And Cat Said, Let There Be Memes

 We are having mild weather this last week and today is around 70 degrees and sunny. I was out working on the porch stripping the old finish off the drawing board portion of the drafting table and was wearing shorts! I can't recall it ever being this nice and warm enough for me to be in shorts in October before.

My niece Jennifer and sister in law Cindy came though town yesterday with a few other family members headed to Vancouver B.C. for the weekend. It was nice to visit even thought it was a short while. I haven't seen them in almost two years I think. Jennifer just turned 15 this summer and she is now about 5' 8", and her cousin Justin who is a year younger than her is at least 5' 9". Man they have grown so much since I saw them last!

I found out through the health assessment at work that I am an inch shorter than I thought I was. I thought my dad had measured me when I was around 20 years old, and that I was 5' 10". Apparently that wasn't accurate, and I am 5' 9". It was very demoralizing! It certainly didn't positively impact my B.M.I. index that's for sure.

I did remain in the same category as far as my overall health though in terms of the blood test results, so that's good. And my doctor's office called me and said that my annual blood draw from there the week before showed me in the normal ranges for cholesterol so I was pleased with that.

I updated the blog layout a little bit again by switching out the picture to Munchkin & Boo. I think I am going to switch out the picture more often, just for a little variety.

Today's Best Comic Strips

Today's Get Fuzzy and Sherman's Lagoon were pretty good.
We had another beautiful day today,  tomorrow is supposed to be just as nice,  but rain is in the forecast for the rest of the week.  Bummer.

Sunny Wednesday

Bizarro - August 1 2014

A few comic strips from this month that tickled my funny bone. I also added 2 new GIF's from Colossal.com; too much cool stuff ALL the time!

I am taking another vacation day, and the weather is beautiful still. The prediction is now for a wet Labor Day Weekend here, which is somewhat of a bummer because it's our first 3 day weekend of the summer at work where the office is completely closed.

I can't really complain too much, we have had a beautiful summer. I'm going to work in the yard today and get things done while the weather is nice. Maybe I'll finally get around to posting some ice cream recipes this weekend....

Happy Monday Funnies

Sherman's Lagoon - July 21 2014

So it can't all be cat meme's right? I actually do like dogs, I used to take care of my brother Mark's dog Edna for the first three years I lived in this house back in the late 80's. And we had a dog the whole time I was growing up. I will have to post some pictures in another post...

Calvin & Hobbes

I am not on Instagram, but one day on LOL Cats there was a picture from the Instagram account of someone in Japan that I bookmarked on my computer and will check out once a week. They have a dog and tiger cat and a foster kittens. This picture really made me smile this morning.

We are still working lots of overtime at work, for me I'm doing about 54 hours, some of the seasonals are doing 12 hour days which I cannot go more than 10 hours myself. But I am looking forward to it slowing down so I can at least have a 2 day weekend soon. Here are a few of the comics that helped make me laugh and keep me sane this week.

Sherman's Lagoon - February 1, 2014

If this is not a photo-shopped picture, it is bleeping amazing that this snow drifted into the shape of a rose!


I will not be watching the Super Bowl tomorrow, but I still am rooting for the Seattle Seahawks nonetheless.

 It will not be as cold here as they are predicting for New Jersey, but we are looking at a cool dry week with temperatures only hitting the mid-30's during the day and high 20's at night. Ouch!

Get Fuzzy - March 2 2013

March is coming in like a lion here, so I'm hoping it will go out like a lamb and we will transition in to a early spring. Very wet this afternoon, and as usual I am falling behind in what I need to get done....

Sherman's Lagoon - February 27 2013

I have noticed that the trees and shrubs are starting to get leaf buds. My Rose in the back yard is really leafing out as of this week and the Day Lilies are really starting to get tall after it has warmed up after the last freeze. And my Hydrangea is starting to leaf out as well.

Christmas Cactus - Sunday, March 3rd

I'm going to start my Sweet Peas inside very soon, and have already shifted one of my Geraniums that I winter indoors to the front porch to get acclimated.

And my red Christmas Cactus is blooming and budding right now and the larger pink one has just started to bud. The Christmas Cactus I got started for my supervisor Kelly at work was blooming before mine. She is so excited that she hasn't killed it, I'm happy for her that it is blooming twice like mine♥

Current Cartoon Favorites

I've been meaning to post some of my favorite political cartoons that have come out recently.

Sherman's Lagoon, May 28, 2012

I love Sherman's Lagoon, and I thought they pulled this one off well.

I read all of the my cartoons online now that I only buy the newspaper on Sundays. Two of these cartoonists are on the Go Comics website. The website has quite a few cartoons and you can log in and register and save your favorites.

I read a brief bit on The Huffington Post this afternoon that Donald Trump has proclaimed himself to be Mitt Romney's Vice Presidential Pick. His ego will never cease to amaze and amuse me.
Here it is:

'Usually known for his eloquence and reserve, Donald Trump bombastically touted himself as Mitt Romney's vice president. Assuredly, he feels that if the "Seinfeld" chick can get elected in that HBO documentary, anyone can.'
