Keep the pet or the spouse/lover?

That was the topic on the radio the other day.

Of course, I had to chime in  my two (or 6)cents.

Keep the pets of course!! They love me not matter what! And I them. Well, most of the time.

They share my couch and recliner with me on occasions, also they let me sleep in my own bed and keep me VERY warm. They like to share my pillows with me too and snore in my ear.

For the most part, they are happy four legged roommates, which I can't say for any of previous two legged roommates. The fartherest the 4 leggers go with my stuff is the back yard. And yes granted it could be in pieces or have teeth marks on it but they have not taken it off premises as do the 2 legged kind.

One roommate moved out and took my clothes, of which were 4 sizes too big, (she wore a 2, I wore a 6)dishes, towels, sheets, blankets, etc. When I got home I felt like I had just gotten a divorce, AND she cut the water off. . .  So far no 4 leggers have done ANY of that. . Granted my clothes and shoes may not be exactly where I left them but I'm pretty sure I can find them, or at least pieces and parts of them.

My 4 leggers scream happy statements at me when I come home! They knock me down and leave slobber all over my face. They LOVE me when I come home as opposed to the Ugh, you're home. . 



They don't get upset because I didn't wash clothes, they get upset at the new washer's noises while it's washing my clothes.

If they are hungry, they follow me around til I feed them. No smack is talked. Just hungry eyes, pitiful, starving eyes. . And you know this happens so often., don't cha?

They don't care if I don't make the bed, the sprawl on it anyway and snore away. They don't care if I haven't washed the dishes, in fact, they would prefer if I didn't, just let them take care of that and they would be supremely happy.

All is so much easier to take from 4 leggers than 2 leggers.

So yes my answer was get RID of the 2 leggers and KEEP the 4 leggers!!

What would your choice be??

My morning at the beach. . .

I was all kicked back in my reclinin chair. . .

Just laid out. . .

Feet up. . .

Head back. . .

Listenin. . .

To the ocean waves comin in. . .

Waves goin out. . .

Eyes closed. . .

I could see those waves crashin in. . .

The water headin back out to sea. . .

The sounds were so relaxin. . .

Breathin deep. . .

Sighin. . .

Droppin off the the never never land. . .

THEN WHAM!!

I was interupted. . .

With the sound of jack hammers and saws. . .

It seems Lockness had decided to do a little work that day. . .

I tried and tried to keep him at bay. . .

CONCENTRATE!! LISTEN!!! HEAR THE WAVES???? LISTEN TO THE WAVES!!!!

But to no avail . . .

Yeah I heard the waves alright.  . .

The waves of jackhammers and saws!!



What is this world comin to when your own dentist refuses to let you releax and nap to the sound of ocean waves. . . 

I mean, really, what'd he give me the funny gas for if not to relax and snooooooze by???

Or lay out the chair, feet up, head back?? I mean really, wasn't that the purpose here???

Ya think  it mighta had to do with the fact he was jackhammerin and sawin in MY mouth on MY teeth. . .

No, not just one but THREE. . .

Three that were just shy of root canals to boot. . .
Normally, I don't even hear the jackhammers and saws that much but this time even the waves couldn't drown out those sounds. . . 

But he had to take those metal fillin's out and put purty white stuff in there. . .

So today, everyone I saw got to see my new teeth. . .

I would say prolly tonsils too but them suckers were taken out back when I was 10. . .

So they had to settle for just all white teeth on the bottom now. . .

And yes, they all thought I had lost more of my marbles. . .

THE GOOD PART?? I didn't feel a thing and I have a tooth now that I broke when I was a Senior in High School!!

And NOPE! No Siree, I will NOT be tellin you guys how long ago that was. Nor will I be tellin you how long it has been since I was able to chew on that side..

You'd think I was OLD then. . .

I just LOVE my dentist and his staff! They are the most awesome!

I used to get jitters just THINKIN bout headin to the dentist. Actually I would freak. I didn't go. (A small car could be bought with the money that is bein put into repairin my teeth.)

But no more do I get sick when I think dentist!

So if you live in Central Texas, I got a name for you if you need a good dentist! He's worth drivin for, let me tell you, yes siree!

Hope ya kackled a tad today!! Does a body good!!!

Bailey and Becky Drawings

These are some of the other things I have been doing instead of bloggin:

I did these last month. I forgot that I had not posted these and if I have than I apologize for puttin you through lookin at them once again.

This is my niece with her baby girl's hands and feet (with becky holding her feet between her hands). Another one of those give away gifts. It is so much fun to do these and give them away.


Hope you have kackled much since last we met!

The creative mind

I am learning that when the creative mind starts up, there is no stoppin it. I 've been in dl (deadlock) with this blog for weeks, months rather. Seems all I want to do it draw or paint. Or make baby blankets and pillows. Not school, not work, not blog.

Mic has talked me into tryin acrylics instead of oils. Oils take forever to dry BUT not as long as water soluable oils. THEY NEVER DRY. I ended up throwing 2 little canvases away because that paint had sat for 4 weeks and would still come off on your fingers and it was sticky. So all those paints went to file thirteen.

So here is what I started late last nite and finished, mind you, FINISHED today!

Winnie the Pooh and the Lullabee's

I'm so excited I want to give it to the person intended NOW. But I cannot because we are having a little baby luncheon next month and it is for that. I am also making a baby blanket with her initial on it made out of hunny bee material on a red background with yellow on the other side. THAT was the original gift only in stead of her initial it was going to be the hunny pot but i never could make up my mind. So it has changed once again.....

Would somebody tell the South. . .

that it is NOT suppose to be COLD!!!

That is for the NORTH!!

I know I'm whinin but 22 in Texas is freakin COLD!

So would someone pass this message along to Mother Nature???

I'm even too cold to kackle!! I'm shiverin instead!

Do you know . . .

Do you know what the relationship is between your two eyes?


They blink together,

they move together,

they cry together,

they see things together,

and they sleep together,

but they never see each other;

....that's what friendship is.



I got this in an email, had to pass it along! Thanks for bein' my friend!

As always, kackle your day away!! Does a body good!!

Could someone kindly direct me to the highway?

I need to play in traffic.

School has begun.

Today.

'Nuther fast paced semester.

And the new job title is has begun to get interesting. Preparing for a show in the fall, getting ready to go see customers this summer.

Oh yeah, loads of fun is about to begin.

I'm beginnin to think dodgin 70+ mph traffic would be a breeze compared to what is ahead.....

Go ahead, kackle. I brought it on myself!

Have a great week!
