Breakfast was a healthy bowl of hot 7 grain cereal sprinkled with walnuts (and brown sugar of course). Only 1 cup of coffee allowed. No bone broth for me, or any other health fad (snort). I can't stand those fake doctors, or even worse the real ones who spout trendy nonsense!

The sun is shining but there is frost on the roof tops (brrrr). Today I will travel to the city to take Nephew shopping and offer assistance cleaning blueberries off his carpet.

Where are your skis Katie? Can I borrow them to go cross country, cyberwise, I mean.

Wait until Christmas into New Years Katie....to see The Holiday movie because the holiday is Christmas-months away.  OR, see it anytime.

I have always liked those Vermont Country Store ski pajamas..or the Peanuts cartoon print....very cute! Or anything with moons and stars on it.
The movie sounds interesting...I have never seen it.

Cwillie,
You are late getting to the slumber party!
The drawer is a cyber drawer, silly.
The kindle never made it into the drawer,
there was so much flannel in there.
Are you here to help make breakfast?
Any ideas?
Ever heard of Bone Broth? I've got lots, thanks to the hype
of the famous dr axe. It is supposed to heal gerd, and I added it to my berry smoothie yesterday. I guess one could put it into scrambled eggs?

You are mostly the earliest one up, regularly, after the UK, Countrymouse.
I know the night is over after you are up.
It is 4 a.m. here.

Good morning!

So what I can't figure out is this: since she seems to be up all night talking even though she has her Kindle in the drawer, just how big is Send's drawer??

Yes, Send. Kate Winslet's character was great in that movie.

Yes, that is the movie. Was the part played by Kate Winslet actually rich? I didn't know, but her house was idyllic. I thought she was just spending her hard earned vacation money. It was fun-I wanted to move to that country home. She was richer inside, I would think. I liked her character.

I saw that movie Send. With Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet right? Excellent movie. Excellent idea. Although they were both filthy rich. Can you imagine house exchange with some derelict who hoards or something equally as disgusting.

Gershun,
My pink and white striped nightshirt has satin on the outside, flannel on the inside, but it is not from VS. It is uncomfortable because it doesn't stretch, still like new after 20 years!

Has anyone heard of a house exchange program? I first saw the idea in the movie: "Holiday". One cute cottage was in England? Ireland? and one was in L.A., modern, high end (Beverly Hills?). People could start sending their parents or In-laws away on a vacation for free! Or go ourselves just for a change.

Send, I am going to wear my striped pink and white Victoria's Secret nightshirt. And no, it's probably the least sexy thing Victoria's Secret sells but it is comfortable and cool.

Yesterday, Hubs and I looked at more possible new homes. They always set them up so nicely with furnishings and so on. I asked the lady could we just buy it as is with furnishings etc. What a treat that would be. Probably they'd have to add 25 grand in furnishings to the price. They then took us to one that was not furnished. Looked like sh*t. Again, I asked, could we buy that one as is? She just looked at me sympathetically. LOL

Tonight's fashion line-up:
For Luckylu, I recommend the red Lanz of Salzberg "In a Cat's Life" flannel print pajamas.
Gershun can wear the "Playful kittens" flannel nightgown by Lanz.
MsMadge can wear the Nordic Snowflake flannel nightgown, also available at The Vermont Country Store online.
Other favourites will be Eileen West gowns, Jockey, Lands End, and L.L. Bean, more casual plaids. Will we be saving a place for Cwillie, Sharyn, Ali, Countrymouse, Susan, Guestshop, FF, cdn, Golden, Katie??? zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Luckylu, This is the last night of the slumber party. Appropriate attire is a high neck flannel nightgown, with either cats, doggys, birds, plaid, or flowers on them. I will have the air filter and fan on 24/7, Plus the air conditioner, but all the cats must get their own water and try to get along. It is crowded in the drawer, but we have lots of great bottled water and popcorn supplies-none of it is expired!
It has been so long since we have had guests, or even a party! I bet you all will be talking ALL night long!  Please R.S.V.P.
Yeah but  "hubs, they invited themselves",  "and you know how I love an impromtu  party".

Luckylu,
Did you know, being a cat Mom, that your cats love you for so many reasons?
One reason is that you allow them to sleep either in the drawer (keeping it open a crack); on the bed; or under the bed.

MsMadge, It was last year that Bookluver said to remove the pillow, stretch flat (like a cat-every morning- chiropractor had said) and lie flat on the bed to help your back (sciatica).
I remember this now, I know this now.

O dear. Last night my hubs complemented me for turning out the lights and putting the kindle away. He is proud of the changes I am making. When I told him all the funny jokes you all were making......he said:
"Did you tell them prior to all this you were sleeping with your kindle in the bed all night?" "Tell them to behave, we need the room". Lol.

Why is it that everyone can be soooo very funny?

CW, I'm on "lazy time" the past week -- sleeping when I want, sleeping quite a bit. It's only 4:30 here. I'll likely fall asleep for a few more hours and then... I don't know. I'm enjoying this week a LOT! Feels like I did set a burden down. Now if I can just keep from picking it back up...

Have a great day. "Early to bed, early to rise" and all that. 🌝

I just learned that Xanadu was the name of Kublai Khan's summer capital in China. I knew it wasn't only the name of a gloriously cheesy 1980's movie, but I'm embarrassed to admit that I didn't know the origin of the place/name.

Good morning everyone, or are you all still planning to turn in for the night? I've been reading for a couple of hours and then decided I might as well get up and start my day, the robins have.

I watched some recap of the muddy derby run. Always Dreaming is a beautiful, dark, young, muscular horse. (Aren't they all? Except for the dark part, I think he was darkest in color).


I'm watching Marco Polo series on Netflix. I like it because of the costumes and I don't mind as much when there is creative license taken with 13th century history as, say, 18th century lol. It's not like we know much about what was really going on back then. It's a great show, very aesthetically interesting. The men's hair style from that era is so strange -- shaved to look like a bald spot, then braided on the sides. Just goes to show that anything and everything has been or will be in fashion at one time or another in human history.

That just made me think about the tribal women who wear rings around their necks to extend them a long way up, or wear plates in their lips to expand them. Whatever your particular culture says is attractive...  So subjective, isn't it?  Still, I wouldn't mind losing a little of this belly I have lol.  I'm not going to go live in a place where they binge feed the girls on whole milk to make them fat and then they're considered more attractive, 

"Late night human cultural musings with AliBoBali..."   Back to Marco Polo.  :)

Gershun, MsMadge won't be kicking anyone but herself tonight so she won't bother you. She must have passed out when she got an estimate from a contractor today.
Just folded my laundry tonight, the drawer is very crowded. Even the kindle has no room. Putting all electronics under the bed.

My dog died many years ago, how did that get under the bed? I am sure it's not chocolate! eeeewwww!
