[My] Life in Wisconsin

T-Day After! The Awful Void...

Hope your turkey (or filet mignon) was excellent!


As for me, I availed myself of the unseasonably warm temps and cleaned up the yard a bit. Had some branches cut last weekend that were left in the R/W of the ditch, and it was high time to pretty that up a bit. (Oh, who am I trying to kid? One cannot really 'pretty~up' these ditches)... But anyway, I did a bunch of clearing it all out; and have already started building my burn pile for next spring in the backyard.


The above picture is exactly what I have been seeing since I woke up at about 12:30 this morning...  And am very happy that I do not have to go driving in it- How ever do people see anything when it is SO foggy? This is Pea~Soup Fog, Folks-  I couldn't even see the darned kennel!


And yet, I know there are plenty of DieHard shoppers out there, already grabbing up the first bargains they can see- and fighting their way through the hoards of other shoppers.


Not me. Never did it, and hopefully will never have to either!


No way, NO how!


And it is NOT even the biggest shopping day of the year, as so many have proclaimed it to be... It hasn't ranked that way in recent history either.


Now as for yesterdays entry...


I was not too certain how to go about s~t~r~e~t~c~h~i~n~g  that little mouse with its broken neck into serving enough food for the minions that appeared on my doorstep in the afternoon... So I cheated and we might have eaten a bit of turkey; some mashed potatoes that Casey made- and a few other things too.  My GI tract is currently quite unhappy with all of that!  (Must have been that 'mousey mouse' gravy)? hehehe  Image


But NO PIE!!!   Image


How awful is that???   That's like bad 'secs' or something- It's just wrong, and what's the point anyway? !  


The Fed-Ex guy didn't drop off any pie- Image


Nor did the airlines... Image


None was found in my mailbox- (or my inbox for that matter)- Image


I looked in the fridge. Image


I looked in the cupboards. Image


And I looked under my bed. (No wonder the damned cat died)... Image


Just NO PIE anywhere!!!   It gave me such bad dreams that I couldn't sleep, (overcome by this one little section of my tummy that was just so completely empty).


VOID OF PIE!!!  Image


Casey, Jenne, Isaiah, and Roberta came out- (& they didn't bring pie either).   Image


Berta did Jenne's hair... putting the highlights in, and on Sunday she will be cutting it also-  Hopefully she will have time to also cut mine- Am thinking about shaving it off if I cannot come up with a style I like.   (Um, sorry, no 'double~dog~dares' will be accepted)!


And so, it is onward and upward to Christmas, and the New Year too...  That makes me tired even thinking about it all; and like some of my compadres on here I shall be at least thinking of finding those decorations...


...maybe anyway...


Time to jump start my day!


...(and YAY!, Casey has just come in)!!!


 


XOXO
