of course, chocolate cupcakes, other cupcakes, cookies, candies, and of course coffee.

Of course, I also woke up hungry. Now, I get to figure out what to eat for lunch….

It is that time again. It is after the holidays. How much did you eat? What about all of the goodies?

It is now time that people start to think about all of the best fat burner reviews. They look up the different types of things available.

Wouldn’t it have been easier in the beginning to use moderation when eating? I DIDN’T. So what am I saying……..

I also need to lose weight.

This is something I had mentioned in an earlier article.

I will explain, now. At one time, my husband and I had lived in Arkansas in Batesville. We lived in an area that had a lot of trees, on a hill. One day, we looked outside and saw our solid black cat - Junior - playing with a critter. That critter was a skunk. They were bouncing up and down in the grass, once in a while rolling around with each other. Sometimes they would stop, bump noses, and then walk off together. Amazing

Once Junior wanted into the house, my husband opened the door to let him in. The cat stood across the threshold, meowed, and his buddy waddled into the center of the living room. I immediately froze and started to think about how much tomato juice would be needed to get rid of the stink. The skunk squeaked a couple of times, turned around, and then waddled back out without doing anything bad. Whew that had been close. Once my husband stepped out and accidentally stepped on its tail. No spray that time either. It even let him pet it a couple of times. We thought that it was someone’s pet. WRONG

A week later, we heard shouting, and then the cops showed up. Our neighbor caught someone trying to remove parts from his truck. There was the heavy scent of skunk in the air. The cops figured out that the skunk sprayed someone there at the truck and followed the scent through the neighborhood to the door of another neighbor. Her son was in the shower trying to get rid of the skunk scent. He was the thief. He went to jail, the skunk became a celebrity and a very well fed critter in our neighborhood. People would put out little bowls of fruit and nuts for the skunk, and later for his family.

We have since moved away from there and live in Texas. The people in that old neighborhood still put out food for the skunk family, they no longer have prowlers or trouble with thieves. They have a family of neighborhood watch skunks who have adopted everyone there as part of their litter.

I guess that the weather man has begun a new song.

Do you remember the song ‘Let It Snow’? It is apparently doing just that across many southern states that are not used to the big freeze that can come with wet, squishy, melting, frozen stuff. I have a feeling the word overshoes has gotten new meaning.

Here is Texas, snow is a rare critter. We have sometimes had ice, but no big snows. Where I grew up in St. Louis, Mo., we even had special snow routes laid out and mapped so that people going to work knew which roads could be traveled. Sometimes I do miss snow, but I do not miss going to school in the snow.

I guess that my blog name kind of gives that away.

I do NOT need weight gain supplements, I have a need to lose weight. Of course that is kind of hard to do when I LOVE hamburgers, lots of cheese, and other items.

In fact, I love cheese with a side of….cheese. Cheese, melted, toasted, baked, macaroni’d (is that a word?), with bread, without bread.

My sister used to say that i should have been born with giant ears like a certain female mouse that I won’t mention.

I LOVE CHEESE.

Now that I think about it, the most glittery holiday of them all is getting closer.

The holiday that I love the most is Christmas. I get to see lots of outdoor Christmas decorations, lights everywhere, holiday music.

There are times that I feel like a kid when this holiday comes. I feel very thankful for what was given to everyone on that particular day. I also enjoy all of the decorations that go along with it. My husband used to wonder each year just what I would do to decorate our home for Christmas. We still have pictures. Our outdoor front porch still has lights on it that I hook up each year, but since we have cats in the house, I can’t put stuff up since the cats would get into it.

In fact, one cat we had tried to climb the artificial Christmas tree and broke a branch. Every time that he went near that tree, he would hiss. Hilarious !

I wanted to have a regular tree that could be planted afterward, but my husband is allergic to those trees. I still love that holiday and its decorations.

Have you ever heard of the old saying “if looks could kill”? There are many various meanings to that phrase. Helen of Troy had looks that men used as an excuse to kill hundreds, if not thousands “The face that launched a thousand ships”. There used to be an old saying about someone having the “evil eye” that made people afraid of being killed by a look.

Well people, cats have known about dirty looks for a long time. They are experts at the ‘dirty look’. One example was what happened a little while ago. One of our cats decided she needed the litter pan. I happened to see since I was on the ‘throne’ and stuck in one place for a while. As she positioned herself, my husband passed by and passed gas. The timing was superb in that respect. Her ears went flat, her eyes went half closed, and when she got out, she gave him a DIRTY LOOK. I wonder if she was thinking that she would be blamed for what he did? (snicker)
