Brain Puke XX

Look out blogger friends, I'mma gonna hurl!

Let's get some things off the jahoobies, shall we?  Tis Festivus; time for the Airing of Grievances!  Yes, I stole that from Ravager619!

First up, a holiday delight from Mistress Maddie.  She is a sweet treat unto herself, but:


Wonder what's in here?














The home baked sand tart cookies are almost gone; they are so fucking addictive!  Gurl sure can cook!  The stollen will be served on xmess morning with (unspiked) eggnog & coffee.  Maddie gurl, you are too too much!  Love ya!

Next up, from spouse's brother & SIL:



This is as far as my decorating got:


Better than nothing.  And look, no white stuff outside! 

The girls are taking everything in stride:


Miss Gigi loves her (homo depot) cardboard box.  See what I did there, Dave?


Miss Nyla loves her daddy's new chair.


Miss Oreo loves to keep watch over her humans.

Now onto some knitting:


This blankie is for my boss and his wife; a new baby boy is coming in March.



This xmess tree skirt is for Michael.  I offered to knit him a tree skirt for xmess 2019.  This item has 18 triangles; 3 are finished.  Oy!

January 3 can't come soon enough.  Neither can more Mueller subpoenas/indictments!

(Drama) Queen Quentin needs a kick in the ass; so many first world problems he has (bird poop on his car, the mail carrier didn't say "good morning" to him, etc.).  I'd like to see him trade places with a refugee child in a cage in Texas.

To the bitchcunts standing in the aisles of the grocery store yadda yadda-ing this morning, GTFO my way!  Go yadda yadda somewhere else; I got other things to do than listen to you!

Bobdammit, ENOUGH with the fucking cellphones!  Pay the fuck attention to your driving, your shopping, your work, etc.  To whomever invented that POS, FUCK YOU!

Wonder what 2019's gonna bring?

I Stole A Little Xmess Meme...

...from Debra.  And it ain't gonna be pretty.




What do you hate most about Xmess? 

EVERYTHING! 

What is your least favorite piece of Xmess music? 

EVERYTHING, except for the "A Charlie Brown Xmess" soundtrack. 

What traditional Xmess food OTHER THAN FRUITCAKE (too easy) is being sent down the garbage disposal? 

Believe it or don't, I like fruitcake.  One or two small slices and I satiate my desire until next year.  Ham, turkey, green beans & fried onions, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, you name it, OUT IT GOES!  I prefer seafood for "holiday" meals; salmon, shrimp, crabs and some cock-a-tails. 

Which animated TV Xmess special leaves you wanting to rip the wallpaper off the walls? 

A tie: "Frosty the Snowman" and "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town". 

What was your least favorite Xmess gift ever? 

ANYTHING from my sperm & egg donors; those bastards would always buy the exact opposite of what I wanted. 

For whom on your Xmess list is the hardest to shop? 

Since my gift buying is only for spouse and cats, hella easy! 

How would you spend this time of year if you weren't caught up in all the "holiday" madness? 

First, it's a FAKE holiday since there ain't no Jeebus.

Second, I rejoice that the passing winter solstice means the days are getting longer again!

Third, it's easy NOT to get batshit fucking insane when the end of the year comes along.  YOU control your destiny!  YOU control your reactions to outside events!

My job keeps me busy, as does my knitting and reading.  I need nothing more...except for another cock-a-tail or two!

HoHoHo!

Happy Holiday Happening!


Happy Holly Daze to one and all!

See if you can find "beavis and butthead", the 2 phillies ornaments, the yellow submarine, and "our first xmess" ornament!  No, there is no "waldo".

To my commenters - fun fax 4 u:

My tree is 38 years old, a gift from my sister when I moved into my first apartment in 1977 (I had been living with the sperm and egg donors until then).

The lights and the treetop star are new this year.

The tree skirt was crocheted in the late 80s by a now-deceased former co-worker.

The tree is under four feet (a nod to spo) and sits on my sunporch so as not to tempt my curious kitties.

Scenes From A Beachy Weekend

The spouse and I took a long weekend "downdashore" to commemorate his birthday and our anniversary.

Go to Mark's blog to see pix of our Friday night escapade!  A fun evening with my Delaware boyfriends!

Saturday was sunny and mild.  So we went out to shop, explore, eat, drink.

This is where we stayed (heh heh heh, "anus")

Roses still blooming

Pretties!

Rehoboth bandstand - used for outdoor concerts

A dolphin statue dressed in a beach t-shirt

The Atlantic Ocean (waves to Raybeard on the other side of the pond)


Cross the dune to the ocean 
 

 Spouse on the boardwalk
 
Crowd gathered to hear a Philly string band playing (the plumed hats are the band; I could not get up close and personal)





Halloween scenes around town for Spo and Debra

One of the local shops (yes, I MUST feed my addiction!)

Say Goodbye (and good riddance) To 2014!

Kick 2014's ass out the door, and say hello to 2015!  Happy New Year to all my boyfriends near and far!

So what have I been doing this last week (besides working)?

Well, let's review with some pix, shall we?


These are the electric candles I have in my windows; they face the street.  I have a pair; they used to belong to my in-laws, they are over 50 years old, and they were made right here in phillytown!


The stockings were hung (heh heh heh) by the chimney with care...


...and one for the pussies who all reside there.  My SIL made these stockings 20 years ago; Sydney was our first cat and he passed in 2002.  "A house without a cat is not a home" - tru fax dat!


Since Mistress Maddie is a fan of front doors, here is mine. 


I got this DVD collection for xmess; fascinating history! 


And now for something completely different... 


The girls gave me this calendar; it hangs on my office wall. 


Santa Cat brought the girls some new toys!


Miss Gigi says HAPPY


Miss Nyla says MEW


Miss Oreo says YEAR!
