The Laundry Letters

Dear Self,

While choosing my outfit for the day, I found it imperative to wash laundry soon as I tried on several outfits that didnt work due to the missing pieces in the dirty laundry. I ask you please do laundry soon before you resort to frumpy homeschooler jumpers.

Sincerely,

Moriah

Dear Moriah,

I can understand your dilemma. I ask that you NOT resort to frumpy jumpers. I will run in terror if you do so. Please do laundry as soon as possible. And after you run it through the washer and dryer, please please please, put it awat so we can avert another crisis such as this.

Cordially,

Self

Dear Self,

Does that include hanging up things in the closet? If so, those frumpy jumpers sound great for the sake of simplicity and comfort. Am I also to clean my room? Please respond so I know the answer to that pressing question.

Sincerely,

Moriah

Dear Moriah,

Why do you blog about such matters? Why arent you doing your laundry? Yes you need to hang things up! As I said, if I catch you wearing frumpy jumpers, I will run in terror, and then where would you be? Go do that laundry or so help me, you're fired!

Cordially,

Self

Dear Self,

Yes, Ma'am! I will go do so right away! I apologize for my laziness. I humbly ask that you forgive me. As I finish my reply to you, I shall go do my laundry immediately. Please forgive such an atrocious mistake!

Sincerely,

Moriah

Dear Moriah,

Thank you! Thank you for starting a load of laundry! You will have no regrets! I thank you for taking the time to listen to my advice and follow through with it. I ask that you listen to the rest of my advice tomorrow. Have a wonderful evening!

Cordially,

Self

Throwback Tuesday: Harriet Beecher Stowe

An amazing lady who wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin and was a very active abolitionist. She wrote more than 20 books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of articles and letters. She was influential both for her writings and her public stands on social issues of the day. (Via Wikipedia)

This picture was taken in the gardens of the Seward Mansion. William Henry Seward was also an abolitionist. 

Wacky Wednesday: My Cat Sully (Sulllivan)

This is our cat Sullivan, Sully for short, of the Gilbert and Sullivan fame. (Gillie is not in theses pics).

All of these odd actions are normal for him.

HE LOVES DRESS-UP!

Crazy cat, I know.

See what else our loving, CRAZY, cats do! A letter to my dear ANNOYING cat!

Speaking of annoying cats, he is on my lap, and sounds like a boat motor.

Hmmmm, must have gotten himself into trouble.....

:~D

A letter to my dear, ANNOYING CAT!

Dear Ansel,

Nothing like waking up at 5 something to hear a cat's LOUD purr in your ear!

It sounded like a motor boat!

Purrooom-Purrooom

Good grief Ansel, SOME people like sleeping without a boat in their bed.

 Please refrain from bouncing the bed so hard you jolt me awake for an hour.

And PLEASE refrain from purring so loud!

I need ear plugs!

I love you my goofy, sometimes grouchy cat, but waking me up at 5 something for an hour is NOT an option.

I had every right to toss you out of the room. 

And you deserved.

When you get this letter, please don't growl like a bear. (Which I am sure you will, because you like to growl at EVERYTHING!)

I love you, furry Ansel.

Love your Human, Moriah

P.S. DON"T WAKE ME UP TONIGHT!!!!


*No sermon Sunday, but I was able to help out a friend.

*No munchie Monday, but I was able to help out my sisters. (Unless I think of something.....)
