Let’s Celebrate

Bubsy: Well I scored. I scored BIG! I have been currently enjoying a nice birthday celebrating weekend. I could hardly wait for Friday night to arrive so I could open my gifts. And boy, I knew when gift opening time was. I was also very aware it was MY bday. 🎉 

Sissy: It’s all about him this weekend. I’m just here for the sideshow.

Bubsy: You are my very special sidekick, sissy. However, wouldn’t the people that read this like to know if you have been extra nice to me on my bday weekend?….

Sissy: I’m always nice…except for those few moments of the day I remind you how sassy I am. 

Bubsy: Sissy and her sass! She got an overdose of sass. She was letting mom have it this morning. Now going back to my bday celebration…as you can see from the pics it is a Team USA Olympic theme.

Sissy: Of course it is! The very obvious theme to go with. Notice the gifts are even Team USA colors. 😉…you can blame or give credit to mom for making sure that detail was achieved. 

Bubsy: Are you enjoying the Olympics so far?

Sissy: Yes, I am. Big thumbs down to the opening ceremonies but I’m starting to get over that fiasco. I’m looking forward to more gymnastics tonight. 

Bubsy: I was just about to ask you what your favorite has been thus far. 

Sissy: The synchronized diving was cool last night. But yeah, I enjoy the gymnastics..,just like mom. Mom loves the rowing, the cycling and equestrian events too. 

Bubsy: And do you know why she loves those events?

Sissy: Nope, not a clue. 

Bubsy: The rowing, cycling, and equestrian events are outside and she can get glimpses of Paris while watching those events. 😉

Sissy: And what about dad? What is his favorite? I don’t know.

Bubsy: None of it, this week. He’ll be happier next week when it’s the track & field events. Although, he of course enjoys the tennis. 

Sissy: The most interesting thing about these Olympics is mom's schedule. Will she be able to tear herself away from the Olympic coverage to go to bed early? 

Bubsy: I predict some late night’s for her over the next two weeks. Anyway, time to wrap this up so we can go have lunch. Hope everyone enjoys a good week and hope the Paris Olympics can get better and better. Go Team USA! 🇺🇸 

Got Gasoline?

Bubsy: What a week…what a week! Houston…we have a problem.

Sissy: We can’t catch a break. But Houston has it worse than us. We are currently dealing with the leftover rain from yet another hurricane. My hair is letting everyone know that this hurricane arrived with plenty of humidity. 

Bubsy: My hair is even affected by this humidity. So sissy, how is the power grid…Sissy is the resident power grid expert. 😉

Sissy: Failure! Epic failure again. It was barely fixed…or so they said it was fixed and then boom another hurricane arrived. My new advice is forget buying flashlights…get a generator that runs on gas. 

Bubsy: Wait a minute sissy, are you sure that’s a good idea?

Sissy: Oh how could I forget the great drama of our week. Mom needed gas and the city was running out of it. Then some idiot pushed the wrong button and knocked out service to most every gas station in our city. How in the world does that happen? 

Bubsy: Mom thankfully made it thru the work week but was literally riding on fumes to get home from work on Friday. Then dad took her car to go try to find a gas station with some gas. Price gauging was at a maximum for stations that had not yet run out. Most expensive gas dad has had to buy in a VERY long time. 

Sissy: It’s now of course, Sunday and some gas stations are still closed. I tell ya, we can’t catch a break. And rumor has it if Biden wins reelection Texas will separate from the United States. Are you kidding me? We can’t keep the lights on and we can’t fill our gas tanks and gas cans. We are screwed if we break away from the US. 

Bubsy: Don’t worry sissy…Biden will not win reelection. Because he dropped out of the race today. History was made in a big way. 

Sissy: So now who is running?

Bubsy: No clue. I have limited knowledge on most things political. 😉

Sissy: Probably Newsome. 🙄 He seems crazy enough to be chosen. 

Bubsy: Look at sissy…so political. 😆

Sissy: Not really. But I listen to a few names here and there. 

Bubsy: Let’s talk about what today is…it’s National Ice Cream day.🍦Yum! 

Sissy: I know mom has ice cream in the freezer for us. So we better get some or else I’ll let her know it’s not acceptable to deprive us of ice cream on national ice cream day. 

Bubsy: Well if we don’t get ice cream today, we’ll get it soon. This coming Friday the entire world will celebrate as I celebrate my bday. And we’ll get ice cream for my bday. I’m sure of it. 😉

Sissy: Oh please, the whole world? The whole world is not celebrating your bday. 🌎 

Bubsy: Yes, they are. They are celebrating because it’s the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics. Hmm, I wonder what the theme of my party will be. 😉 Lol, my mom has had the theme planned for a year now. 

Sissy: The way I see it…there’s two possible themes for your bday. We shall see which one mom actually choses. She could go with the most obvious theme or she could go with a theme that matches a certain country. 🇫🇷 

Bubsy: Hmm, such a mystery. Either way, mom has been ready for weeks. She bought the decorations weeks ago. No matter what, I stand ready to eat ice cream and get new toys! I love toys! Let’s  wrap this up and go have a late lunch with our parents, sissy. 

Sissy: I like the late lunch idea. Have a good week, everyone. And remember to eat ice cream today. 🍦🍨 Below is this week’s pic in our ice cream cone bandanas. Made me hungry to wear this bandana. 😋 

Got Bread?

Bubsy: We finally got a bread pic done. Good for us and good for mom! Congrats to our momma, as of the 10th she has been the sole provider in our household for one full year. Don't think anyone saw that one coming. 😉 

Sissy: Nope, I didn’t see it coming. But good for mom to be winning the bread for the last year. Girl power! 

Bubsy: Let’s see…what else has been going on? It’s Bastille Day, sissy. Happy Bastille day, eat something French today.

Sissy: If I was offered something French I would certainly eat it. 😋 I hear great things about French fries, French cheeses and their breads and desserts. So please….someone offer me an eclair today. 

Bubsy: In other news, we got groomed. That was an ordeal yesterday. 

Sissy: The timing of it all was quite the ordeal…our grooming appointment with our momma got interrupted by some idiot in Pennsylvania trying to take out the former president. 😤

Bubsy: By the time the interruption was over and we got back to grooming we weren’t done being groomed until our dinner time. 

Sissy: Which means dinner was delayed. Which means I had this look on my face about the delayed situation….🤨

Bubsy: I sure am glad I got groomed just in time for the heatwave that is coming our way. You are sporting one of your barely noticeable haircuts again. Are you sure mom even trimmed you? 

Sissy: You got a haircut. I however, insisted on mom just giving me a trim up. And I majorly questioned mom’s thought process on trimming my Grinch feet up so much when Christmas in July is approaching. 

Bubsy: Nobody celebrates Christmas in July. It’s just a dumb marketing thing for retail stores. 

Sissy: So I guess I shouldn’t expect a gift on the 25th? 🎁 

Bubsy: Nope, not the 25th. But you’ll get something on the 26th! When yours truly marks a special occasion. 🥳 

Sissy: Finally, putting up with being your little sissy these last several months will pay off. 😉

Bubsy: Well sissy, let’s wrap this up. Mom probably needs our help cutting out more things for her class.  Our momma is doing an entire week on Desert Discoveries. She has been very busy cutting out cactus shapes. She’s even crafted a few cactus and made 2 painted desert scenes. 🌵 

Sissy: Rumor has it mom should be good teaching about desert dwellings since she came from the desert. 🏜️ 

Bubsy: Not a rumor…it’s a fact. Mom was a Zonie. Anyway, hope everyone has a good week and stays safe. And may our country try to become more united like sissy and I, instead of being so divided. Sending some furry love to all. ❤️ 

Game On

Bubsy: Game on or party on, which is it sissy?

Sissy: It’s both! 

Bubsy: It’s daddy’s birthday weekend. And we have been busy partying. The party started yesterday afternoon but the guests didn’t go home until about 30 minutes ago.

Sissy: It was an all nighter. 😉

Bubsy: Our mom has been very busy trying to provide extra meals and entertainment for the guests that stayed overnight.

Sissy: I think she’s done okay because whatever mom made for lunch was a huge hit. And mercy me, it smelled amazing! I wanted a few bites. After all I had to smell it cooking since 8:30 this morning. 

Bubsy: I was right there with ya, I wanted a few bites too. It has been a pretty fun weekend. But now it’s time to chill a bit before dinner and the evening routine that will inevitably land my little tail in bed while it’s still light outside. 

Sissy: It was a gamer themed party for dad. Because let’s face it dad is still a big kid that spends tons of time gaming.🎮

Bubsy: Safe to say dad scored big for this bday, he also got a new laptop and Xbox bucks. 

Sissy: He’s living the dream! 😉 

Bubsy: Well, apparently we will end this a little early today because our mom wants to bathe us. Plus, we should be kind to mom, she’s worked hard this weekend. She needs to relax some after our baths. Have an amazing week! 

Sissy: Wait…wait….wait, as of tomorrow mom has been winning the bread for an entire year. Girl power, way to go mom to be supporting all of us for this last year. 💪 Below is just a pic of Bubsy because I do not balance on stools and hold weird objects in my mouth like my big bro. 😉
