I saw this when I was watching The View this morning and thought about sharing it here and then, there it was right in my mailbox when I logged on! Thanks 5 cats!
If you need a laugh today this is for you. The little girl is awesome, and even funnier is the other two have no idea what they are supposed to be doing. And they seem SHOCKED at the drama coming from the middle one. At the end the prima donna’s patience runs out with the clueless.
So cute.
What’s on your agenda for today? Because it is my birthday month, I am trying to motivate to go to Popeyes and get some fried chicken and mashed potatoes. I really don’t want to drive that far, but I haven’t had fried chicken in AGES and I have a craving.
Happy Birthday month, TT! Popeyes sounds yummy. You deserve it!
Happy Birthday Month! Cheers!
Happy Birthday Month TT…..now go and get that Popeyes chicken and enjoy!
Happy Birthday Month! That little girl was precious, she had attitude and seemed like she knew the words to the song. Loved it!!
I think half of my family has birthdays in this month. I don’t want to know what is happening in November. Turn the heat up and stop doing that thing that causes babies to happen.
November? Hmm? Thanksgiving! Which is the aphrodisiac, though? The turkey, stuffing, cranberries, or all that damn pumpkin? June birthdays are the best. If you’re a school aged kid, you get to celebrate your birthday AND the end of school! It’s heaven.
Happy Birthday Tamara!
I started my morning with this video. That girl is a STAR! Loved hearing her proud dad cheering for her. I had to show it to my husband because her attitude and showmanship is exactly like our grand daughter when she was that age (she’s 17 now). Her exasperation with the other dancers is hysterical and I loved watching her just take charge. She will be a leader someday.
It’s my birthday month, too. Happy Birthmonth To You!
Happy birthday month TT! Go party like it’s 1999, or 1989, or 1979….oh just do ’em all! Have a good one
Happy birthday Tamara. When I worked in the Louisville area for awhile Popeye’s was the only bright spot. Enjoy.
It’s also my birthday month. June 27. A cancer
Happy bday TT! Hope you fulfill your cravings
That little girl owned it honey. And loved hearing that man cheer her on. She’s a Star.
Happy Birthday month TT
Happy almost birthday, Tamara!!!! <3 <3 <3
Video: Well, I want that little girl for my grand daughter (sideway glance to my daughter).
I had the day off, yesterday. Spent the day on the couch, binging on pizza and House of Cards. Man are the Underwoods fucked up people. Re-watched GoT with the bf. No spoilers….(screams). Watched the premier for RHoOC and thought hard on stealing one of my son's anti-depressant meds.
Starting four days of work at my wonderful laboratory. Continuing my personal battle against anxiety: I am going to start an email log to myself, today, titled–Danger vs Frustration. Will write myself an email when I start feeling anxious and examine the situation. Is it actually dangerous to myself or to patients, or is it just frustrating. I am hoping it will help cool my brain down and bring me to a place where I can problem solve or accept instead of hyperventilating.
Kids, cats, boy friend, parents are all okay at this moment!!! (Knocking on everything).
So relieved I figured out the glitch for my TT emails. I really missed waking up to everyone's comments. Love you all.
Could we just go adopt her as our granddaughter/neice? I keep getting granddogs.
Don’t overthink yourself Lisamia.
Good idea, fivecatsownme!
OMG, GoT had me wondering why I continue to watch it. And tards keep posting spoilers on the imdb page.
I was stepping around spoilers on the net as well. Fortunately for me, I have no idea what anyone’s names are except for Tyrion (the little guy??) Kaleesi (with the dragons) and…Arya or whatever the girl with the sword named needle is called.
I really like GoT but I have no idea what is going on half the time. Mostly because I multitask while watching. The death in the last episode was NOT good. Even though I had no idea who the person was or if the person had been on other episodes.

When I see Lionel Ritchey, I know the tea’s going to be steaming with intense flavor and deliciousness!!…. Thanks, Tamara. And happy birthday, gal!!!!
Oops, I put my comment on the wrong post. Off to cut and paste now!!
Happy Birthday Month, Tamara! Hoping all your birthday wishes come true!
I just finished doing a thousand loads of laundry for my husband to take to North Dakota He’ll be gone about four months. He’s always worked either offshore or out of country so we’re used to that. It’s been a while since he’s been gone this long though.,
I was so ready for a laugh. Thanks for the video. Too good! Enjoy your Popeye’s. Did you get the Flax stuff? Do you like it?
OMG I loved my Flax outfit so much I went and bought a ton more stuff. Everything I could find in my size in the Flax 2011 collection. It will be so great for summer traveling. It’s linen but not the super wrinkly kind. Everything fit great except the pants. They are really blousey in the front. I think I went down a size for the second pair.

Oh, I’m so glad you like it. It sounded so chic with the shirt striped, jacket checked and plain pants! That color is killer…pistachio if memory serves. Wear your new duds in good health…enjoy!
We used to call the creases that linen gets “rich wrinkles”.
The shirt was perfected I ordered another pistachio one but the last one they had in stock was damaged. I could have gone with another style but opted just to go up a size. I haven’t washed anything yet (or worn it) but it may shrink.
I also bought the shirt in a solid color called curry. Should be here in a couple days.

After I got the RHOA tea up I did a bit of gardening and then took Banjo for a walk to stretch my legs. It was like a SAUNA out there and not even 90 degrees. But that is not important.
THE IMPORTANT PART IS THAT WE ALMOST DIED!
Banjo and I have a normal path we walk around the block in one direction due to the proper placement of good drop zones (for poop). The path ends walking behind my house on a path through the school grounds and out the parking lot, back to the ghetto shack.
Lately a stray cat that goes by the street name of Bighead or Football head depending on who is telling, lays in the shady path near the end of our journey.
Today Bighead was ON the path. My back fence and my neighbors back fence are on the left. And another fence that encircles a reservoir on the right. There is not enough room for us to go around Bighead. And Bighead will not be moved.
But I am hot and weary and don’t want to do the whole lap again in reverse. So we forge ahead hoping Bighead will run. Bighead never runs. Banjo eventually starts barking at Bighead and Bighead finds this highly unacceptable. So Bighead arches her back and starts hissing at us while coming straight for us!
So I scream like a little girl and Banjo and I retreat and go back the other way. Because, RABIES. I mean WTF is wrong with this cat?
Bighead just laid right back down on her walkway.
Then we run into a couple going the same way and begged for protection. Yes the giant fat lady and her 80 pound dog were conquered by a stray cat. But ya’ll he was trying to ATTACK US!
By the time we went back Bighead had moved on. And we made safe passage home, narrowly escaping death.

Hilarious!!! You have the best adventures.
Wait, what is Flax? I need some new clothes for my newly (not really) enlarged body. And cats can be dicks. I had this surly beast named Axl that terrorized my mother when she watched him for me when I went on a trip. He’d sprawl out on the middle step leading to the second floor and wouldn’t let her pass. The vet had a sad face sticker attached to his file because he was so mean to them. And poor Banjo. My Miller, the big scary-looking rescue Pit Bull, was harassed by a frog last night and peed on the deck instead of risking passing the frog in the grass.
Ha!
Flax is a linen line by Mojowoman.com
There are some HUGE changes in their line, and I am more conservative colors, neutrals so don’t freak out when you got there and see lots of bright colors. I have bought all my stuff from the 2011 summer (?) collection. There are limited things left and there is no returns on clearance to measure yourself and use the guide.
I bought a three piece (pant, shirt, jacket) on a prayer and then went back and bought more stuff with a smaller pant.
I am five nine and the pants are a bit long, I think because I bought to large of a size. So when in doubt go smaller in the pant (there is a bit of elastic in the back).
Let me know what you get/like. I spent way too much already.

The way to get the cat to move is to pretend you want to be its friend. They HATE that. I got my Flax dress too! I never wear dresses, but going to wear this one.
Tamara if you insist on taking yourself and Banjo walking in dangerous territory where you have the chance of encountering wild animals you need to be prepared lol. Bighead can smell your fear. The best defense is a good offense. You need to invest in a good spray bottle. Fill it with water. One good squirt and Bighead will be hauling ass so fast you won’t be sure he was there to begin with. I believe they think they are related to the wicked witch from Oz and will melt on contact with water.
My anxiety is up today because I’ve been thinking about taking Banjo on a hike in North Georgia. I woke up convinced that we would encounter the bears that are roaming around neighborhoods here, or coyotes which are also everywhere or deer. WHAT WOULD WE DO?
When did I become such a fraidy cat? I literally wake up with worst case scenarios in my head and sit here paralyzed.
Anxiety is such a weird crazy thing. And annoying as fuck.

Ugh anxiety! It paralyzes me too, Tamara–especially the anticipatory kind. My therapist told me once you don’t have to worry about the gun until the bullet is leaving it. Easier said than done.
Stayed home from work today–wasn’t anxiety. Got too angry at my team leader, yesterday, and realized I needed a mental health holiday. I was proud of myself because I did tell her no when she asked me to do something that I did not have time to do. I am done saying yes to those people. All yes does is put a target on my back.
Two more people are quitting next week. We are down to 9 techs on evening shift–we used to have 14. They’ve been quitting on all the shifts. The management is horrible and it’s taking its toll. I can’t quit until and am 65 and can get medicare. Two and a half years. I don’t know how I am going to do it and not have a heart attack. Anyway, today I am cooling my head down.
I just finished the third season of House of Cards. Another show I have to wait for to see what happens next!
Color me a member of the scaredy-cat, anxiety ridden club. Thanks for the review of your flax dress. I ordered mine today and I am soooo excited to get it. It’s “beachcomber” from the 2015 Bold collection. I opted for the grape tattersal color. (Don’t tell Tamara that they are indeed still making them. 🙂 )
Hang in there, Lisamia. Being an ICU nurse put me in the same space you described. Retirement really will come and it’s better than you imagine…even on a pretty strict budget.
Thanks Margarett, needed those words. 🙂 <3
Hilarious, sorry for your trauma. Must say I love Banjo more with every story you share. ☺
Okay Tamara. Next time, take a spray bottle with you. Preferably one that has a long range nozzle. Fill it up with water. Next time you see Bighead, shoot him! Shoot him with the gun! It works. Cats HATE water!
So funny! Yeah we have rabies reported here. So glad you like the FLAX. I just got my first shirt, love it. So happy you mentioned needing clothes. Summer is awful when trying to dress cool. Linen is perfect. I love “rich wrinkles”
I saw her being interviewed on TV & she said she was “spicy”. She’s adorable! TT happy birthday month!! What are you wishing for your birthday??
It’s my Birthday Month too! Geminis rule!
I love Public’s fried chicken! Yum! I’m in town this week I’ll even deliver to the ghe-tto if you’ll pull on a clean pair of yoga pants for a picnic.
So once a month I treat myself to a bacon cheeseburger and fries (I know, I know, not the healthiest option). I usually just go to Whataburger because it’s close by. Today I went to 5 Guys. It was very good, and I enjoyed every bite. Now all I can think about is another burger from 5 Guys. *sigh*
Five guys is great. They make the best fries. Finally got the air conditioning fixed after it broke down on Saturday. The repairman came yesterday, but said he didn’t have the parts he needed. Finally fixed today at 3pm. It was a cross and cranky household at la casa del cinco gatos. Thank goodness we have a window unit in the bedroom.
Happy birthday month TT. Mine was the 28th. Celebrated with a blizzard from DQ.
Happy Birthday Month! Do something fun, special, or just ’cause you want to every day. I’m a Gemini too…celebrate your dual nature.
Fresh cherrie on sale. $3.99/lb. I was going to make clafouti, but ate all of them. Tart and juicy and sweet. I love stone fruit.
I nearly ODed on cherries last year. I am afraid of them this year. Two words ZACHARY TAYLOR.

I read the Zachary Taylor comment and thought, what show is he on…oh wait…I don’t think it was the cherries that did them in. He drank a bunch of water and iced milk with them. The doctors at the time were thinking cholera.
Cherries have been exceptionally good this year. I’ve already had quite a few binges.
I almost killed by self with cherries last season. I am scared to buy any this year! I bought a whole big bag last year and could not for the life of me figure out why I was near death after binging on them for days.

I am sorry you got sick! Maybe they were sprayed with something bad. I can see why you don’t want to eat cherries anymore.
The story behind this little girl is sweet – she and her family are from Knightdale NC. 🙂 Her 3 yo little brother has a disease and has had more than 30 surgeries on his intestines. Her parents are great people and are so excited that Johanna is able to get some (a lot) of extra attention from the video,since a lot of focus has been on her brother.
Why why why did I go on mojowoman.com and look at Flax. Now I have 12 items in my cart, and as soon as I pick up my check from the consignor, I am placing my order. Love the neutrals, and they all look so breezy and cool. Now I just need an armful of stunning gold bangles to look fabulous… 😉
I am obsessed with my Flax stuff. I am not sure if they make it anymore. I have not allowed myself to look past the 2011 clearance. 🙂

Happy Bday month, TT! I hope it’s a great one.
I’ve been working out a lot lately, laying off the booze, and laying low. Summer months are far and few around here so I want to look/feel good.
Happy birth month!! I couldn’t see the video though!! I hope many blessings come your way! Where can we send pics of our tomato plants?
Happy birthday month, TT! I celebrate the entire month, too!
