More sunshine...

but no lollipops or rainbows

instead pretty flowers and leaves

sitting in the sunshine

and shade

enjoying the light and warmth.

The middle two photos are of a varigated lipstick plant.

and the bottom one is of an ivy I have forgotten the name of,

but love because of the silver specks on the leaves.

Kitty freak out.....

This is the song that is stuck in my head today.

Yesterday the cat was in pain and I was freaking out, trying to help her.

I did the one thing one shouldn't do when

upset and paniced.

I went to the internet and looked up what I thought was wrong with her

to be met by gloom and doom.

We went to the store and bought Metamucil.

For her, not us.

I got her favourite food.

I fed her and she ate,

not knowing I had laced her food with the Metamucil.

She settled down and went to sleep for a while.

At about five o'clock this morning I heard her meow

but the hubs got up

so I stayed put.

He came back to bed and all was quiet.

I got up a little while later and she met me at the door

as always

and I fed her once again with the laced food.

She ate a little and had a drink and went back to her bed.

She has been quiet and peaceful all morning.

Sleeping and just resting.

Husband told me he cleaned her box when he got up

and she just peed.

So that is why I am singing about

sunshine and lollipops and rainbows...

 keep your fingers crossed

she's OK.

It's all OK now

(the blanking fridge isn't fixed

but I am!!!)

And to show you just how fast I can

get over a rant

I give you these,

to brighten your day,

as they have mine.

Little violets

with sweet faces and a sunny

disposition!!

It's Friday... again....

(This is a bitch fest...

warning you incase you don't feel like reading

a rant)

:-#

Another week gone.

The first week of March.

Around here,

a very frustrating week.

Not complaining,

I have nothing to complain about...

BUT when things get to you

you should say them out loud

and then they can get smaller

and fly away.

We are having "Appliance Problems".

The fridge is acting crazy.

It's because things are made to be consumed and thrown away

and we are supposed to just go out and buy new and more.

If the economy had to rely on us, the husband and I,

we would all be living in that cardboard box,

under the bridge!!

While I like to change things now and again,

and the husband is still stuck in 1950,

(as the sons used to tell him)

I don't think we should have to buy a new Major Appliance

every year or even every two and a half years.

Our old fridge lasted way beyond it's expiration date

and now we are faced with this eye candy

piece of junk.

Didn't choose it, but now you have it, so you have to use it.

Trying to get help, figuring out what is wrong with it,

is near impossible

and it gets very old, very fast, trying to get to the bottom of what is wrong.

Opinions run hot and deep,

and trying to help is futile.

'Nuff said on that subject.

Computers or computer boards or computer chips

have no business being part of something like a fridge.

MHO!

How in the hell did things work before all these new fangled

computers got to have a say

 in whether or not the freezer freezes

or the fridge stays cold?

And why, when you try to find out what is wrong

do you run into brick walls that just give you a migraine?

You know that car company that is having trouble?

It's the computer part of it. But they won't say that

 because they probably don't know how to fix them.

The one who designed it forgot to make a note of what to do when things go wrong.

Same idea there

the car doesn't work....

sell it and buy a new one.

So what if you have a scary ride down the hiway and end up on the other side facing oncoming traffic, or worse?

This is the land of buy, new and improved

there's plenty more where that come from.

It erks me no end and I am pissed.

The oven isn't as it should be,

the vacuum cleaner is a poorly designed contraption

that hits you in the leg every time you move it. You end up using the tool that is 1/2" wide to clean the house,because the part you are supposed to use doesn't fit under the furniture and the hose is still stiff and cumbersome. Oh, it'll suck you and the furniture, into next week....but just try to use it as you should...

and it cost a fortune.

Wasn't your choice, but you have it and you have to use it.

And on top of all this...

the cat is constipated!!??

See, I told you I have nothing to complain about.

It's all just part of life.....

the part that

just.....(fill it in yourself...)

As His Holiness said once

S--T happens
OOOOhhmmmmmm!!

(I meant to put this in and forgot)

Hope you all have a wonderful week end.

That you get to do something fun

and the sun shines on you 

and makes you warm.

Sincerely.

The first of March

The first day of March was

bright,

sunny,

with big, white, fluffy clouds

in a blue, blue sky.

There was a wind

that reminded you that we are still

in that part of the year

where the weather

can play tricks on you.

 Another month gone.

Another month started.

Let's see how fast this one goes by.

I like it when a new month starts on a Monday.

Feels right, somehow!

The weekend

flashed by so fast

I don't know where it went or

what I did.

Well, I know I watched

"The Hockey Match"

that will go down in
HISTORY...

no "miracle on the ice"

this time!!!

But, I am truly happy

that Canada won,

because it was their turf,

so to speak,

and they deserved it.
I think Canada did an amazing job
and except for the tragic beginning,
which won't be forgotten,
the games were
enjoyable
fun
and
entertaining.
I miss the games already.

Cheering for whoever was winning,

laughing and crying

with all the stories that come about,

learning about other people

from other places

and seeing what the world could be

if we just got over ourselves

and lived as one.

This planet belongs to all of us

and we really should learn to share it better.

So you wanna see what I got today?

Yellow roses

because the tulips were already dead!

I baked a peach pie

'coz it's my favourite

and my arse isn't big enough!

Had to go to the big "W" store

to get the cat her litter liners!! She is very particular about where she....well you know!

so while I was there I found the yarn.

AND

because my sister said she wants us to see eachother when we talk

 the geek squad of one

hooked me up a camera

This should be interesting!!!!

Well, I have taken up enough of your time

so have a good evening

and we'll see what nonsense I can come up with tomorrow.
