Perhaps biggest news is our (Tina, Lisa and I) newly established
Sisters Day Out. We may have had separate childhoods...but we are going to grow old together!
At 58, 54 and 52, I am the eldest...so I have a head-start on that...lol!
Enjoyed yesterday's
FIRST EVER Sisters Day Out.
Almost Home Brunch...and catch up/chat. Playing with Sofi and Shelby. We are all Cat People. Amazing how similar our tastes, likes & dislikes and interests/hobbies really are.
We already have next month's
Shopping Trip ( ...after realizing we have NEVER been shopping...or cooked together...ever...) Grocery shopping and bringing back Chinese Brunch...then preparing pumpkin pies together...and some Honey Mead with our chat :)
Sofi and Shelby are making their peace with one another. My living room seems to have become the
DMZ at this time.
John, who was over Wednesday, and brought Chinese
(thank you very much)..taught her a new bad habit.
(thank you not so much)
And now she is absolutely obsessed with shoe laces!
She has grown quite a lot...but still spends nights and heavy traffic hours crated
"It's a GATED COMMUNITY...not a crate." ~Sofi
"It's a damned box with bars on the front, you tiny brainless twit." ~Shelby
to escape being trod upon or rolled over.
"You know you are NEVER EVER EVER sleeping with us...right?" ~Shelby
So cute.
You can call her name anywhere in the house now and she comes
"boinging" as fast as she can.
Just love the bunny hops!
When she and Shel get the rips at the same time through the house...
well, who NEEDS TV ?
Also learned this week she will climb up you and rip your face off for bacon.
Who wouldn't?
After learning this I am
exploiting it as positive reinforcement for her training. It works amazingly well!
She will be operating the Keurig in no time...lol!
My grand-daughter, Emma, turned 12 yesterday :)
From this (when we first met)
to this
They just grow up so fast!
Her birthday breakfast...by request...purple biscuits and gravy.
No new book or movie this week...although Nicole and I may have to see the new Aquaman release.
"...yeah..you had me at Jason Momoa...hon..."
Game of Throne Followers may recognize him as Khal Drogo.
Kind of the ultimate
"bad boy".
Most of this week's news taken up by politics...though.
The Loss of GOP Arizona
Senator John McCain to his brain tumor. Although we rarely held the same political position he was a decent, patriotic man who worked hard to put Country (and the well-being of her citizens) ahead of politics...and he will be missed. He was probably one of the last of the Old Guard Republicans...before the party lost its damned mind.
We also lost playwrite Neil Simon.
In Trumpworld...he is finally realizing the whole Ponzi scheme is collapsing and is tweeting wildly...incoherently...
why aren't DEMS being investigated...what about Hillary...what about Obama...it is not fair...rigged witch hunt...et al.
It is pathetic.
At least Nixon knew when it was over...and resigned.
I would like to think Trump will, as well, but realistically he will probably have to be dragged out kicking and screaming.
Preferably in handcuffs.
Just Saying.
And for those at home playing
Trump Bingo...we are getting down to the wire now.
Since
Sarah is reported to be leaving us at the end of the year (U-1), a BINGO may be in our near future.
Of course, if not the best news
- then certainly the funniest- came, inadvertently, in the form of this guy
David Pecker, publisher of The National Enquirer
(...and seriously...didn't we always know in our hearts that the publisher's name had to be Richard or Pecker??)
Pecker was offered
IMMUNITY by Mueller for his treasure trove of killed Trump stories.
IKR?
(Holy Shit)
But the real gem seem to be the immediate sophomoric comic relief his name offered spawning memes like the following
Face it. We
ALL needed this moment of lightness.
Yeah...he may be a Pecker...but he is Our Pecker, now.
We are going to need a LOT more popcorn!
Back to Virtual Western Australia tomorrow...
