Almost Wordless Wednesday

First day of school.

The devastation I cause.

I didn't do that!

Down looks pretty far away.

Oops I Ate It

The fabulous crew over at Team Tabby gave me this award.


Gee, I wonder what made them think of me? You think it was my chops licking photo from last week?

The rules for this award are:

"When accepting this award you must blog about the food you have stolen when your humans weren't watching. If you have never stolen any food, you must be a very good pup or kitty. You can accept this yummy tray of cookies as your reward!!! Next add the logo of this award to your blog (optional), then nominate at least 5 other furry blogs and let them know by leaving them a message on their blogs."

Okay, so what have I eaten? Better to ask what HAVEN'T I eaten. Ha ha ha.

I gotta think about who to nominate. This is very important, you know. And I can't do it on an empty stomach.

Actually...

Actually, yesterday was warm and sunny. So warm and sunny, in fact, that it was hot. But not as humid as it was before Danny.


Lucky loves laying in the sun. I stopped as soon as mom got the camera. What can I say, I have a reputation to maintain.

Easy Like Sunday

Thanks to Danny, it's cold and rainy.

A really good day for snuggling, don't you think?

Kitchen Cabinets, Repeat

There were a few comments about mom's kitchen cabinets. Mom originally posted this two years ago, but for those of you who are new, here is the story of the cabinets. At one time mom told Auntie that she wanted the kitchen to feel like it was under water. She was actually thinking of painting fish and underwater plants on the walls, but then she bought these dishes.


Mom really, really likes these dishes.

Auntie held one up and said, underwater? Flowers? What do you think? And mom went Cool!


And so, the kitchen was born. Now, this was before my time, but I've heard that when mom said she wanted to paint flowers on the cabinets dad said "Okay."


This is above the sink.


This is on the other side of the window and sink.


This is over the stove.


Here are the bottom cabinets.


Mom even painted the dishwasher, until she got a new one.


See the new, fancy dishwasher that mom doesn't want to paint, and the new floor.


This is the backside of the very first picture. It is facing the breakfast nook.

You can see the old floor and I am sure you can all understand why mom changed it.

So that's the story with the cabinets. Have a great day.

PlusOne Makes Dinner

PlusOne made dinner for everyone last night. He set the table, color coordinating all the plates and bowls (memere has fiesta ware). He set out the cheese and crackers that pepere COULDN'T touch until mom (the birthday girl) arrived.

Memere said he was very decisive about what could and could not go into any dish. He made the salad, with fresh mushrooms because mom likes them, and he didn't let memere put onions in the American Chop Suey because they don't agree with dad.

There wasn't much left of the American Chop Suey.

He made an apple pie, he really wanted strawberries and chocolate dipping sauce, but memere had to remind him that he was on a budget. There wasn't much left. PlusOne magnanimously decided to give memere the leftover pie because.....


he had made another with a crumble top. Which came home with mom and dad. Mr. Karate was psyched about that. Memere thinks it would be funny if PlusOne were to turn into a chef. Mom says she can see them introducing him on Top Chef as the Karate Kicking Chef. Using his hands instead of knives. lol

Class Is Now In Session - Lesson Three

Okay class, we've jumped up on chairs, and we've stretched. Now we put them together. We jump up on a chair, and stretch over to the table. Once you are on the table, make as big a mess as you can (as evidenced by all the items on the floor).


Or, you can jump up on a chair, and then jump up on the counter. Make sure there is something worthwhile on the counter though. In this instance there was leftover spaghetti sauce with meatballs and spare ribs. Yum!


DO avoid the gratuitous YUM look. This does nothing to help your cause when you are discovered on the counter. Try and look innocent. It personally doesn't work for me (mom knows better) but you can try.

Next week: child proof safety locks and toilet paper!
