Witty & Wise Ties, Trivia & Lies
I dress by the Law O’ Clash, but Bow Tie o’ the Day and I are currently blending in with our outside environment. You can hardly find me in this photo, cuz I did so well dressing in white camouflage. I cause snow blindness. Yellow/gold Bow Tie adds the ultimate secret ingredient to my camo. Its color blends me in with the occasional spots o’ yellow snow Skitter and the other neighborhood pups leave behind on their daily missions. Am I a snow angel, or what?! 👼
Bow Tie o’ the Day is brought to you by my lovely, tuxedo-ed penguin pal. One of the few things I like about erranding in the snow is that I get to wear my loud Sloggers boots. Ok, so they’re gardening boots. But they’re warm AND stylish. Who doesn’t want to see cows on pink boots? I was visiting Delta a while back and I forgot to take my church/funeral shoes, to attend church. I had only my purple, dog-print Sloggers. That was a fun meeting! 👟 ⛪
Floppy Kentucky Bow Tie o’ the Day persuaded me to at least change into a fresh pair of sleepwear this evening. I couldn’t wear ‘Links o’ the Day, cuz I haven’t yet found pajama sleeves with cufflink buttonholes. I’m showing you these ‘links to hint about what I’ve been doing. Mostly, I’ve worked my little iPhone to its bare chips and bytes, by answering emails, texts, and calls. This way, I can pretend I accomplished tasks from my honey-do list, on a Pajama Day. 📱 📞
Bow Tie o’ the Day is covered in sorta kinda snowflake-looking flowers. Bow Tie declared a Pajama Day, and I’m not arguing. Although I’m not a fan of participating in any outdoor activity when it’s cold, I admit it’s thrilling to watch snow fall. Bow Tie and I sit in front of our tall windows, and we feel all dreamy, optimistic, and mellow. FYI This photo proves I felt obligated to create this post before I took time to get rid of my eye booger. I’m dedicated.
This evening’s Tie o’ the Day brings us a hip golfer. I don’t have a tidbit or tale to tell about it. I simply haven’t felt up to snuff all day, and I haven’t got the oomph to write even a small guffaw in this post. But I still wanted to grace you with a second, lush Tie o’ the Day to gaze upon. I’m sure I’ll be back to sarcasm and snark tomorrow. ☹️
That moment when– although you’ve gussied up in Bow Tie o’ the Day and your pimp vest and a gorgeous Bugatchi shirt and an ear-warming hat to go to Walmart– you realize you’re one of those People of Walmart, who belongs on the website of the same name, to be mocked. And then… that next moment, when you realize that first moment was just plain foolishness. Of course, you’re not one of THEM. You’re one of the Great, Infinite Us. You’re you. 🤡 There really is no THEM.
Wearing Ties o’ the Day does not cease at the neck for me. My ties know no borders. No need for a Tie Wall for me, so neck-ed footwear joins us in this evening’s display o’ ties. Mustache mutt’s showing off a red, skinny bow tie. Sunglasses mutt’s wearing a teal, butterfly bow tie. It’s amazing how comfortable a couple of bow ties on your feet feel. My feet feel as if they are walking on bow-shaped air! But to me, all air is tie/bow tie-shaped, anyway. 👟 👒 🎀 🤵🏻 😉
Skitter’s Tie o’ the Day is adamant about Skitter’s plans for today. Yes, Skitter communicates through ties, just like I do. She throws one on only occasionally, but when she dons one, we stand at attention. Recently, she discovered PINK PANTHER cartoons, and she is addicted. We’ll be binge-watching the pink critter all day. Can heading out to the movies to see BLACK PANTHER be far behind? Fortunately, Skitter is wiry and quiet, so I can easily sneak her into the theater in my back pocket. 📀 📺 📽
We went to get our taxes done and filed, and I left home wearing Bow Tie o’ the Day. How did things turn out? Well, I left the H & R Block office wearing this Tie o’ the Day and the barrel it shows. Nah, it really did work out just fine, and we aren’t going to have to sell any spare limbs or organs. Like I said this morning, the list of what my tiny taxes build, create, preserve, plan, etc. is endless. I’m thankful. 📄 ✒ 💰
Bow Tie o’ the Day is going with us to H & R Block to do our taxes this morning. I’m fine paying my city, county, state, and federal taxes. There is no way my measly taxes alone could pay for what I use. I get schools, roads, bridges, cops, firefighters, troops, safe water (and the infrastructure that brings it into my house), campgrounds, wildlife management, libraries, garbage/recycling services, recreation complexes/fields, and thousands more etc.’s. I’m damn grateful. But yes, sometimes I still catch myself bitching about paying. 💸
