Willy Nilly Friday~Blooms, not b**bs, brainy boxer, losing time and looking for the impossible.

Joining Tanya and frieds for the willy nilly-ness of life. 


1)

The Coach and I watched the movie Million Dollar arm this week. We both gave it 2 thumbs up...such an inspiring and NICE movie based on a true story. And hey, it's a Disney production, so I didn't have to close my eyes or ears; no bloodshed and no b**bs!!!

2)

Speaking of b**bs, remember my gorgeous blooming lanai orchid? Well, that baby was soon top heavy and it busted....so now we get to enjoy it's bold purpleness on the kitchen table. Win Win.

3) 

Ozzie fell asleep while studying for his psych finals. 

Bless his little rescued heart....on top of all the health issues he's faced over the years, now he has a cherry eye. The vet said to let it be; that it really doesn't hurt him. But good lord, enough already. 

4)
Once again, I've misplaced a week. AN ENTIRE WEEK! Every year Thanksgiving comes a week earlier than I'm expecting. Darn you....you sneaky sneaky holiday!

5)
Speaking of Thanksgiving, I'm on the hunt for an organic, free range/pastured, non GMO fed turkey who's spent his life doing yoga and chanting good thoughts for the planet.

Should be easy.

The Sinking {ship} Chair

I posted a few years ago about Coach's beloved chair...and what a mess it was. 

The chair was used and abused. 

Mostly because it was shared by this little nugget and her padre'. 

 And on occasion...the felines like to use it too.

The front, the side, the back....it was all fair game for Cocoa. 

I knew the chair was on it's last legs...but I was bound and determined to make it last as long as Cocoa. 

Sadly, my determination has failed. It's become a sinking ship....and apparently, the Captain was going down with it. 

She's trying to ignore the fact that......

the ship is sinking and she is deathly afraid of the water. 

We found a new chair on Sunday and thought about it for a few days....I had to let it marinate in my brain and today I handing over the moola for it. 

You'd think Cocoa would volunteer to chip in some of her cookie fund. You'd think. 

The college girl, phamily and my phair

"You never blog about me anymore"

Lindsay stated this while she was home for a night last week. 

Me: Well, I don't see you enough to gather blogging material.

Linds: Last weekend we were together for Sorority Family weekend.

Me: I'd already forgotten about that. 

Linds: Pffft. 

Soooooo,  a few weekends ago we went to Lindsay's campus for Phi Mu family weekend. 

 As we were walking towards the family picnic I declared: 

We need to do a super selfie.

I don't even know what that means, but I think we pulled it off. 

She is absolutely in love with her sorority and her extended family. 

I'm starting to not understand her lately though; she said: We need to do a photo in front of the quat.

Me: Is the quad that big pink thing?

It's a quat Mom; short for quatrefoil. 

If you ad PH to anything it makes it more fun. At least thats the gist I'm getting from Linds. 

I was conveying to some friends the other day how much Linds loves school and sorority life...she was born to be in a sorority.

They asked me if I was in a sorority in college.

Me: I didn't go to college, I went to beauty school....that's why my hair always looks good.

And then I proceeded to laugh so hard at my joke; knowing full well it was 100% true. 

The next day I was thinking about my beauty school time and decided in my next life I'm going to
a real college....but it won't be as phfun since my hair will be a disaster. 

Willy Nilly Friday-GTS and garden swooning.

Joining Tanya and friends for 5 willy nilly thoughts, pics or whatevs.


1)

The Coach has a new catch phrase when someone has a question he can't answer.

GTS

He says this a lot. He says it to the kids and to Suz. Pretty soon, you'll also be saying this.

What is GTS? You most likely already say it, but perhaps in a gentler way.

Google That Sh*t.

2)

Something I GTS'd this week was How To Take your own family portraits With you in them.

You might recall that I recently left my job as a personal assistant with a professional photographer. No? No biggie. Well, I want to have family portraits done again this year, but I'm gonna do them myself. I purchased a remote timer and I'll utilize my tripod. All I have to do now is get the other three here and cleaned up at the same time.

It would be great if I could get the dogs in there too….perhaps some doggie meds will be in order; 

I might even share them with the dogs.

3)

This might annoy several people who live in the cold tundra, but my veggie garden is doing wondrous things.  I've scaled it down since the fall season is so short, but we'll soon have tomatoes, cukes, lettuce and eggplants.

Boo-ya!

4)

Can you believe how fast time is passing? I just put away my Easter decor and now I'm thinking of our Christmas tree. It's not right I tell ya!

5)

Look whats a'blooming on the lanai.

Swoon!

Wishing you all a fabulous weekend doing whatever it is you do….and if you need some assistance, just GTS.

XOXO
