~ Dang it ...

... is it Friday already? 

I wasn't prepared for this.

So, I'm going to have to fly by the seat of my pants here and indulge in

.... drum roll please ....

Nancy's Random 5 Friday

 

Oh.  And Gumby Friday (snort!)

 

1.  For the love of all creatures ... big and small ...

Punxsutawney Phil

and Connecticut's own Chuckles

are mere rodents.

They both predicted 6 more weeks of winter.

We got "blessed" with 11 inches of snow yesterday and are expecting

another 1 to 6 inches tomorrow.

Sure...sure.  It looks pretty.

It almost hypnotizes you as you watch all of the little flakes

fall from the sky.

But I'm here to tell you that it sucks!

Especially when you (me) has to shovel it and/or drag the dang snow blower out.

I'm done with winter.

With that said ....

 

2.  Who's up to trying some groundhog stew?

Mmmmm....mmmm.

Lots of protein.

Punx Phil, I'm talking to you.

 

3.  Gumby wanted to go outside to play.

But Miss Procrastination (yup, she's still around)

hasn't knitted him a scarf yet.

So, we decided to watch the snow fall together.
From inside.  Where it's warm.

It was nice for a while but looking out at all of that white stuff

started to give us a headache.

Not to mention how irritating the sound of the plow trucks were.

Don't get me wrong ... they're just doing their job.

But still ... they are my enemy!

 

4.  Gumby insisted on standing by the window for a pose.

He was amazed at how much snow was out there and how cold it looked.

He was grateful that I insisted that we stay inside.

We had new windows put in a few years ago.

Best thing ever!

They're the type that you just pull in to clean.

I'm telling you, I've got the cleanest dang windows in the neighborhood!

It's a pleasure (well, almost) to clean them.

 

5.  Gumby has been trying to get me to try Nutella.

"Nuh-uh" was my response.

Finally, I gave in.  Bought some.

Gumby was so happy.

He couldn't wait to dig in.

I tried it, too.

And you know what?  Dang if it isn't bad!

It's rather tasty! 

What have I been missing?

As you can see....Gumby loves it.  Loves it!

Made a little piglet of himself ... yes, he did!

Which led to giving him a bath.

And then a nap.

 

So....there ya have it.  My randomness and my Gumby-ness!

 

Gotta go!  Gonna get me some Nutella!
