Hero’s to Zero’s…

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite cartoon?

Even though I don’t watch cartoons, nor have I for some years now, I will still attempt to answer the prompt this morning!

The only answers I have within my mental arsenal come from a good many seasons ago, so they look much different than they did back in the day.

Apparently, age has not been so kind to them…

Bugs Bunny was quite the athlete, what with all the popping in and out of all those rabbit holes…

But, it seems that time and too many carrots have done their work…

My only other favorite cartoons from the past were basically Disney productions, so they’re movies instead of cartoons, but this is my blog and I can do what I want!

Of all the classics to choose from, I will say that Robin Hood was, and still is, one of my all time favorite Cartoon‘s, if you will! Robin Hood was such a hero of the downtrodden, as well as, an adept tree swinger and lady charmer…

One can hardly recognize the fox he is today… what with Maid Marian running away with the Sherriff, some years after they moved away from Sherwood Forrest…

I have come to the determination that it’s better to keep my favorite cartoon character’s memory alive, rather than focusing on the harsh realities of most hero’s lives… after the cartoon is over!

Anyways, wanna cookie?

The Tale’s I Could Tell…

Daily writing prompt
What could you do less of?

I could go on for days with the many stories of times I’ve made a right mess of things… but for now, I’ll just give a few tidbits.

For starters, I’m one of the worst Christmas light roller upper’s known to man… I’m better off leaving them on the house all year round, or tossing them in the bin!

I’m not one of the most patient people around and I’m notorious for making a mess of opening a package. I have a vivid memory of accidentally ripping a large bag of candy open and flinging it across the kitchen… the kids had a party cleaning that mess up!

Last but not least, there’s my habit of making a royal mess of a single bang trim. One tiny miscalculation… and my repeated attempts at correcting the error only end up making a bigger mess!

Yes, I realize that the prompt asked what I could do less of… and no, I’m not going to satisfy that question with an answer! Why?

Why would I want to do less of anything, when there is always something I could focus on doing more of?

I won’t write less, I won’t love less, no sense in trying less, or even living less. I live by faith not fear, so there goes doing less of the fear thing. I live by grace and forgiveness, so out the window goes less of self shame, guilt, and loving myself less. Sorry… I got nothin here!

I suppose I’m more of a do morer than a do lesser kind of girl!

And… I’m definitely a mess maker, too!

Here, have a cookie…

They’re messy, but Oh So Good!

All the time…

Do you ever see wild animals?

Whether it’s fake animals,

Animal animals,

Or fully grown adults acting like animals…

I see one of them nearly every day!

Want a cookie?

Wednesday Words…

Eustace strongly believes that gifts should come from the work of ones hands… so he’s temporarily turned his office into a workshop if you want to come build something with him.

I think he has cocoa and some snacks hidden in there too…

Tuesday’s To-Do List…

With all the snowfall in the barnyard recently, Miss Tilly has me shoveling out the future parking pad for Santa’s sleigh…

Already!!!

Honestly, she’s a bit pushy if you ask me. 

Right now, as we speak, she’s got all the babes locked in the barn with her…

She’s refusing to let them out to play until after all their Santa letters have been completed and are ready for mailing!

Oh well!  At least it’ll all get done, right?!

I’m just glad she’s keeping everyone occupied while I freeze my toes off, making these frozen parking cubes…

Finally! A Holiday Prompt…

What is one thing you would change about yourself?

While I don’t actually have an elf, I do happen to know a few. 

The big thing up at the pole this year is fashion for the young Elflet’s! 

It so happens that I read about this very thing while reading Tilly’s invitation from Santa last week.

The theme floating around the workshop has been labeled “Functional Fashion,” according to Santa.

Tilly, herself, will be traveling to the pole two full days ahead of Christmas Eve, just for all the finishing work needed on her own new dress, coat, and sleigh harness.

We,re all so excited!

Don’t worry, I’ll be taking lots of pictures that I will then share with you.

For now, a cookie will have to do…

Both and Neither…

Am I a morning person or a night owl, you ask?

I am as ever-changing as the weather, and as everyone knows… storms don’t care what time it is that they hit the shore!

The sunshine warms, and the moon offers solace.  Why choose one over the other?

Besides, my cookies taste good anytime…

OK, so maybe we need to share this morning.  Please wipe your fingers on the towel there. Thanks!

Misty Morning…

Today’s weather forecast calls for reading 📚 resting 😴 and recovering from all the gobbling we’ve all been doing! 

Isn’t it strange that we gobbled up the bird known for gobbling… what a hoot!  No, I wasn’t referring to an owl, by the way.

Turkey = Gobble

Owl = Whoo (not hoot)

Smile, it’s Sunday!

Feelings…

What are your feelings about eating meat?

I’ve been so hungry, the burger didn’t stand a chance!

That cheat day… simply giddy!

3 a.m. ………… Oh, yeah!

I hope that was the answer they were looking for because I don’t actually have feelings for my food… it’s just food!

Well, maybe I have a thing about baking cookies…

Take one!

Operator Error…

What technology would you be better off without, why?

A tool is only as good as the one using it!

Technology isn’t the issue, really…

Often, our problem comes from not reading the instructions on the back of the box!

Just sayin…

Here, take a cookie…

Hopefully, I got all the hair.
