I returned to the office after lunch and saw that my office had been transformed into a Christmas wonderland!
Merry Christmas!

Post Thanksgiving
It’s been a lovely holiday weekend despite the cold weather. We’ve been able to relax some and take Sydney on several walks. Both she and Pea have had some quality nap time with us.
And, of course, what would the holiday season be without Baileys? We stocked up for the cold winter nights ahead.
Had the pleasure of watching that Bama-Auburn game – quite an ending. After that, every other game feels blah. Was hoping Bama would win ( I dislike OSU). Now, it looks like I’ll be rooting for FSU.
Our women’s basketball team won today at the Junkanoo Jam. This was a needed win and I hope they can use it to jump start a string of good games. We really need to win out before the SEC season begins. Go Gators!
Got some more football to watch.
Ciao.
November Weekend
It’s a slow Saturday. Came home from grocking today and saw our neighbor, Bodhi, napping in his favorite spot.
Last night Sydney spent the evening destroying her favorite purple hippo. We’ve ordered some new toys for her – she’s being weaned from Prozac and needs some more toys to destroy.
And yes, it’s basketball season. Here is a proud mom holding the head of January Miller, a fearless competitor. So, glad she’s a Gator. Come out to next game on Tuesday at 7pm against St. Johns.
And then there’s Peanut. She found the rocks comfortable. Her ears? They’re very expressive and she insisted on flattening them for the photo.
Just finished listening to Steve Russell’s show after the loss to Georgia Southern. I’ve generally supported Will Muschamp being given another year. I must say, though, that I’m concerned whether he can do the job. Although, last year’s team went 11-2, I never felt it was a great team and its shortcomings were exposed in the sugar bowl. This year seemed to be a continuation of that. Despite the team’s woes I do not support booing these players. Remember these are kids out there. Show some civility, Gator fans.
It looks like it just started raining. This one’s gonna bring cold weather. Oh, joy.
Ciao.
A Brief Video
A Frightful Halloween from Mirlisa on Vimeo.
Our annual quest to scare as many children as possible! A special thanks to TNT for loaning their pet, Precious. Happy Halloween!
Posted with BlogsyBoo!
It’s not Halloween unless TNT host their annual Halloween Bash! This year’s hallowed event was held at Rotting Oaks Cemetery in Greater BFA. Hey, redneck, get out of my picture. ( that was for you, Terry)
Our ghoulish hosts, the Count and Countess Dracula, with Braveheart. The missus looks to whisper sweet nothings in his ears….wait, no…eat sweet nothings, apparently…
…And security is so important at these grisly events…this is Precious…nice doggie…Precious likes bones…Precious wants another bone…do you have a bone for Precious?…nice doggie…
Oh, dear, a sweet child…turned to stone and now, alas, will spend eternity holding jack-o-lanterns…so, children, when Grandmama tells you not to open the door to the attic…heed her words…
There was something very odd about the haunted manor…this room in particular…something just wasn’t right….
A harmless little fire to warm us on a cool October evening…who was that rocking in the chair…
Beware the night…and things that go bump….BOO!
Happy Halloween!
It’s Almost Heeeeeeeere!
Our favorite time of year is almost here! Less than a month from the first tip-off on November 8.
Today was our booster club’s annual “tip-off” event to welcome back members and sign up new ones. I had the privilege of posing with our loveliest mascot, Alberta.
Consider joining the Gator Backcourt Club – the official booster club for Florida Women’s Basketball. See our website at www.gatorbackcourtclub.com.
Go Gators!
This and that…
Why an empty trash can? I was thrilled and thankful to see it empty at lunch today. When I left for work this morning it was occupied by an injured opossum. I won’t go into detail about the cause of the injuries…all I can say is thank goodness for Florida Wildlife Care! They are wonderful and we will be donating to this organization…again…they’ve helped us before.
I just had a hankering to snap a pic of this butterfly in the backyard.
We went to St. Augustine to celebrate our anniversary. Here are Mir and Sydney in the center of town.
Okie dokie, it’s getting late and both girls need to wee wee before nite nite, the girls being Pea and Syd, that is.
Ciao.
