Oh my gosh, you guys! My whole family was home alllll weeeek while I worked. That was rough. I missed my people so very much. I worked a lil late Monday and Thursday and quite a bit late on Tuesday (What else is a Tuesday good for?) On Wednesday, though, I left at 5:00. Well, 5 o’somethin, close enough. Work is crazy and I am crazed. If work was not crazy, it would have been an ideal time to take a personal day and enjoy the incredibly beautiful warm spring weather we had.
There have been teens at my house like whoa. There were so many teens in our house that the sisters resented visiting parties due to the lack of sister time. Today, The Mister told the sisters NO MORE SLEEPOVERS. As with any company, even when you like the teens a lot, you truly prefer your own…
One of them did this:
Which made me laugh, but also made me a bit uncomfortable, cause Gumby and Pokey, you know.
The Mister picked me up some fleurs. I no longer remember who had a vase of yellow daffodils, but one of you bloggers did, and I had daffodil envy so The Mister picked some up.
Aren’t they so frickin happy?!? Cheerful af.
The Mister made a concerted effort to pad my week with happiness.
Two nights, I fell asleep on him.
We took Moo to sushi. Yum!
We took Sassy to ice cream. Yum!
On Thursday, he picked me up from work and we got me this margarita. Yum!
Yes, I did drink it all. I slurped it right on down. It was good. I needed it. Plus quesoeverything!
Today he took me to work and took Blanche for her maintenance.
Sigh. He’s such a great person to share life with. I love him so much. Even though he is a grumpy man who has no memory and every chance he gets he offers my cat to houseguests, he is good to me.
Now that you know my week was rough but trimmed in pleasantries, I am delighted to announce I HAVE NO PLANS FOR THE WEEKEND! I shall do the week-end-ing as I please! Tra-la-la! Now, tell me, how are you?
Happy Friday Everyone!
You really need this weekend, from the sound of it. Hope you get some of it for your very own.

I still cannot get over how your cat looks like our Bella, right down to the one blue and one green eye! Your Mister sounds like a great deal, Joey! You probably didn’t even know the near-of-it-all when you said “I do”. That margarita? My eyes fell out of my head when I saw the size of it. Holy moly! My drinking days are over but even when I was drinking, I’m not sure if I could have gotten that whole thing down. Teenagers ….. Bless you! Hormones and stinky feet! OH I remember those days well! Gumbo and Pokey …. yeah I’d be a bit uncomfortable too even though I too would think it funny. I hope by now with half the weekend gone, yours has gone mighty fine. You deserve it!! Have a great day today!! 🌟🌟🌟🌈

and the center bloom you give us – has some backlight to that horn vibe – as if quietly playing the “happy” you are sending your readers via the blog

I am still laughing about Gumby and Pokey. That is the type of thing I would expect to see happen with teens. Once a group of friends of one of my teens drew phallic symbols all through the dust of another’s car. Oy! Those daffodils are so lovely!! Mmmm…margaritas!! We have a restaurant in town with massive margaritas. They have a limit of one per customer…and that’s all you need. lol. I’m not a kitty fan, so I won’t get into the bidding war I see in the comments. 😉 But I will say that your kitty has the most gorgeous eyes, so vibrant against the white. 🙂
