As my Wordless Wednesday showed, we’ve had a lot of thunderstorms around here lately.
Since I live in a house that has been struck by lightning, we shut down all of the electronics now when there are thunderstorms, so there’s been very little computer-ing for me - LOL
The thunder has scared the holy crap (literally) out of the kittens, now one month old. They like huddling up by us, when mama goes to stretch her legs. When a bolt of lightning strikes nearby and the house shakes from thunder, the kittens shake fiercely, and one of them (Ebony - the darkest one) seems most terrified, and stiffens her little legs, sticks her tail straight up in the air, and drops a little dry poopie. LOL Thank gawd we caught on quickly, so now we put her a paper towel “diaper” under her as soon as the rumbles start. LOL
Hope this finds all of you well. I changed the “door” picture on the header - thanks for noticing, Kel!
I have a lot of catching up to do, and I am behind on all my E-Bay auctions etc, but I wanted to say howdy, and leave you with this joke:
~~~
Two bored casino dealers are waiting at the craps table. A very attractive blonde lady comes in and wants to bet $10,000 on a single roll of the dice. And she adds, “I hope you don’t mind, but I feel much luckier when I m completely nude.”
With that she takes off everything but her necklace and rolls the dice while yelling, “Mama needs new clothes.” Then she yells, “YES, YES, YES!! I WON, I WON, I WON.”
She begins jumping up and down and hugging both of the dealers. Then she picks up her money and her clothes and quickly leaves. The dealers just stare at each other dumbfounded. Finally one of them asks, “What did she roll, anyway?”
The other answers, “I don’t know. I thought YOU were watching.”
Moral: Not all blondes are dumb.

Hi Marti, the operative word in that Ebomy story was “DRY”
I saw the door looked a bit different but now I’ve GOTTA know what it was that I missed?

Geez, everyone has kittens except me. Between you and Bonanza I’m totally jealous. Of course… don’t tell Bonanza that or I might end up with fedex kitties and my husband would FREAK! LOL
I love a good thunderstorm, we don’t get very many here. That is probably one of the few things I miss about living in Colorado.
BTW, I LOVE the door picture at the top.

Ohhhh, poor little kitty! I’ve got a new kitty too and today she didn’t seem the slightest bit bothered by the rumbles. I was a bit surprised.
Sorry I’ve been a stranger. I hope to be a frequent visitor. I miss your blog.

You’re supposed to insert “a blonde from (your state)” in that one! And I can relate to the thunder. Two cats and two kids run and cling to me every boom.

I have literally scared the piss out of our cat Salem (and he’s 8 and a half years old!). Our senior cat (will soon be 19) is completely unflappable.
And that blonde joke is a hoot and a half!

I LOVE blond jokes, even though I qualify to star in one….on several levels. I have been so jealous of your kitties ever since they arrived, but we finally have some of our own now. Have a great weekend!
