Now That Is One Unhappy Face

What seemed like it would be one unhappy task, turned out to be just hilarious. My poor kitties Katie and Lily have been dealing with those nasty pests that all animals gotta deal with, fleas. So to try and get rid of the lil buggers we gave them a bath. Needless to say they were not happy about it, but overall they were really well behaved. Despite the constant attempts at escape! My mother and I were laughing so hard we could not see what we were doing. Just watching them try to run in the suds and getting no where fast. Then Abby (one of the lil westies) decided she had to help. Despite constantly trying to spray her in the face to get her out of the tub with the cats. (Which did not deter her in the least). Abby inevitably got a bath herself, cuz ultimately she was drenched by the time the cats were done getting their baths. Guess you really had to be there. But that was a great comic release, and the kitties (and Abby) smelled all perty afterwards! If that didn't get rid of those nasty ol' fleas. I said next I will just shave them nakey and pick off the fleas like a monkey...let's hope it doesn't come to that, hehehe.

...When I Was A Kid

Just a couple weeks ago, a video from youtube.com showed up on my facebook account from my little sister. It was an old clip from Disney channel we must of watched over a dozen times when we were kids. As I danced in my chair to the familiar music, memories from when I was a kid came flooding back and it warmed me to the core.



When my sisters and I were kids we didn't have cable. Our grandmother in VT, thinking of us, taped several hours of Disney channel cartoons on VHS tapes. We treasured every one of them, from the holiday specials to the random Mickey Mouse and Goofy cartoons. Cartoons were so much better back then.
I remember waking up early, running out in my pj's. Crawling up onto the counter in the kitchen on my hands and knees to kneel up and reach for my favorite Smurf coffee mug in the cupboard. Only to hop down and quickly fill it up with dry cereal so I could join my sisters with theirs in the living room. We would plop down in front of the TV for Saturday morning cartoons and munch on our sugary cereal. That was our idea of bliss on the weekends. Weekends quickly came to an end and before we knew it, it was Sunday night (bath night). Sat in our jammies with our brushed out wet hair, as we all waited for Tinkerbell to come out from behind Cinderella's castle. We watched Wonderful World of Disney right before we were sent off to bed.
After she sent me that video I started looking for every Disney cartoon I could remember growing up. Gotta love the internet sometimes, though it has its faults, I was miraculously able to find each and every video I could think of. Even some I had forgotten. Memories of this and that and, being a kid with no worries came back to me quickly. I miss those days. Growing up we always heard about how we should cherish every moment, because you grow up fast. "Someday you will miss being a kid." I couldn't wait to grow up, now I find myself one of the 'grown ups' saying those same things to kids nowadays. I can't wait to someday share these same cartoons with my kids.

Bubba's 21st Birthday

Bubba had long heard the stories of an amazing family
tradition. It seems that his father, grandfather and
great-grandfather had all been able to walk on water on
their 21st birthday. On that special day, they'd each
walked across the lake to the bar on the far side for
their first legal drink.

So when Bubba's 21st birthday came around, he and his
pal Jim Bob took a boat out to the middle of the lake,
Bubba stepped out of the boat and nearly drowned! Jim
Bob just barely managed to pull him to safety. Furious
and confused, Bubba went to see his grandmother.

'Grandma, he asked, 'it's my 21st birthday, so why can't
I walk 'cross the lake like my pappy, his father, and
his father before him?

Granny looked deeply into Bubba's troubled eyes and said,
'Because your father, your grandfather and your great
grandfather were born in January, when the lake is frozen,
and you were born in July, you dumbass'.

What's Better Than Banana Bread?

Banana Bread In A Jar!!

Just happened upon this recipe for banana bread and figured I would put some of my mother's numerous collection of pickle jars, to good use. Very simple and they came out great! Not to mention they look super cute.☺
