Falalalala...The Turkey's Gone!
Unfortunately, so are the pies.
I've just scratched the surface with my Primitives For Christmas, so far.
Yards of gingham and muslin...greenery...tiny white lights...grapevine wreaths...and learning about Cinnamon Dough (kind of like salt dough) for rustic hearts.
PSA: Queen Anne's Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries are BACK!!!!
I must admit, through December, they are my Personal Reward System.
Finish the Christmas Cards.
"Good Job...have a Cherry!"
Smile and not KILL that rude woman in the store with her Spawn of Satan behind you in line.
"Great Control...looks like SOMEONE needs a Cherry!"
Shelby-Cat has been a "hoot" this week. No, she isn't interested in climbing the tree, thankfully. She decided it was much better to gnaw on...she wants to eat it.
She did managed to pull a tip off...now they number 999, and she seems to be fairly happy with herself.
Her favourite spot seems to be the sofa arm by the tree. She likes to lay there and gaze at the lights. She loves the tree!
The Shelf Elf....er...not so much.
"Holy Shit...is that the Cops???"
Anyway the Elf On A Shelf Threat appears neutralized.
For now...
The Bright Orange Threat in Washington seem to be waning, too.
He is just too stupid to realize it.
Face it...the past couple of weeks have been like a ride on the Bipolar Coaster.
First there was Manafort Monday!!!
Followed later by Flynn Friday!!!
IKR???
(and at this point...I am suspecting that Mueller may have a wicked sense of humour beneath that Bloodhound Exterior...and is Trump Tuesday REALLY too much to hope for????)
We all had out our Indictment Bingo Cards
and singing Indictment Carols
"Just hear those handcuffs ring-a-ling, jing-ting-ting-a-ling too...
C'mon it's lovely weather for a Mueller indictment or two.
Outside the treason's falling and Trump is calling RU....
C'mon it's lovely weather for a Mueller indictment or two!!!"
But did THAT stop the Grinch?
No.
Nearly 500 pages...with hand written in the margins revisions...given to Senate Members 2 Hours before the vote was taken.
And the PORK that was written over every square inch and the promises made to hold-outs.
OMFG!
"Sure...hell, we will even throw in a blow-job,Senator"
In the end Bob Corker (TN) would be the only GOP member who did not cave and vote YES to this abomination.
Well, BOB and every last Democrat.
Jesus Wept.
That is how...late Friday Night...Corporate America and Multi-Millionaires and Billionaires got Christmas Early
Financed by our children,our sick, our elderly, our poor.
For a moment even the Flynn Plea Bargain was tossed into the shadows...and collectively we were stunned.
Shocked.
Funny thing...shock and stunned though...it quickly gives way to MAD AS HELL.
The Resistance falling back to breathe...then get focused.
Really...Really Focused.
From getting people registered to getting out the VOTE...starting with the upcoming Special Election in Alabama. People in Alabama making sure that voters get to the polls. Those of us not in Alabama providing support financially to the Democratic Opposition: Doug Jones...phone banking...calling Congress...post-carding...networking...FB and Twitter.
Resolving to do the same with every opposing candidate...not only through 2018 but through 2020.
Very systematically.
Channelling the anger into a weapon.
The sad part about the passage of this particular bill is that not only does it hand the very wealthiest a huge sum of money...but it works by preying on some of the poorest,ignorant, deliberately misinformed people out there.
"Earlene, down tah the trailer park" isn't going to care much if the stock market goes through the roof.
Especially when they have shut off the 'lectricity and there is no money for food.
Just saying.
But there was a bright shining moment today when Twitler (Trump) had the RIGHT to remain silent, but as Ron White would say-
He did not have The Ability.
Only hours after Flynn plead guilty to lying to the FBI...Trump tweeted
...wait for it...
THAT HE HAD KNOWN FROM THE BEGINNING THAT FLYNN HAD LIED.
~seriously!
I mean you can't even make shit like this up..okay???
"So...Mr. President...you KNEW this ALL ALONG...but you didn't say ANYTHING to the DOJ about it???"
LMAO!
We'll see how THAT plays out for him.
Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is
a Resignation or Indictment.
Either would be fine.
Love,
America
While Trump and Company were busy taking US for a ride...Lennon was busy with a ride of his own.
So now both he and Chris have brand new Toyota Corollas (2017) and have been comparing Odometers...lol!
Chris has finally broken 1000 miles with his.
Lennon's had 40 miles on it when he drove it off the lot.
Chris is a red LS.
Lennon's is a blue SE.
Red ~vs~ Blue: The Home Game.
They are both pretty thrilled! I am thrilled for them!
This Week's movie was
With Idris Elba and Kate Winslet. A Survival Turns Romance Story. Nice to see Winslet in something again...it has been awhile. And Idris is...well...Idris!
The movie requires a lot of suspension of disbelief...because...in reality (given their characters) they would have both freaking died out there...but once you get past that...it was a fairly entertaining film.
Beautiful cinematography.
Tastefully shot love scene.
Nice feel good Hollywood Ending.
Worth a watch!
Charles Martin wrote the Novel. I'm going to give it a read soon!
More Anon...
Shit...it IS the cops...quick help me with this body!
