The Bow Belle

Today is for our critters that are over the Rainbow Bridge. As far as I know BowBow is NOT over the Rainbow Bridge, but JoJo Siwa is a pet owner like the best of us, and she knows what it's like to lose 'em.  One of hers got taken by coyotes, which I can also relate to.  When I was little my paternal grandparents had four dogs, and one was a beagle named Peep.  Peep was allowed to roam loose (unlike the other dogs), and it caught up to her a couple'a times.  She spent the last few years of her life crippled after a car hit her, and not long after Grandpa died the coyotes got her.  Daddy found her remains on the ridge and buried her, and that was the end of my friend Peep. That said, I love coyotes.  I know they can be pesky and destructive, but they have their place in the world and I respect 'em.  On winter nights we can hear 'em way off, howling and yipping.  I love to hear 'em, but at the same time I'm glad they're out at the ridge and I'm here...

August 27th is Kiss Me Day, among other things, so I wore one of my Valentine's Day bows.  Not the naughty one , but another one. Word of warning, though:  if anyone actually does kiss me and they're not my mother, my uncle from St. Louis, or one of my pets, I'm knocking their teeth down their throat.  No unsolicited kisses for me, thank you too much.  Hmmm...maybe I should've worn my pride bow instead. Or maybe we're talking about Kiss with a capital K. Burn with me, heaven's on fire!!!  LOL, I forget how much I like Kiss sometimes; they're one of those bands that my sister introduced me to.  Oh, there's WAY more to Kiss than " Rock 'n' Roll All Nite ."  I think my sister said that her favorite song was " Detroit Rock City ," while I like the aforementioned " Heaven's On Fire ."  They're a fun bunch. Kinda puts a whole new spin on Kiss Me Day, LOL! Cheers, RagingMoon1987

It's another random day, so I reached into my bin and selected...Labubu! I discussed Labubu briefly on my doll blog, but for the uninitiated, Labubu is a plush toy that looks like a cross between a rabbit and one of the critters in Where the Wild Things Are .  They're ridiculously popular, and some variants go for a pretty penny, kinda like the Beanie Babies of my youth.  I get it, they're cute and soft and a little goofy, but I predict that in ten years' time Labubu will be a dated trend. On the lacquer front, I got a huge nail mail haul yesterday.  Not the biggest I've ever gotten, but big enuff. So far the biggest haul has been ten bottles in one day, but eight is not to be sneezed at.  From left, they are: *Color Club "Dirty Money" *Cupcake Polish "Freeze Frame" *Hard Candy "Hot Pants" *I Scream Nails "House of Horrors" *Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "PEEPS Party Cake," "PEEPS Marshmallow," "PEEPS Blue Ch...

She's a neurologist, to be specific.  Hopefully today we learn why I'm on a walker at the age of 38-going-on-39.   Oh yeah, it's also the first day of school for the suckers here in Malden. Not that they teach much at Malden anymore.  It's all computerized, and all the older kids care about is football.  That wouldn't be a big deal if Malden had a winning team, but we're currently on a slump and have been for a couple'a years now.  All sports teams go through slumps and it's not the end of the world, but it IS disheartening.  I'll share what I learn (if anything) over on my doll blog tonight.  God bless,  RagingMoon1987 

Oooo, I get two random days in a row! I don't know about y'all, but I'm kinda disappointed that the Lalaloopsy revival didn't last long.  True, the button-eyed minxes were top-heavy and not the least bit cuddly, and they creeped some people out, but they were also ridiculously popular during their heyday, and I'll happily admit to being a fan.  Indeed, I'm STILL looking for a Mittens Fluff 'n' Stuff; for some reason she was the It Girl when Lalaloopsy was a new thing. Much love, RagingMoon1987

No events, silly or important, struck my fancy today, so I reached into my box and grabbed a bow. Ah, the big cotton bow!  The cotton here in the Bootheel isn't looking pretty yet, but it won't be too much longer 'til it does.  Of course, that means that the crop dusters will be spraying that God-forsaken defoliant, but that's a small price to pay for living in a farming area.  I wouldn't trade my farmland for the world! If any of y'all have a favorite crop, please drop it below. Love, RagingMoon1987
