It Is Way Too Early

I feel like it’s way too early for this, but it’s the only day we had both kids here so we had to do it.

Favorite Animals

What are your favorite animals
Daily writing prompt

If you have read even a couple of days worth of posts on this oversharing blog then you know I am a cat person. I post pictures of our two cats constantly. For example:

I love cats. It’s true. All cats, even cats that would eat my head for a snack.

Yes, cats are my favorite animal.

The runner up? Deer, probably.

Mostly though my favorites are always going to be our pets. Lily, Robin, and the late great Miss Patches.

I’m Not Ready

I am not ready for xmas to take over all aspects of our daily American lives. Every year I go through this. It takes me until maybe December 21st or 22nd before I start feeling the holiday spirit. Up until then it’s bordering on loathing. We as a culture over do it so much that it’s painful to me. I just want a normal December and then a few days of holiday excitement and then New Years and then it’s over again. Why is that too much to ask? Why did I have to hear awful, awful xmas music blaring at me at the grocery store on Sunday November 26th at 8:10am? It’s just gross.

I would like to go back to Disney World though, so here’s some xmas decorations from Magic Kingdom. Granted these were taken a couple of weeks after New Years last January which is equally as gross as xmas music in November but… whatever.

Freaking Out

This is one freaked out cat. There are extra people here, the furniture has been moved around, and there is a big giant tree in the living room. What the hell is going on here???

Now That Thanksgiving is Over

Ho Ho Ho and shit.

(Sort of Almost) Daily Haiku for You #91

We had our family Thanksgiving celebration today. I cut the hell out of my finger while peeling potatoes. Here, have a haiku.

Gobble Gobble Dudes!
Thanksgiving dinner part deux.
Leftovers for days.

Thanksgiving Part Deux

Everything was delicious. Excellent, excellent.

Summarize Your Morning in Pictures

Allow me to use two photos to describe my morning……..

Yup, that about sums it up.

Moves

There will be a xmas tree today so things needed to move around. The cats are freaked.

Beach or Mountains

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?
Daily writing prompt

Do I prefer the mountains or the beach… That’s kind of like asking me which of my step kids I prefer. The honest answer is both. I couldn’t pick just one or the other. One of the great things about living in New England is that we have the Atlantic Ocean right nearby, and up to the North we have all sorts of mountains. All of it is within a couple of hours drive.

I love them both. I love to go visit the ocean and the lakes scattered throughout the region. I love to go to the mountains. I am not the kind of guy who likes to lay out on the beach or go swimming, and I am not the kind of guy who likes to climb the mountains. I like to bring my camera and shoot the views, and I like to spend time with my family surrounded by the best that nature has to offer. I just really like them both.

So given all of that I cannot chose one or the other. I just like ’em both. That will have to be good enough for the writing prompt folks.
