Whilst watching CNN's coverage of the January 6th Hearings...

 During a break, while watching this morning's surprise hearings, I looked at Cookie's blog and if you didn't already read it, go NOW and read today's post!

Bottomline, VOTE in every election because it is really true all politics is local. Councils, mayors, county supervisors, school boards, sheriffs, and yeah, the damn dog catchers, VOTE because if you don't the repercussions will come back and bite you in the ass!

DIY will make you forget Friday and the day before that, and probably an entire political party

 At least, that's my thinking today.

Yeah, before super nana and Mr Matrix bought this house, I had told her not to toss a glass top table and that I would spray paint the aluminum legs and base whatever color she wanted.

Soooooo, that's my chore for today. They're going for a Morrocan theme outdoors, so a gorgeous cobalt blues color is being sprayed on. Since I'm the designated DIYer, I'm taking full advantage of the between coat drying time and watching Monty Don on the outdoor TV whilst sitting on the sofa with the overhead fan cooling my dumb ass! Oh, it helps that the MITM is providing me with cold Chardonnay and keeping my glass topped off!

Sometimes, a break from doomscrolling is an absolute must!

Now that I've finished lunch, it's back to "work" for me because somebody has to watch that TV and keep the citronella candle lit!

Happy Juneteenth or Happy Father's Day or Happy Sunday

 Whatever you're celebrating or enjoying today, make it the best damn day ever!

We're never guaranteed tomorrow, sweetpeas. Hell, not even the next minute, so be present in the moment. 


I love all y'all! xoxo

Someone you should know! Introducing The Rockmother!

Here's a great link to a FABULOUS woman I know! I met her via her blog ages ago, and have happily followed her ever since. A little backstory, Astrid was one of the folks I contacted once when the MITM was ill in London and needed assistance. She responded immediately, for which we will always be grateful knowing we will always have a friend and contact in London. (Since then, we've made many more pals across The Pond! You know who you are.) The concierge at the hotel found medical assistance before things got really serious!

I'm not sure which blogger I found first, but I do know I'm still friends with Istvanski and Howsey on a couple of those other social media sites.

On her website, you'll find links to what she's doing and her blog!

I hope y'all will check her site out because you never know when you might need a filmmaker or director!

Happy Birthday, MITM!!


 



Every year he forgets his birthday! This year, like every year, we have a party. Some years, it's been just the two of us, and then there've been big parties in other years. One year, for the first and ONLY time, I sprang a surprise birthday party on him and while he was gracious to all there, later he said, "Please, never again!" My favorite story about his birthday happened years ago while he was filming a documentary overseas in a warzone! His translator knew from his passport his birthday and arranged an impromptu celebration for him that somehow included gifts! 

Last night, we had a joint celebration with BGM who had a dance recital earlier. Afterward, the entire Krewe came back to celebrate her, and an early birthday party for the MITM! I just realized that we have absolutely no pictures of the cake, but rest assured the cheesecake was DELICIOUS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my darling Man-In-The-Moon!
