Good Morning Snowshine

12:28 update: Yay, it's raining!



Let's look on the bright side shall we. It's not likely that anyone will be seeing their shadow tomorrow.

Fruitcake... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I. Do. Not. Like. Fruitcake!

But then, who does?

It surprises me that there is still a viable market for fruitcake. A Google search brings up about 207,000 hits for fruitcake, and not one of the hits on the first page is negative. In fact one of the links is the pro-fruitcake Society for the Protection and Preservation of Fruitcake.

Sigh

I was perusing the newest videos at Will It Blend when I found this one:


[Will It Blend? - Holiday Hassles]


The fruitcake makes quite the mess.

This video is actually just a glorified ad for Bill Me Later and its subsite Operation Fruitcake

Operation Fruitcake doesn't have a lot of material yet, but it looks promising. Only 3 videos up so far. I like this one:

[Operation Fruitcake - Incinerator]


Just out of curiosity I Googled I hate fruitcake and came up with 266,000 hits. However on closer inspection there seems to be a lot of sites along the line of fruitcake for people who hate fruitcake

Here is a genuine fruitcake hater - bless him!

The I Hate Fruitcake Hate Page

While conducting my in-depth reserch for this post I ran across the videos of Marie Rudisill, "Ask the Fruitcake Lady" from the Tonight Show.

I had forgotten about her videos. Here's a classic:

[This LADY loved CAKE and FRUIT]


And to finish, an anti-fruitcake classic:

[Grandma's Killer Fruitcake]


And btw. A YouTube search for fruitcake gets you 694 results.

Happy Valentines

Hope it's happy & sweet!

So Where Are You!?

Haven’t had anything new to say lately, so here is a quickie until I have something :->

Here is the Bratster right before Christmas. Isn't she graceful?



And here is her Santa picture. Yes I'm obsessed, why do you ask?



Here is our tree, small but cute.



And finally, I got this really super pig model for Christmas (thanks Marc & Andrea!)



Not a great picture, this is what it really looks like:



And it goes like stink!

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hallowiener Walk

Very, very late post....

Went on a wiener walk for Hallowe'en. Lots of wieners, lots of treats.

Brat went as a dragon. Some people thought she was a dinosaur, that works too. Meet Bratasaurus Rex:




This is our neighbour (and Brat's best friend) Daisy:



There were a few non wieners too:



Awwwwww:



Of course we had games. This is musical hoops:



And guess what tired pooch won best costume?
