We thought we were getting pizza for us. We were wrong. A warm box is just too much for a feline to resist – especially our house panther with kitchen specialization.

Kudos to the marketing department for these plants. And, in my opinion, if you haven’t watched Little Shop of Horrors, you’re missing out. Happy Friday!
Baby gates can double as “kitty jail”.๐ However, don’t worry about Rose; she can easily jump over the gate whenever she wants.
Bear was having a clingy day and climbed up on my chest while I was exercising so, I decided to snap a close-up; it wasn’t until I looked at it later that I noticed the “dent” in his fur where I had petted him. (I tracked him down to make sure that his head was really okay and it’s fine.)
In an unexpected Valentine’s twist, Kenn and I gave each other identical cards!๐ (The inside reads: Happy Valentine’s Day to my main squeeze.) I guess this is what happens when you’ve been together for 42 years. (We started dating at 18.)
Commercials frequently make me say “What the fox?” – especially perfume/cologne commercials. However, there are those that make me happy and this is one of them.
Here’s hoping that one of the things that makes me happy can also bring a little happy to you! (Side note: the official video for Call Me Maybe is also good for a few laughs.)
We have had several lady beetles and stink bugs get into our house over the past couple of months – much to the cats delight. (Note: I have always called them lady bugs but now that I work for an entomologist, I have learned that the correct term is lady beetle.๐) Recently, the cats kept staring at the kitchen cabinet; I assumed there was a bug but I couldn’t find anything. Finally, Kenn got involved with the search. It turned out that there was no bug – there was a bat in cabinet. This is the second time we’ve had a bat in the cabinet. In both instances, the bat has been removed and released outside. Now to figure out how they keep getting in!
Several years ago I became the proud owner of a set of cat butt magnets which still decorate my fridge until this day. Thanks to a random Amazon recommendation, I found the superhero cat butt magnets shown above in my Christmas stocking. I think they are hysterical; the Hulk and Iron Man are my particular favorites. I also have no idea why Batman is the sole DC representative amongst this collection of Marvel superheroes.๐คทโโ๏ธOur fridge is quite… eclectic.
My part-time job is at an agricultural center. Our work trucks can really take a beating because when we say we’re “in the field”, it’s a literal field (or grove, or orchard). I had to laugh earlier this week when I noticed at least two of the trucks have grass growing in their grills.๐ To paraphrase Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park, “life found a way”.
Marsha’s Vineyard, not to be confused with the better known Martha’s Vineyard. (What a difference one letter can make.๐) We came across this gem a few years ago on our way to Atlanta to purchase a gift from Ikea. ($200+ shipping? No thanks!) There are a couple of locations on the interstate where traffic always backs up so we decided to take back roads for a bit and there it was… Marsha’s Vineyard. I found this absolutely hysterical – complete with tears of laughter running down my cheeks. Kenn not so much; I think he thought the Christmas stress was getting to me. Oh well, hopefully someone else out there will find this amusing too. Happy Friday!
