Sticky Note Fun With Livvy

Mrs. Mecomber — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 13:36:00 +0000

Most of the time I tolerate Livvy’s antics pretty well. She has this very bad habit of climbing up on my desk and planting her big Siamese butt in front of my monitor. She then presses her wet nose on the screen– or even licks it!– so the monitor is speckled with slimy cat snot. *gag* Before I moved my keyboard into a keyboard desk tray, she’d lounge on the keyboard, too. If I was frittering away my time on the computer, that’d be one thing. But I work from home! I have scads of articles to write, and all she wants is ATTENTION! Who does she think she is, Cleopatra??

Well, I had a little fun with Livvy yesterday. Yeah, I was a bit stir-crazy. Looks like it was contagious.

She can be such a pain sometimes, but isn’t she adorable?!

I am not sick of the snow, just the ice dams in the house. But this picture is hilarious, no?

Thanks to Alice and Fish with Trish.

More Interesting Mailboxes

Not everyone can have a Bobi mailbox, you know. Bobi mailboxes are very cool— very sleek, classy boxes that can be hung on the side of the wall, or inserted into the ground as a stand-up box. They are best for urban areas (they’d get blown over or smothered with snow from our monster Upstate New York snowplows), but they are very classy contemporary mailboxes that are as functional as they are pretty.

But.. it’s pretty obvious that not everyone can have a classy mailbox. Since my husband is a part-time rural carrier for the post office, we are more sensitive than most to mailboxes. And some of the styles and sizes of mailboxes are… well, not so hot. Here are some of the wackiest mailboxes I have found on the Internet.

Don’t know what to do with your yard junk? Heck, weld it all together and throw it up front for the mailman to wrangle with!

I wonder why these folks can’t afford to get a nice mailbox…

Will the mailman dare open this for a nice surprise?

OK, where the heck is the door on this thing?!

:-p Bad taste. Most mailmen would cringe to use this one, but I dare say I know a few who probably wouldn’t mind…

This is actually kind of cool. Creepy, but very unique.

So, you thinking about getting one of those classy Bobi mailboxes by now? LOL.

Interpreting the Mysterious Cat

Found on LOL cats. LOL!!

In other news: we’ve been wildly busy. I’ll have an update soon. We’re trying to complete the walls so that we can install cabinets on Sunday. It’s a very ambitious goal, I’m not sure we’ll make it! More to come…

Remuddler Reminders

I love to look at remuddling projects. I like to see how ~~insane~~ ingenious and inventive people can be. Plus, it gives me great satisfaction that my rickety old 1855 house isn’t half as bad. Even though we have no electricity for half the house and leaky plumbing and pockmarks and holes in the plaster deserving of some serious best acne treatment or something….

This is strangely like my wiring…
