Another this and that

-

 Drew found a great new takeout restaurant.  They have a full Japanese menu and a full Chinese menu. And a handful of Thai dishes.  Great option when we can’t decide what to order.  

Duchess had her annual “well cat” visit at the vet the other day.  You would have thought she was being murdered, that’s how loudly she complained when Drew put her in the carrier.  She got a clean bill of health, thank goodness.





That’s a happy cat.  She rules over her kingdom from the top of her cat tree. 

I still have an entire jar of candy corn on my kitchen table.  Yes, it’s all in the infamous pumpkin …  I’m still dealing with Halloween leftovers and it’s almost Thanksgiving.

Our Thanksgiving plans are starting to come together.  And with the first night of Hanukkah falling on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, it’s going to be a very busy weekend.

And Thanksgiving means I’ve been in this apartment for a full year.  I am so happy I found this place.  I am enjoying living alone.  

Winter weather is coming.  I’m not happy about that, but I’m ready.  Drew just gave me a pair of gloves … a gift from one of the charities he supports.  They’re pretty gloves, stretchy material, bright red.  

Did I say one pair? The day after he gave me the gloves, he got another pair in the mail. He’s gotten tote bags, calendars, dream catchers, and note pads before, but the gloves were a “first”.

Funny, the only thing I ever get are address labels. I guess we support different kinds of charities.

Maybe I’ll wear the gloves when we go out for Chinese food.  Red is considered lucky, isn’t it?

    All I get from charities are note pads, address labels (by the yard), and, sometimes, calendars. I need to find out which ones give gloves away. I have to wear gloves even when it is in the 60's due to a medical condition. I could use some gloves, lol. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    Yes, I believe red is lucky in Chinese culture. It also represents fire, so keep them in the side of your room opposite your door (feng shui). Is this an early Hanukkah this year?

    I really wonder where this year went.

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
