Between too much sugar, salt, shopping, tight jeans and snow, I can always use a good laugh this time of year. So I decided to go back to one of my favorite crazy cartoons for a quick hit of nostalgia from 2005.
Who can go wrong with the Madagascar Penguins? Is this a wonderful creative country or what?
Have a safe holiday weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

Enough of the weather! Let’s get onto important things, like romance. Today is Jane Austen’s birthday, she was a truly amazing author. While I’d heard about Jane Austen, I never studied her work in school.
Then the 2005 movie of “Pride and Prejudice” came out. I was hooked for life. The words, the actors, the cinematography, the music; breathtaking.
Besides the scene in the rain, this is my second favorite; the happy ever after. When he walks across the pasture with his coat flying behind him and his shirt collar open, big time swooning commences on my part.
We all need more romance. Fire up the tv, grab a bowl of popcorn and watch Jane Austen tonight.
Happy Quirky Friday! Have a great weekend. Who cares about snow and cold weather when we have Jane Austen?

Feeling a bit squirrely today. Forecast says chance of snow next week and the freak out is on here in normally wet Oregon. We love Mt. Hood to be covered with snow, looks gorgeous right now when we can see it, but snow in the valley makes us nuts.
Folks back East think we’re wussies about it, but with a high water content we get snow/ice. In my opinion the only good uses for ice are hockey rinks, skating and alcoholic beverages, not on roads.
So while the grocery shopping frenzy ramps up for chips, dips and ice cream in the Portland metro area – our preferred snow supplies – let’s check out how our furry friend handles the white stuff.
This little guy reminds me of trying to find my car at the shopping mall. Or has he lost his nuts? Join the crowd little guy!
Have a great weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

The only thing better than Thanksgiving is turkey and pie leftovers. Obviously this well-loved hamster has the same weakness I do for pumpkin pie. Watch this expert chow down on an entire pie; hamster size that is.
Have a great weekend and Happy After Thanksgiving Quirky Friday!

Confession: I bought Christmas bows last night. But they were on sale! Since I saw my first neighborhood Christmas lights ablaze on Veterans Day, I’ve surrendered to the holidays. Figure it’s a grand distraction from everything else and it comes with food. Lots of food.
So in the interest of a holiday public safety announcement, watch this video and learn. Yes, Temptations cat treats are Spec Ops Cat’s favorite. He approved this message.
Stock up now for your furry friends!

The Chicago Cubs won an amazing World Series this week and the Cleveland Indians played their hearts out. Fans lost sleep across the nation, except for the Hawaii folks, but we all had a grand time watching this amazing series.
Which goes to show you miracles do happen and we all can get along. I don’t think it is any coincidence that Election Day is followed closely by Veterans Day. In the military we work as a family, at times dysfunctional but always loyal.
So my fellow voters, if cats and dogs can find love and happiness, so can we. Have a great weekend, vote, and Happy Quirky Friday!
