Alas, Poor Pumpkin (Feline Friday redux)

-

 Testing … testing … testing …

The “Shadow testing mom’s patience” system is fully operational.

  I was in the office yesterday.  I stopped for take-out on the way home.  Got home, fed Shadow, then sat down to eat my salad.  

Shadow jumped up onto the table.  I said “get down”.  She did.

A few minutes later, she jumped up again.  I said “get down”.  She did not get down.  I guess she really wanted some of my salad.  I picked her up and put her on the floor.

A few minutes later, she was on the table again.  This time, she resisted when I tried to pick her up.

And then I heard a crash.

Backstory:  in September 2021 Drew and I took a Road Trip To Corning.  The purpose of the trip was to visit friends, but while we were there we spent an afternoon in the Corning Museum of Glass.  One of my souvenirs was a beautiful glass pumpkin.  


Look what she did to my pumpkin.




I guess I’m lucky that the only thing that broke was the stem.  I suppose it can be glued.  I’m glad I don’t have to make some awful joke about smashing pumpkins. 

So instead I’ll tell you that my cat is in the dog house …

    A little glue and it look an easy fix.
    Coffee is on and stay safe.

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...
