I Know What Thanksgiving Means

From a feline point of view, at least. Like her Russian Blue buddy, Igor, Madame Sylvia knows what's good for her - especially where food is concerned!

My big Blue girl
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I'm An Artist At Heart

Or so says today's Blogthings quiz, "What Does Your Birth Date Mean?"

Your Birthdate: May 29

You have the mind of an artist, even if you haven't developed the talent yet.
Expressive and aware, you enjoy finding new ways to share your feelings.
You often feel like you don't fit in - especially in traditional environments.
You have big dreams. The problem is putting those dreams into action.

Your strength: Your vivid imagination

Your weakness: Fear of failure

Your power color: Coral

Your power symbol: Oval

Your power month: November


Seems they were pretty much dead on, especially with the fear of failure thing. A former musician / artist boyfriend of mine wrote and recorded a song I sang. The collection was entitled, "Fear of Success". Downright uncanny.

The Daily Doggerel

What did I spy on the streets, perchance?
A fast-rolling cart. A man losing his pants!

He ran half the block, the cart getting away
At first I thought someone engaged in foul play

The little wheels rolled and then turned to the right
Serendipitously slowed as the cart neared the light.

Then I saw the man laugh as he shook off his hood,
Caught up with the cart, rearranged the food.

He huffed and he puffed, then bent double from glee.
I saw what I saw, but the joke was on me!
