Quirky Fridays

Snow, Pink Flamingos and the Olympics!

February 7, 2014 By Kimberly A. Cook 3 Comments

I’m not the biggest fan of snow. Serving with the Army at Fort Carson, Colorado for three years pulling guard duty, post guard, camping in the snow; high altitude combined with winter is flippin cold. I’m really a beach girl, like Maui, at heart. Yesterday we had a snow storm and more snow is coming tonight and this weekend.

So while I managed to make it home from the day job in my trusty Subaru, being warm and cozy at home is a favorite pastime when the weather gets crazy. This morning I was taking pics of my bird bath with the heater (birdie spa) with a ring of snow around the edge and the reflection of the sun against the pink flamingos beneath it. Brought to mind one of my favorite movies, “Rio.” Love the soundtrack and just found out there will be a “Rio 2.” Life is good!

Since this is the movie music I play while I am writing these days, thought you might like a little Brazil break in the middle of winter. So watch the trailer for the original before “Rio 2” comes out. Happy Quirky Friday!

P.S. Really nice of the Olympics to start so I have something to watch on tv this snowmageddon weekend! Go USA!

Super Bowl Spoiler Alert: Puppy Love!

Gearing up for the big event on Sunday; Super Bowl commercials that is. Was going to highlight one of my favorite Budweiser commercials and then this new one popped up on YouTube for this Sunday! I adore it! So if you want to wait until Sunday, don’t watch. But if you want to find out if Clydesdales can jump, check it out!

Remember the Kitten Bowl at noon on Sunday on the Hallmark Channel before the big game. I’ve got the snacks and French onion dip, so we’re ready for the couch potato extravaganza! Happy Quirky Friday!

Quirky Friday rolls around again and it’s time for that never-ending war – cats vs. dogs. When it comes to furniture, cats know what they like – everything. These poor puppies are getting lessons in who really does the comfy bed testing in today’s homes. Enjoy your weekend and go cats!

Can You Move Like A Rabbit?

January 10, 2014 By Kimberly A. Cook 2 Comments

While many of us are still digesting/munching on our leftover New Year’s Day snacks, these highly trained athletes show us what it’s like to be in shape. I don’t know why I love these agility courses, but I do. Especially the rabbits who cheat!

So whether you can get up out of your chair or off the couch at all, look to these bona fide competitors to show us how to work off our holiday weight gain. Happy Quirky Friday!

Are You Ready For Some Gobble Games?

November 22, 2013 By Kimberly A. Cook 2 Comments

This video clip makes me laugh every time. Have no clue what the turkeys outside the car are saying, but the one inside the car is too funny to watch. With Thanksgiving fast approaching, what better activity than cross-species communication!

Have a great weekend and make sure to get all the fixin’s for a good Turkey Day holiday with friends or family or both. When my buddy visiting from Australia experienced Thanksgiving for the first time she declared it her new favorite holiday! Happy Quirky Friday!
