3. I wish I could discuss politics without any repercussions.
4. I've been complimented on my caretaking abilities (for my Dad) but criticized for my political views. Both by the exact same family members.

Thankful for Crafty Friends & Family #ThankfulThursday
Meows from Mudpie!
Mommy always says she doesn't have a crafty or creative bone in her body, which makes her sad. She would love to be able to make catnip toys for kitties or cat-themed Christmas decorations, but thanks to lack of talent (and patience), it's just not happening. That makes her all the more thankful for the artsy people in her life!
Last fall our sweet friend Marjorie at the Dash Kitten blog posted pictures of the super cool hand-painted fabric Dia de Muertos cats she made. Mommy absolutely fell in love with them and mentioned that she collects Dia de Muertos kitties as part of our Halloween decor. Would you believe a couple months later one of them arrived in our mailbox, all the way from New Zealand?!?! Mommy was beside herself with delight, and you can be sure it wasn't put away for next Halloween! It's been out on display ever since it arrived.
Then shortly before Christmas one of Mommy's aunts posted a picture on Facebook of some felt ornaments her crafting group was making to sell at next year's Christmas bazaars. One of them was a gingerbread cat. Mommy had already picked up several gingerbread cat themed items at TJ Maxx and HomeGoods and *needed* this little cutie to add to her collection. She messaged her aunt saying she wanted to buy it, but at a family funeral in January her aunt brought it along and gave it to her!
And no, he wasn't put away with the Christmas decorations. Both of our new little friends have been left out for us to enjoy year round.

2. I used to like going on day trips, but not anymore. I'm becoming more of a homebody by the day.
3. Bones and Joffrey's are obscure coffee brands that I really enjoy. I've been picking up so many fun flavors at TJ Maxx and HomeGoods.
4. I'm most productive late in the evening. I think of all kinds of things I want to do the next day, then the next day comes and I no longer feel like doing them! Guess I should probably just get them done when the urge first strikes.

Feline Friday: Spring Cleaning Time!
Meows from Mudpie!
This was a first for me! Last night I wanted to take an after dinner nap in my Kat Kabin. I walked up to the door, pulled out my winter blankie, then stepped over it and climbed in! Guess I was letting Mommy know it's time to wash the blankie and put it away until fall. She reminded me it's still early March, and even though we're experiencing a slight warm up, I'll probably want my warm blankie back before long.
(Notice the little ghostie peeking out? Mommy hung him there for Halloween many years ago and never took him down. Every now and then I bat him around. He kinda looks like he's pleading for help here.)
