It's...THAT time again

Yeah, I've been wearing heart bows for a few days now, but for me the season of valentines doesn't begin until today.  Being single means that the first two weeks of February are a lonely affair for me, but I can still wear cute hair bows.  This one is your typical JoJo Bow, and it's got her doggie BowBow on it.
Yum, pink and red reminds me of chocolate-covered cherries!  Those only seem to come out around Valentine's Day, much to my chagrin.  I could easily eat my weight in those things...before they make me throw up, that is.  Too much chocolate can do that.  In my case too much chocolate will give me the trots before it'll make me throw up, but neither one is fun.  Alas, I will not be indulging in chocolate-covered cherries this year.  I had some troubling chest pains on January twenty-third, and I don't want to die before I reach forty so I've dropped the sweets and the junk food for the most part.  It's a good thing I love raw vegetables.  When Easter rolls around I'll eat a Cadbury egg or two, but I wanna be real careful.  But just the same, pink and red makes me think of chocolate-covered cherries, and I love the association.

Seeing BowBow so prominently featured on this bow reminds me that I'm a pet mommy times twelve (eight cats, two dogs, two birds), and that in turn reminds me of an article that Seventeen ran back when I was a teenager.  The article had some suggestions for single girls on Valentine's Day, and one of the suggestions was "volunteer at an animal shelter."  Animals need love too, the article proclaimed, and I remember thinking "What a fine idea that is!"  Unfortunately the closest animal shelter to Malden is clean down at Kennett, so I gave the family pets some extra TLC that day.  I plan on doing the same this year.

Much love,

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...
