Random Ruminations
- When, WHEN, is Downton Abbey starting back up?
- Speaking of royalty, meet Tiger Jr.:
- No, the Zadge didn’t get a new kitten. Not exactly. Lizzie and Levi did – they found this little cutie wandering the streets near their house. And they are dying to keep him but couldn’t afford the vet, so the Zadge took Tiger Jr. to her vet for all his shots. Lizzie squealed and hid her eyes when TJ got his shots, but TJ was a soldier.
- Speaking of Lizzie, is she gorgeous or what? The Zadge has been thinking about trying to get her a kid-modeling gig — the Zadge thinks her unique mixed race background would be very sought after in advertising — so she can get some money for college. The Sista thinks this is a bad idea because it puts too much emphasis on her looks, but the Zadge thinks Lizzie – probably the most self-confident kid she’s ever met – can handle it.
- Speaking of the Sista, it must be Kitten Fever Week – the Sista got a new kitten today too! Meet the Zadge’s newest nephew, George:
- Speaking of critters, the Zadge has declared war on the squirrels that roam her property and taunt Bugs. She caught one of them this morning in the act of eating her brand new picket fence for breakfast:
Any suggestions to deter them are welcome, but the Zadge has already decided on poison.
- Speaking of killing things, remember when Carrie Bradshaw’s boyfriend broke up with her by Post-It note, back in the early 2000′s? (The Zadge hates the term “Aughts” and refuses to use it, even though she just did.) Well, yesterday, the Zadge ended her relationship with Dr. Boy Toy by text, circa 2012. Then she felt sort of sad, because he was extremely gracious, and nice, and complimentary to the Zadge. And he did take her to lots of great restaurants.
- Speaking of current and ex boyfriends, the Zadge is going to be sad to see the Olympics end. Except that now, her only remaining boyfriend, Ryan Lochte, will have so much more time to spend with her. And SHUT UP with the “he’s stupid thing”. Like it matters.
- Speaking of so not being stupid, if you aren’t reading Cupcake Murphy’s blog, you must. She’s brilliant and insanely creative and funny, and she is a published poet, and the Zadge is often too intimidated by her greatness to leave a comment. And the Zadge is never intimidated, so that is saying something.
- Anyhoo, the Zadge has been a ‘Cake fan for years now, and introduced the Sista to the Cake, and those two developed a business relationship, and then they became friends, and then they became sistas, and then we all became one big happy family. Anyhoo, the Zadge and the Sista and the Cake all love sending the old-fashioned greeting card in the mail. And the Cake sent the Zadge the funniest card. So the Zadge sent the Cake a card back. And she told the Sista about it and that’s when the Sista said, “That’s the exact same card I sent to the Cake.” And the Cake took a picture of the identical cards:
Yes, the Zadge, the Sista and the Cake are sister wives. Check your local Reality TV listing for their next episode.

I read Cupcake Murphy’s blog all the time… seldom feel intelligent enough to respond.
I’ve only dreamed of pen pals such as yourself and your sister. I’d send you a card a day, however I fear I would alienate you. Long live the postal service!
I want in on the Sister wife deal, Sista.
Oh, you’re in for sure!
LOL, as the kids say these days.
So nice of you to take TJ to the vet. I hope he’ll be an inside cat (as all cats should be).
Check out Raise The Red Lantern and tread lightly, sister wives.
Lizzie is absolutely beautiful.
Those two yellow kitties are adorable. Yellow cats make the best pets.
Squirrels are rats with fluffy tails. They are on death row at my house because they ATE the siding off my husband’s workshop down to the plywood and our neighbor’s plastic chairs. Now they have started on our beautiful bird feeder my husband built. I’ve either killed or relocated 177 of those little devils. I shoot them with a .22 rifle, which is illegal as Hogan’s goat and I’m probably going to jail, or I relocate them, in a tender trap we have, to the back side of our local Lowe’s because there is an interstate between us and Lowe’s and I figure if they can make it back across the interstate they can live any place they want. How’s that for a long sentence? They are nothing but a nuisance, a destructive nuisance.
The sister wife card cracked me up, and so did Hulk.
Tee – I love that you bring them across the interstate! Too funny! I hope they don’t make it back either! When the weather cools a bit they will be out in full force in my yard gathering the acorns for winter – I sick the dogs on them every day – maybe this year I’ll try loading up a bucket that only they can get to – and sprinkling poison all over them? If I could shoot a 22 in my back yard I would – the neighbors probably wouldn’t like it very much – but it’s a thought!
The image of sweet, seamstress Tee with a rifle popping off squirrels is cracking ME up!!! Bring that .22 rifle to Denver!
Hey, hey, hey! I’m a good shot too. Maybe I should change my name from Tee to Annie Oakley. You should see my target from the firing range. I shot my adopted son’s .40 cal pistol and did quite well. He can’t hit the side of a barn with it and I don’t understand why.
Zadge, I just posted on my blog a photo of my last target at the range. Just for you. Heeee.
Zadge you should sprinkle cayenne pepper on your fence. The squirrels hate it. That is a gardening tip for tulips(which squirrels LOVE), just sprinkle them in cayenne and the squirrels will get a taste and take off.
Sweet Lizzie is beautiful. You are so wonderful to take care of vetting their cat. (((HUGS))) to you!
HeatherP, I think the cayenne pepper will flavor the poison quite nicely!
Sunday, January 6, 2013!!!!
Oh, god, Mare, THANK YOU!!!!! Or should I say, THANK YOU, M’LADY!
Miss a week and miss a lot here, wow.
I would be remiss if I did not mention that buying shoes for Lizzie AND her siblings makes an impact that has no price attached to it. Worked for 11 years with low and no income families and your kind heart with not only Lizzie but her siblings is an inspiration beyond words.
Boy Toy, jerk off.
Yes, I think Lizzie could manage some kid modeling audition/gigs.
–>I hate squirrels and they hate me too. I would try spraying bitter apple on the fence and see if that works. It should keep the dogs from jumping up as well. I don’t know how long it would last after a good rain though.
Text was your only option…..so he could read it and comprehend it while he wasn’t talking about himself…..
Long time reader, seldom commenter here…
1. I read January it when it will be back. I can’t wait!
We should have a big party on Jan 6. I am looking forward to two shows coming back, The Walking Dead and Downton Abbey. Odd pairing, I know.
Lizzie could rock the kid model thing. She’s a beauty! And college money is a good thing. My son has his student loan bill coming up and still no job!!
If I were your sister-wife I would totally braid your hair.
And I wouldn’t want to be the birther sister-wife, so I would make it up to the other sister-wives in other ways since they would have to be the pregnant ones. Like making delicious bundt cakes for them.
Not that I want them to get fat or anything.
