Kitty Siesta


It seems like the run up to the election has been going on for years. I can't tell you how sick I am of it! Get on with it already.

Someone near here 'vandalized' a Trump poster with some Bush/Quayle stickers. Made me laugh! Does anyone remember Dan Quayle, he was a charming simpleton who always put his foot in his mouth?

Here are a few Quaylisms:

"I have made good judgements in the Past. I have made good judgements in the Future."

"If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure."

"Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child."

"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."

I do remember him fondly....

We have had a hectic Halloween week and although I did not get into costume my daughter and her friend went as Day of the Dead twins with very impressive makeup.


In an ideal world I would love to sleep through the election...maybe that's why I painted a rather blissed out kitty this week...... I swear if there is reincarnation I need to come back as a fat, spoilt ginger cat. That is my spirit animal! Kitty Siesta buy cards, mugs, prints here.

  2. An interesting and unusual blog. Thanks for your visit. I'll be glad when your election is over too. Media and newspapers full of it. I remember Baltimore had a friend there. Fond memories of eating crab in the harbour and deep fried fruit.

  13. This US election does seem to have gone on for ever, with twists and turns along the way. I can understand why you'd want it to be over and your plan to come back as a ginger puss sounds a great one. Love it - thanks for sharing with #PoCoLo
