The BOMB

Welcome to the BOMB.



The Blog Of the "Mother" of Bandit.
Bandit is my Hairless Chinese Crested--he's the "normal" one. I, on the other hand, am unrepentantly "pet-crazy." You know the type--the spinster who lives in the haunted house three blocks over with 72 cats...okay, so I don't have 72 cats, and my house isn't haunted--but my dogs wardrobe is better than mine! Need I say more? :~)
I've never been consistant at journaling, so the timing of my blogs will be sporadic at best. I just hope they are as entertaining to you as they are to me; however, be forewarned: Most of my blogs will be about The BaldOne. In spite of his Don King "do," I think he's just as cute as any of the Brothers B!
Now, if I can just remember not to get him wet--or feed him after midnight...

About Me

My photo
My bags are packed and I'm always ready to seek out an adventure with Bandit and Moggy in tow. Bandit is my thirteen year old Chinese Crested, who I frequently call The Bald One or The BaldOne Boy (like he was one of the Baldwin Brothers). Moggy’s full name is Pip-Moggy. He’s my two year old gansta-resuce kitty. I couldn’t decide between Pip (which are the spots on die and domino tiles) and Moggy (or Moggie when I mistakenly thought he was a she), so I combined the two. Moggy refers to the British term for "cat of unknown parentage .” So in essence, I have an almost bald dog, and I’ve named my cat “Spot.”

Fun Stuff (I'm doing now or have done)

  • Participating in the A to Z Blogging Challenge.
  • Spades and Liverpool Rummy with the Spadetts weekly.
  • The Mighty Texas Dog Walk, Austin (fund raiser for Service Dogs, Inc--they train shelter dogs to be Service Dogs, then give them free of charge to people with disabilities.)

Covid Christmas Miracle

The Christmas Cards have a short notation, are addressed, stamped, and best of all, made it into the mail...BEFORE Christmas!!! 

As a bonus, they were mailed before the Post Office became really busy. In fact, I had my own packaging helper, for the ornaments I made.  Yep, the ornaments made it into the post before Christmas as well. 

I was on a roll. 

Then, I stood in a very short line to pay.  But when I turned around to leave, I saw the line stretched  all the way to the back wall.

Timing is everything.

After unloading my cards and packages at the post office,  I decided to stop by Bell Fine Arts to see what kind of goodies I could get for my last couple gifts. 

I bought a beaded mask holder.  It's purple. And It's for me.  So much for "Elfin'" today. 😷

Next, it was time to head toward That Art Place to repaint the cactus I broke. I painted a new cactus, a couple more ornaments, a Christmas tree, and a gnome--this one is 3D and does not have shoes for me to mistake as mittens. 

Except for the do-over cactus, I'm keeping everything for me.

My  "Elfin' and Selfin'" day quickly turned into a  "Selfin' and reElfin'" day.

I still need to a purchase a couple gifts.  But I have almost a week to find them, so I am ahead of schedule. 😂

Short line at the Post Office, the majority of the gifts found, bought, and in various stages of delivery...all in the year of the Covid Christmas--I'm claiming Christmas Miracle.
