@thebiglybestestdoggie: If you don’t want me running down the street like a giddy little psychopath, you might wanna remember to actually put the leash on me next time. Just sayin’…
~Happy Tuesday, everyone! For the record, I did have the leash in my hand… I just forgot to actually attach it to the doggie. On the bright side, I did manage to capture this charming photo of him smugly strutting down the street during his brief moment of freedom.~
Turkeys totally love me!
It’s true.
As a vegetarian, I pose zero threat to those poor fellows.
But enough about that.
Let’s kick today off with a little humor, shall we?
(Even if he can’t pass for a ghost, he may at least be able to pass as an albino turkey. And who the heck wants to eat that?)
(Um, hello!?! Surely the alarms in your turkey-brained head must be blaring by now!)
(Sorry to break it to you, but sometimes the truth hurts.)
(When you put it that way, it does sound more like a day at the spa, rather than the one-way ticket to inferno that it really is. But hey, enjoy that rubdown!)
(Save your breath, little turkey. You couldn’t pay me enough to make me want to eat you. Consider it my early Christmas present to you.)
(Bet that grass is looking like a pretty appealing option right about now.)
(Sure, but don’t get too complacent. Traditions can change over time…)
(Presumably, eating and being stuffed from the other end are not one and the same.)
(The need for posting every single thing on social media can get a little out of hand sometimes. Find a better hobby, turkey! On second thought, might as well make that final selfie count for all it’s worth.)
(Excellent point. Much like Columbus Day, Thanksgiving is yet another holiday of questionable origins.)
What exactly is it that we are celebrating, again?
Okay, okay.
Thanksgiving is a time to enjoy spending with family and friends, celebrating the myriad of reasons to be thankful, today and every day.
Because there are always reasons to be grateful in this life.
~Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Hope you all have a wonderful day! ~
(Merry Gobble Gobble Day originally appeared on Comically Quirky on 10/24/16)
@thebiglybestestdoggie: Did someone say “feast”?!? No clue what exactly Thanksgiving is even about, but I can already tell I’m gonna like it. Bring it on!
~Happy Tuesday, my friends! For those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, Jett and I wish you a joyous day filled with good food and good times. Bon appétit!~
What do you do all week?
I swear, sometimes I ask myself that very same question.
Where is the time going?
And perhaps more importantly…
What the heck have I accomplished lately?
I’m gonna go with nothing.
Or nothing much, anyway.
Definitely not a whole hell of a lot, from the look of things.
I’m sure laundry and emptying the dishwasher technically count as something.
And with a to do list a mile long, surely I’m not lacking for things to do.
Yet, it seems that for every one thing I manage to cross off the list, I’m instantly having to add 10 more things.
It’s like being a hamster running circles on a wheel that never stops.
(Is this why people sometimes refer to life as a rat race? Interesting…)
On days like today, there is little to show for it.
Let’s see.
Today, I…
Fed the kids breakfast.
Fed the dog.
Brought the boys to school.
Walked the dog.
Worried incessantly.
Did multiple loads of laundry.
Emptied and filled the dishwasher.
Vacuumed.
Wandered.
Picked the boys up from school.
At least, I think I did…
Did I?
Where are those boys?
I haven’t heard a peep out of them in a while, and that’s never a good thing.
Hmmm.
Oh, well.
But truly, I don’t sit at home shoveling Bon Bons down my throat like a glutton while watching soap operas when the kids are at school.
For one thing, I don’t have the attention span to watch a soap opera.
Or anything else, for that matter.
I typically have to get up and do something.
Like dust off the TV or pull out the vacuum…
I’m telling ya, my ability to multitask has reached new levels.
Did you know it’s entirely possible to eat breakfast while pushing the vacuum around the house?
Yeah, well.
I never said it was a particularly good idea.
Some people have to go to the gym to stay fit.
But I get all the physical activity I can safely handle by pushing the vacuum around while balancing stuff while also trying not to choke to death.
I think I’m on to something here.
Some days, I drink my green smoothie out of a cocktail glass.
Because, why not?
By my calculations, I spend roughly three hours a day worrying about everything that is, and everything that can, go wrong.
Such an impressive use of time, I know.
My mind doesn’t merely wander.
It full-out gallops across intersection after intersection of green lights with not a single red light in sight.
I wander around the house, trying to remember what I had set out to do in the first place.
So then I wander around the neighborhood in hopes of clearing my head.
But curiosity wins and I start wandering into new construction homes within my development.
On the way back, I marvel at why the flag is at half-staff, and resolve to Google it when I get home.
And then I get back home and start to worry about everything that needs to get done around the house…
From touching up paint to dusting the base boards to dealing with the backed up dryer vent.
So I become overwhelmed as all these thoughts swirl through my head.
Then before I know it, it’s time to pick the kids up from school.
And I still haven’t managed to eat lunch.
Did I mention I’m still in my pajamas two minutes before I have to head out?
I cram a protein bar down my throat as I’m driving.
So what if my time management skills aren’t looking too hot at the moment?
Some days, I manage to get an entire week’s worth of things accomplished.
Go figure.
A little laundry, a little cleaning, a little writing…
And a whole lotta worrying.
About the state of the world.
About if I’ve somehow been screwing up my kids all along.
About the commotion of upcoming holidays.
That’s right.
Let’s just add the chaos of Christmas to the mix, too, shall we?
Because I might become bored otherwise.
It’s the season…
For what, exactly?
Migraines?
Ulcers?
Some days I start off by making a healthy green alkaline smoothie…
And end the day with a shot of Baileys.
Is it so wrong I’m secretly kinda sorta okay with everyone in my family landing on the naughty list to alleviate some of the stress?
I think I might have to accidentally delete the to do list on my phone.
I’d be okay with that.
Oops.
Too bad, so not sad.
So what is it that I do all day?
I swear, sometimes I just don’t even know.
~Happy Friday, friends! Hope you’ve all had a great week, and that you’ve managed to accomplish…well, more than I’ve managed to accomplish. Have a terrific weekend!~
Pretty sure this right here counts as a fairly significant accomplishment…
@thebiglybestestdoggie: To pee or not to pee- is it ever a question? But to poo or to pee… Ah! Now that is the million dollar question.
~Happy Tuesday, friends! Life is always full of challenging decisions for everyone… even for doggies! Who would’ve guessed they had it so rough? Ha ha ha! Hope you’re all having a fantastic week so far!~
I love holidays.
Truly, I do.
But Christmas decorations and shopping frenzies taking center stage before Thanksgiving?
Or before even Halloween, for that matter?
What’s up with that?
Unless you’re a retailer…
In which case, the thrill of Back to School/Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year all start in July.
Who needs one holiday at a time?
Bring ’em on!
Bring ’em ALL on!!!
(Literally. Everywhere. There’s no escape.)
(Because why the hell not, right? It’s never too early, apparently.)
(T’is the season… for what, exactly? It’s getting to be far too confusing anymore.)
(As efficient as Back to School/Halloween/Christmas shopping all at once might seem, this isn’t what I picture when I think about “one stop shopping”.)
(November isn’t technically off-limits for Christmas cheer… but September and October are definitely pushing it.)
(You know what they say- if the bottle ain’t opening, it ain’t time yet. Try again later. Like after Thanksgiving, perhaps.)
(It’s hard to argue with the fact that Thanksgiving is indeed rooted in violence, but it isn’t typically the turkey doing the carving.)
(On the bright side, if you get it all out of the way now, you may be able to avoid getting out of the house again until well after the New Year!)
(What a great way to cover nearly half a year’s worth of holidays under one convenient catchphrase!)
(Well, at least since Halloween is done and Witchy Poo finally got her turn, Santa is now only trying to push his way in front of one other guy…)
(I think it’s safe to say that turkeys everywhere are sick of playing second fiddle to Santa.)
(And it would appear that the Pilgrims are none too pleased, either…)
(Nor is Grumpy Cat. But then, when is he ever in the mood to celebrate anything?)
(But we all have different opinions, and that’s okay. If Darth Vader is feeling the spirit of the season already, more power to him.)
The magic of the season is undeniable.
Even though I’m not entirely sure what season we’re celebrating at the moment…
All I know is that I’m not quite ready for Christmas music or Christmas shopping…
Or even putting up the Christmas tree.
The insanity of the season can wait.
Right now, I’m perfectly content with relishing the delightful crackle of vibrant autumn leaves beneath my feet on a crisp November morning.
Unless, of course, I’m somehow magically gifted with a one way ticket to a remote tropical island.
Then I’m all for it.
Ho ho ho!
~Happy Saturday, friends! Have a terrific weekend!~
@thebiglybestestdoggie: Human trying to take selfies with me. Can’t decide whether to eat the camera or her. Will decide…right after she’s done rubbing my belly.
~Happy Tuesday, friends! Thanks for joining us for more twit-tweeting doggie fun! Please stop by and check out the hilarious new about page for Tails ‘n’ Tweets with Jett!~
Two of the most dreaded things in life:
Going to the doctor…
And waiting.
Pair those two things together and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.
Especially when you add a couple of kids to the mix.
Then things really start to get ugly.
Yeah.
It’s a disastrous combination.
Meow Mix tastes like crap!
When is that guy coming in here again?
This, evidently, is how my boys enjoy passing the painful expanse of time waiting for the doctor.
Eww! Who farted?
Are you sure it wasn’t you?
Poop smells terrible…ly good!
What is the matter with you?
I’m tired! And I’ve had too much caffeine!
The room goes silent for a brief moment before they move on to battling it out over the leather spinning stool.
Oooh! It’s so soft and smooth. It’s like hugging the inside of a cow!
(As a vegetarian, this thought is especially unpleasing to me.)
They direct their attention to whatever Nintendo DS game they’d brought along for the ride.
This level sucks! Freaking Mario! You suck so bad!
The door to the room opens, and my older child redirects his attention.
He accusingly points at the doctor and indignantly exclaims:
We’ve been waiting forever for you! What took so long?!?
Don’t talk to the doctor like that! I’ll slap you!
Here, I’ll take care of that.
And he slaps himself.
Can we go to 7-11 and get Slurpees after this?
I don’t think so. Stupidity equals no Slurpees.
I’m gonna stick a cactus in your eye!
If your murder me, you’ll go to jail!
I’m gonna throw you off a three-story building! No, off a ten-story building! No, off the Empire State Building!
(Note: this is not at all what I envision when I encourage them to aim high.)
Keep that up and you’re going to be on America’s Most Wanted.
What’s America’s Most Wanted?
At this point, the doctor good-naturedly interjects:
You don’t want to be on wanted posters in post offices all over the country, do you?
Ooh, yeah! I want to be on America’s Most Wanted!
Can you hurry up and give him his shots now?
I’ll throw you out the window!
No, you won’t.
Last time you had to get shots, you screamed like a girl!
Why you gotta be so rude?
Augh! Don’t you dare! Don’t you do it!
Hold still or they’re gonna send a football player in to tackle you for your shot!
Wanna go? Come on. I’ll take you down!
The doctor’s gonna whack you with his reflex hammer if you don’t knock it off.
Oh, yeah?
Hey, good job! You did it!
And just like that, it was all over.
Can we go out to dinner?
Ha! Like I’m going to take anyone anywhere after that mayhem.
But at least we made it out of there without any of us ending up on America’s Most Wanted.
~Happy Saturday, friends! Have a fantastic weekend!~
Why settle for brawling at home when you can share the joy by brawling in public?
