My Friend Mitch

Quick updates today!

*********lalalalalala*********

I went to MomandDad’s to see the Golden Child and his family last night. That will be the subject of tomorrow’s post. There’s plenty of rolling of eyes involved. Snort.

*********lalalalalala*********

The people who decided that they had to have pictures of my house? Haven’t been back. So I can’t ask them “WTF dudes?”

*********lalalalalala*********

No neighbor saga updates. Must be boring in the summer. The Husband and The Wife seem to both be around - taking care of the boys, but they’re never there together. And there’s been no sign of Not The Husband since school let out. Check back in September! (Of course, if there’s any developments, I’ll let you know immediately!)

*********lalalalalala*********

Now, before I head down to dinner, and spend some time catching up with y’all’s blogs (No time…I missed all the BlogHer recaps even!), here’s a little poem I wrote while I was waiting for the interminable meeting to end.

I have a little groundhog,
living in my ditch.
He’s short and fat and wobbly,
I think I’ll name him Mitch.

He runs up to my front porch,
bravely coming near.
Sniffing the air all around him -
Mitch seems to show no fear.

Silly little Mitchell,
watching him is fun,
But what he really doesn’t know -
I’m not the only one.

There are some others here,
interested as well,
they sniff the air and watch real close,
no telling what they smell.

Mitchell must have sensed it.
These two want to play.
He raises up his tiny face,
then scampers fast away.

—- And y’all? Will you all please come to my house so I can hug you and kiss you and ply you with wine and chocolate (or beer and chips) and take complete advantage of you? Because the response to yesterday’s Wordless Wednesday was entirely unexpected and will warm my Hotfessional heart forever. I thank you so very, very much. —-

    maybe they went past your house and thought YES, THAT IS WHAT I WANT and took pictures so they could show a real estate agent? but it’s still creepy? I dunno.

    I can’t wait to hear about the “Golden Child” evening. I have the feeling I’ll be snorting and eye rolling here too.

    My Squeaky Kitty LOVES to sit in the window, watching . . . everything. Especially the birds. And the squirrels.

    We had a groundhog in our yard once. He was living under our back deck, and was digging holes around our foundation, and was starting to cause some damage. Dear Hubby tried everything he could to trap the darned thing, with no luck. Groundhog is gone now. He was beautiful, and fun to watch, but - - good riddance . . .

    OK - how about you have my friend Mitch and I borrow your friend Mitch the ground hog. I’d much rather deal with a ground hog right now than deal with my friend’s party issues *LOL* j/k

    The meeting was that crazy long, huh?

    Hmmm…I *think* that Ground Hogs are classified as overgrown rodents, so maybe your cats are feeling ten foot tall and bulletproof! LOL

    But you deserve all the warmness that comes your way!!!

  18. melissaon 25 Jul 2008 at 9:45 pm

    You have to send those cats outside to have their way with Mitch. Seriously.

    I’d come over without chips and chocolate:)

    Well you get a hall pass straight to heaven when you “go”. Strained family situations are the WORST.
    Congratulations! It’s over and you can put another notch in your belt.
