Humor and Blood

Posted on by

Am talking with my mother-in-law on the phone:

Jen: A little white paw kept coming out and scratching me this morning, drawing blood.
M-I-L: Ah yes… the weapons of mouse destruction.

At least these WMD’s can be found!

(Said cat with WMD’s got her little claws trimmed today as did her sister and one of her brothers. The other brother will go for my jungular vein if I trim his claws so his only get trimmed when Jon and I are not exhausted. siblings. I waited until my bengal was in a sleepy mood before gently lifting his paws and giving him a feline pedicure.)

Fun with Christmas Carols

Posted on by

I’m stealing this idea from Ellen:

Below are 10 lines from 2nd/3rd/4th verses of Christmas carols as well as some that are kind of not so well known. The first one to give me all 10 wins a prize!

01.) When with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold
02.) And thus that manger poor became a throne; for he whom Mary bore was God the Son.
03.) The sky shall groan and darken, and every stone shall cry.
04.) Come adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn king!
05.) And offered there in his presence their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
06.) He hath opened heaven’s door and man is blessÃ?d evermore.
07.) For this how wondrously he wrought! A maiden, in her lowly place…
08.) Within my heart, that it may be a quiet chamber kept for thee.
09.) We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps.
10.) He comes to make his blessings flow far as the curse is found.

Have fun!
