WILDCAT NATION, BABY!!!

Yep, I used to cheer that during March Madness.  
Mama and I had a soft spot for University of Kentucky already, so imagine our delight when Sister announced she was going there for her masters studies.  Lexington, Kentucky is a good little jaunt from Malden, and we couldn't be there with Sister when their beloved pug suddenly died, or when she or Brother-in-Law were sick or lonely, but it was worth it.  Sister and BiL both loved it there, to the point that they hoped to return after Sister's doctoral studies were complete, but it didn't work out that way.  As I touched on in this post, Sister got a two-year gig with University of Arkansas, and while it's not Kentucky she and BiL do seem happy there.  Sister has spent the past two weeks helping birth calves in Batesville, by the way, and there's no end in sight as four cows are still pregnant.  Last night it was six, but two dropped overnight.  BiL says that one calf had complications and Sister didn't get to bed until two in the morning...and she had to be up again at six.  They were out in the rain getting the problem calf to eat, but it apparently paid off.  The calf is alive and well.  One of the ones delivered yesterday was a chonker, by the way; a baby bull weighing two hundred pounds.

The Razorback bow that I showed y'all on the August 4th fell apart, by the way.  First bow I've ever thrown away, and I hated to do it, but what can you do when the damn thing loses all its pieces???  So I'm looking for another, nicer Razorback bow.  How hard can it be?

Let freedom ring

Image
Yet another patriotic one.  This one came from Etsy, but I don't know what shop it was. This one is one of three that my mother got for me in one fell swoop.  The others are the jellybean bow from June 3rd and the flag bow from June 14th . Like them, this bow is a big one. Let freedom ring, baby!  I remember sharing my memories of Flag Day, but I don't remember sharing memories of the Fourth of July...at least, not here.  Oh, I've got so many!  Halloween is my mother's favorite holiday, and Independence Day was my dad's for reasons unknown.  May have had something to do with his love for history.  But anywho, about April Daddy would start setting aside a little money here and there for fireworks, and as July 4th rolled around he'd buy fireworks with that money.  A few here, a few there, a whole sh!tload at Reeve's Boomland in Charleston...oh, Boomland.  I liked going there, but as I grew older I began to realize that it was kinda a dangerous...

Pac-Man fever

Image
For the record, I suck at Pac-Man.  I've only played it a handful of times, but each time I couldn't get past the first level.  I guess it's one of those games that requires practice and patience...and patience is NOT one of my virtues!  Regardless, I do like Pac-Man.  Compared to the dumb video games we have today Pac-Man's simple innocence is...well, it's pretty nice.  Unfortunately I'm about to make myself look like a complete hypocrite, because my Pac-Man is munching more than just little white pellets! Phooey on pellets and fruit and ghosts, Pac-Man's hitting the hard stuff!  The Etsy carrier, DollfaceDesignss , goes heavy on the horror, so I guess Pill-Popper Pac-Man is kinda tame compared to Psycho .  Whatevs, I like my accessories a little (or a lot) on the offbeat side, so I'm happy.  This is a mighty nice bow, by the way.  Some of my bows pull my hair like mad, but this one slid right in. In addition to the goofy hair bow I've gone ...

International Sloth Day

Y'all know what that means! I think I've worn and shown this bow before (shop name is CherylsBowtasticBows ), but it's one of my favorites because SLOTHS, that's why!  I don't think I ever showed y'all my earrings, though. Those also came from Etsy (shop name is JMDesignsbyUS ), and they're made of wood.  JMDesigns is located in Sedalia, so usually when I order from them I get my item(s) toot sweet.  I never have been to Sedalia, by the way.  They seem to be a tornado magnet, having been hit in 1952, 1973, 1977, and 1980, so maybe I'd best NOT go.  The tornado in 1952 hit the Missouri State Fair, by the way.  Normally it's a bad thing for a tornado to hit during the night, but in that case it was a very good thing, as the fairgrounds were fairly empty.  Indeed, the only fatality in the 1952 storm was in a mobile home, not on the fairgrounds.  But enuff of that; this is supposed to be about sloths, not tornadoes!  If you've read my doll blog t...
