Thankful

Me: "You have beautiful blue eyes."

Little guy: "Uh-huh."

Me: "You should say, 'Thank you.'"

Little guy: "Why, you didn't give them to me."

Me: "It was a compliment, that's why you should say, 'Thank you.'"

Little guy: "Oh, I thought we were talking about genetics."

A Moment of Concern

I trimmed our big dog, Hazel, today. Actually I started yesterday. With that much skin acreage, it's a two day job.

Our kitten, Tommy, ran in after I'd finished the haircut, took one look at Hazel, his eyes filled with concern for just a moment, and then he ran to her and rubbed back and forth along her legs.

No way a haircut can come between best friends.

Brushed Out

You learn something new every day, right? Well, at least I do.

Here's what I learned just lately. I was at a facial party thing with a bunch of lovely ladies. It was my turn to have a facial and the woman who worked with me cleaned my face, applied lotion or some such substance, and then she took out a teeny tiny tool that looked like a miniature baby bottle scrubber, and...what?!?!...brushed my eyebrows.

Yes, she brushed my eyebrows. Now maybe you've heard of this odd ritual, but this was a new one by me. I mean I never even knew there was a need for such a thing. My eyebrows weren't unruly. They weren't even tangled. I had no idea that there was a problem.

But she sent me home with not one, but two, eyebrow brushes. Clearly she detected a need. I hope you'll take a moment to notice my lovely coiffed eyebrows.

The Other Side

My right wrist has been hurting for a while so I figured I'd make lemons out of lemonade and take on a personal challenge. I decided to do a series of paintings with my left hand. I've done it before, though not for this reason. This is one of my prior lefty pieces and here is another. Interesting to me how sweet and childlike those pieces are...and how this one is so not.

I wonder what opposite hand creations reveal about us over time.


Look for more lefty pieces this week.

Cat Woman

Sometimes I'm a nag. Well, a lot of the time if you ask my family. Tonight my nagginess was aimed at my little guy.


Me: "I need you to go close the chickens in the coop and take care of both of our neighbors' cats."

Little guy: "In a minute."

Me: "Bawk, bawk, bawk, meow, meow."

Little guy: "You're annoying."

Me: "BAWK, BAWK, BAWK, MEOW, MEOW!"


And he went out to close the chickens in their coop.


Me: "Meow, meow."

Little guy: "Stop it, mom."

Me: "MEOW, MEOW!"

Little guy: "You are really annoying."


Annoying, perhaps. Effective, absolutely.

Getting his Sardine On

Our little kitten is so chill.  He'll let the boys wear him as a hat.  He'll let them wear him as a scarf.  He'll even let us snuggle him for hours minutes on end. 

But if you pull out a tin of sardines, all chill bets are off.  Chill kitty turns into wacked out obsessive kitty.  MUST GET FISH!!!!

No way we're letting this little guy around catnip.

Who's That Girl?

There are so many artists out there that can draw people and draw them well.  They can even draw specific people.  Me?  So not one of my super powers.  But I still like to draw people (in general), regardless of my skill level.

Anyway, I'm a bit of a kid with my art work and I often take it to my husband and show him.  "Lookie, lookie what I drew!!"

He's always super awesome and generous with his compliments.  And he was with this one, too.  Only he was quite sure it was a portrait of someone we know.

So, help me, my friends.  Solve this mystery.  Who's that girl?
