Stupid Cupid

Bubsy: Buckle up, sissy, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. 

Sissy: Oh no! It’s not a bumpy ride for me. It’s a bumpy ride for momma. 

Bubsy: Our mom’s last two work weeks have been more than chaotic…whatever more than chaotic entails that’s what her work week has been. Lots of questions. A load more stress. And of course extra long hours. 

Sissy: Well now that I think about it, it is a bumpy ride for me too….because I refuse to go outside to pee with dad. That’s a mom only task! So I’m having to hold it for longer than usual…a lot longer, as we wait by the window each night anticipating her arrival home for the day. Key word there is “night”, mom has been getting home after it gets dark! 😱 

Bubsy: As there’s an interim staff running the office we don’t see things changing much for mom until March. Anyway, enough about all of mom’s work drama. Moving on to better things like Valentine’s Day! Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. Cupid did us well by bringing us strawberry treats and a toy each. Well, I basically got two toys since sissy wasn’t too thrilled with the toy Cupid brought her. 

Sissy: Stupid Cupid should know I only accept toys that are red and round. Geez! 😒 

Bubsy: Oh pardon Cupid, apparently he wasn’t aware. Since I scored two toys…yours truly, was very happy with Cupid unlike “yours bitterly”.  Hey, that’s a great new nickname for you…”yours bitterly”. I can be “yours truly” and you can be “yours bitterly”. 😆 The bitterly part fits you well. 

Sissy: Excuse me, I am not bitter! I’m just unique. 

Bubsy: Well that’s true! Anyway, this is a BIG week in our neck of the woods. It’s Mardi Gras on Tuesday and our mom is currently in the kitchen working on her King’s cake to take to her work. Let me tell you folks….the two best smells in this state are the baking of a yummy cinnamon filled King’s Cake and smoked brisket.  Today we will be able to smell the King’s Cake cooking in our own house. And tomorrow and again on Tuesday the smell of King’s Cakes will fill the air and drift to our noses as the nearby bakeries bake up King’s Cakes in the coming days. Forget about love being in the air…Mardi Gras smells are in the air. Heavenly! 😋 

Sissy: And we’ll smell the brisket in a few months when the big time bbq season kicks off.

Bubsy: Something else kind of important follows Mardi Gras this week. Three days after Mardi Gras is what, sissy?

Sissy: My bday! Everyone prepare to bow to the Queen come Friday! It’s time to “paw-ty”. We shall see what mom’s theme is for my birthday this year. She’s crazy about themes. 

Bubsy: Maybe it’ll be a Mardi Gras theme? That would be fun and mom could use the same decorations and stuff she’s using with her class on Tuesday for your party. I should warn you though sis. Your bday is on Friday but your party isn’t until Saturday. Grandma and grandpa are coming to celebrate with us on Saturday.  🎉 

Sissy: I know our momma well enough to know I’ll get a mini party on Friday night plus the other party on Saturday. 🧁

Bubsy: I can’t wait for your bday since I’ll score just as much as you! 😆🎉 Well on that fun sentiment, we shall wrap this up and go enjoy our Sunday. Just to let everyone know we are having trouble posting pics on this blog lately, since new AI controls took effect on this particular blogging platform. Our mom is currently looking into other options for our blog. There are many other platforms out there. We are kindly letting our momma shop around for a different platform. So stay tuned we may move to another platform. In the meantime there might be a pic and there might not? This platform is inconsistent on allowing pics lately. Anyway, hope you all enjoy your Mardi Gras! We certainly will! Eat pancakes, King’s Cake, jambalaya, and enjoy the parade. Let the good times roll!  🥁🎉🎺
