Getting ready

Today's bow is a turkey bow, one that came in the Right Box.  Shop was AdoraBowsStore.

As I'll elaborate on my doll blog in a few days, Thanksgiving is not the holiday for my family that it once was.  Indeed, this year I'd prefer to have a pot of spaghetti and be done with it.  Mama is good company, but when you're with someone every day you run out of things to talk about after awhile.  And Uncle Man-Child is NOT good company.  So I'll load up a few books and my favorite American Girl doll, and while that man-thing talks about himself all the livelong day I'll read and take pictures...after I'm done helping with meal prep, that is.  We're not gonna do the full turkey thing since there's only three of us, but Mama will still need my help.  I'm usually the "gopher," LOL.  Go for this, go for that, etc.  I don't mind that, though...unless I'm reaching for something just out of my grasp and do a face plant, like I almost did a few weeks ago.  Mama had sent me to the back bedroom to find shelly beans (we keep our "prepper" crap in the back bedroom).  The overhead light has a short in it, the supplies are poorly organized, and long story short I did a pratfall right onto a huge cannister of water.  I found the stupid beans (I loathe shelly beans), but it took forever and a day to get on my feet again.

Oh, and get this:  Mama said that if she had room she'd put the Christmas tree up.  That too would be a task for Mama and me, with Uncle Man-Child again sitting on his beam end and being verbally obnoxious.  I love Christmas trees and I have many happy memories of decorating Christmas trees, but one big tree for three people seems kinda pointless.  Hell, it would be pointless even if Sister and Brother-in-Law came home, because Sister doesn't care one way or the other about Christmas trees.

Sigh...I hope I'll be in a better mood soon.

Love,

Let freedom ring

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

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...
