*sun stupor* -Chaos
I become so sidetracked with all the links I forget to come back here and comment on kitty photos. Chaos, you’ve got the life. BTW, za’atar is SO good on just about anything! Carrots, potatoes, tomatoes! Oh my.
Chris- Can you imagine going through life called Subaru? Or Toyota?
And fwiw- i like the squirrels better.
There is something to be said for Christmas season only a week long. I think we had nuns that were children of the 1890’s, when I was in the early grades we had to curtsy and bow if the principal came in and chant as one – Good Morning Sister.
I don’t have a dishwasher, so I cannot imagine how one would clean a skyline dishrack. Icky residue was my first thought.
Thanks for another nearly late Friday am!
Minneapolis has a lot going for it. Too bad it can’t be moved somewhere warmer.
Sea Monkeys! Of course I bought some in the ’70s from a comic book ad, and of course was disappointed when they didn’t look like the drawings. But it was still fun. And now I can just drive 15 minutes from my house and scoop up some live ones any time I want.
Poor unhappy kitty. Does not understand the concept of pole dancing.
Oh, no! Chaos! You broke him! Where are his legs? WHERE ARE HIS LEGS!?
Can I borrow some sun for my move tomorrow? Currently we have leaky clouds
I’ll get back to linkity sometime Monday, for destressing
We actually use krapula as the word for drunk 😉
Oh and I will name my SON Xzaiden!!! ..not
I’ve been buried in good, juicy Linkity. Very cool old pix of Wilshire–I used to work on Vermont and Wilshire in Koreatown. And I entered “Sensible Hue” in the color thesaurus, nice! Then I SCREAMED BECAUSE MY NAME IS IN LINKITY!!!! I am completely famous!! Proud, like Pulitzer Prize proud, and pleased! Likeity! I will try not to abuse my fame like a Lazy berk. :0)
I prefer the baby dragons. I used to live in Indiana, where porch geese were the norm.
I just bought the stretchy silicon food cover. Thanks!
Well they get an E for effort…..
I loved that stop motion video with the yarn. It was really beautiful and sad all at the same time.
