I Truly Wussed Out

Posted on July 12, 2018 by mohawkvalleygirl

I guess yesterday was a true Wuss-out Wednesday, since it is almost 5 a.m. on Thursday as I begin to make my blog post. I can’t even call it a Blogger’s Sick Day, because I manage to post something on those days. These things happen, I suppose. For anybody who thinks I still party heartily enough that I have not yet gone to bed, although it pains me, I must disillusion you. But never mind that. I must make some semblance of a blog post. Since I did not have a Monstrous Monday, I’m going to go with some monster pictures.

He is probably having tea.

I am having my morning cup of coffee, and I am feeling rather monstrous. I just imagine I will feel less so after coffee.

George Zucco is marvelously theatrical.

I share The Mad Monster poster, because I am mad at myself for not making my blog post yesterday, when I was supposed to.

A monster of the natural sort, although this is actually a machine.

I throw in Bruce, the shark from Jaws just because he caught my eye when I was looking through my Media Library. Some may not consider him an authentic monster, since he is technically an animal, but I say Jaws is a monster movie.

“One more thing!”

I end with my favorite, Nosferatu. This has been yet another quite foolish post, but I do not apologize. For one reason, the Thursday post I’ll make later may be even worse.

Running, Errands, Blues… My Scattered Saturday

Posted on July 1, 2018 by mohawkvalleygirl

Well, here’s another non sequitur for us, because I’m making my Saturday post on Sunday morning. Once again, I offer no excuses. As Popeye said, I yam what I yam and that’s all what I yam. I’ll try for a Scattered Saturday post, although, full disclosure: I did not do that much.

We got up extra early, due to insomnia, but I did not feel too ill-used by my body. I was looking forward to going for a long run, which I attempted to do after coffee. The run did not feel as good as I had hoped at first. I wondered if I would make it for 35 minutes, which was my goal (to equal my last longest run and increase it on Sunday). I ran up a pretty good hill, felt even worse, kept going anyways, and eventually got into it. I ended up going for 35 minutes and feeling pretty damn good about myself. Yay me. I feel I am in 5K shape now.

After a shower, my recovery beverage of chocolate milk, and a protein-filled breakfast of a cheese omelet, I wrote some post cards. Steven nicely agreed to walk to the post office with me. It was still pleasantly cool, although hot temperatures were predicted. It felt SO GOOD to walk! I love walking! We passed by the Historic Four Corners, and I mentioned to Steven that I had used pictures of the 1834 Jail and County Courthouse in a recent blog post. He had read the post.

Other errands we ran included a trip to the bank to deposit a check, a visit to Hannaford to purchase coffee, a graduation card, and a gift bag. Back home, I took a nap, because of getting up so early. Then I had to put on a mini fashion show for Steven. The reason for the show was that I had to figure out what to wear to a cousin’s graduation party we wanted to attend. After two or three changes of heart as well as shirt, my decision was made.

To get to the party, we had to drive to Rome to catch a ride with Mom and Dad to Baldwinsville. It is always nice to spend a little time with my parents. Additionally, they played blues music in the car on the ride. I love the blues!

It was a very enjoyable Saturday. I only feel bad that I waited till Sunday morning to make this post. However, these things happen and we must make the best of them. I hope you’ll all tune in later, when I make my Wrist to Forehead Sunday post.

Words, Work, What to Do?

Posted on June 29, 2018 by mohawkvalleygirl

So I did not make my Non-Sequitur Thursday post on Thursday. Judge me if you like, I shall not explain, because explanations are tiresome. I am sitting at my laptop with coffee at 4:30 in the morning (which is actually a normal time for me to be out of bed on a workday), and I’m going to type a few words and hit publish. Then on to my last day of work before two weeks off, yes.

Here is a Freudian typo: when I went to put “workday” just now, my fingers first typed “word.” Since I want to be a writer (technically I am a writer, but I dream of finishing longer things than blog posts and murder mysteries), I find that appropriate. Next Freudian typo: I typed “wend” instead of “went.” This implies that I am wending my way through this post. Quite appropriate for a Non-Sequitur Thursday.

“Ah, about that…”

I thought I would throw in a picture of Nosferatu, just because. On the one hand, I feel that makes this more of a non-sequitur post. On the other hand, if you actually say you are making a non-sequitur, I think it makes it less of a non-sequitur. And now I veer into half-baked philosophy, the purview (I love that word, purview) of Lame Post Friday. And since it is, in fact, actually Friday, now I am veering back into sequitur territory. What is a blogger to do?

Which is not the same thing as “I saw what you did there.”

When in doubt, throw in another picture. I loves me some William Castle.

Incidentally, this is what I felt like yesterday, when I missed posting.

I just grabbed the next picture I saw in my Media Library (“Media Library” should be said in snooty tones), because I want to finish this up. I am over 300 words, which is a little long for a foolish post, especially a late one. If only I could think of a silly headline, my life would be perfect. Late Happy Thursday and Early Happy Friday, folks!

A Little More Thanksgiving

Posted on November 24, 2017 by mohawkvalleygirl

Let’s pretend it’s still Thursday, shall we? I know some of us are still lounging around, enjoying our turkey (or other) hangovers. I just said that because I thought it would sound cool. I have the opposite of a hangover, thank heaven, because my headache is currently in abeyance, knock wood.

So I thought I’d share a few pictures of Steven’s and my Thanksgiving decorations, while they’re still up.

Aren’t they cute?

This is on the table behind our couch.

He’s my favorite.

We rarely use our dining room table for eating.

The snowman, regular readers may recall, was part of our Halloween decor, when he pretended to be a ghost. The Christmas you water bottles were birthday presents.

You can’t see it, but this is our buffett

The skeletons demonstrate once again our propensity for making Halloween last all year.

We don’t do a lot of shots in those shot glasses; it is merely a fun collection.

Our kitchen window also changes with the seasons. I can’t believe the fall garland is still with us and in such good shape. We bought it for a Bad Taste Party we held back in the 1990’s.

One of my better impulse purchases.

I’ve probably shared a picture of this fellow before. I purchased him earlier in the fall, when he gave me that cute smile in the produce department of Hannaford. And that makes me remember a few more scarecrows we own that I did not include a picture of. My bad! However, I want to get this published, because it is late as it is (also my bad). Perhaps I can show those decorations later, and make Thanksgiving last a little longer. Christmas can wait!
