NOT A MISSED CONNECTION MONDAY – jan. 6

A late night post so I hope you’ve all had a great Monday.  I’ve been napping a lot today. I hope I’m not coming down with something. I keep hearing about an intense flu and another Covid three times as bad as the original Covid. I would like none of those things. Being sick is not how I’m choosing to start out this new year.
This meme is exactly how I’m feeling at the moment.

So. Before I get into my favorite serial killer hunting ground “Missed Connection” posts on Craigslist I thought I’d post a definition of the word connection.

connection noun
something that connects: link

But Mimi, we all know what the word connection means. Hhhhmmm. We may all know but the freaks on Craigslist clearly do not…

SLIM BLONDE WITH TWO YOUNG KIDS WALKING IN FRONT OF THE SALVATION ARMY
On Monday December 30, around 2:15, I was getting something from my car, parked in front of the salvation army shelter on …blah, blah, blah… ave South. You and your little kids walked by and you looked and gave me such a nice smile. I tried to say hi, but my voice was muted. At least I smiled back. Hope to see you again there.
**** Dear author of this posting. She fucking smiled at you. There was no missed connection. Desperate much?
**** Dear Slim Blonde. Find another route to wherever it was you were walking to or from. This guy’s a creeper.

OLDER GENTLEMEN ON THE GREENBELT
Hi we crossed paths a few times, hoping you played on the same team
**** Dear author of this post. Crossing paths is not a missed connection. It’s people out fucking walking passing each other on the trails.
Also, “gentleMEN?” Were you wondering if they all played on the same team or they were the team? How many paths did you cross?

THE GIRL AT THE CO-OP
You were wearing jeans with a red top and shopping in the frozen goods section. You had a blonde female friend with you. You asked me to get a pack of chocolate pretzels from the top shelf for you. We locked eyes and you gave me a big smile and thanked me. It could have been nothing but we should have talked longer and gotten to know each other.
**** Dear clueless fucking author of this post. Miss jeans with the red top was fucking shopping… In a grocery store… Your grocery store… The one you fucking work at! Seriously. She’s just a customer asking for help with something off of the top shelf. She smiled and said thank you because that’s what people do when someone has helped them. This isn’t P. Diddy code for let’s have a freak party in aisle 7 with the baby oil. And “we should have talked longer and gotten to know each other???” Well, the first thing you should know is that women don’t like grocery shopping in general and we ESPECIALLY don’t like it after working all fucking day. So, no, there will be no chit-chat and getting to know each other. Just give her the fucking chocolate pretzels and go play in aisle 7 with your baby oil, Diddy. – Not a missed connection.

Okay, now that I’ve cleared that up hopefully we can get back to those real missed connections via the serial killer hunting grounds of all things Craigslist next Monday.

How was everybody’s day? Anything thrilling and spine-chilling to report? I’m super bummed that we’re not getting any of that snow going across the country.
Are any of you in the middle of it?? Be safe! Don’t shovel heavy snow and don’t go tip-toeing on the ice. It never ends well.

FRIDAY – Friendly fill-ins – jan. 3

Joining in some friendly fill-ins with Four-Legged Furballs & 15andmeowing.
And the fill-ins are…

1. My guideword for 2025 is – balance. Not to be confused with my Word of the Year, Wips.

2. I am counting the days to – I’ll give you a hint.
That’s right, Christmas and the countdown began at midnight on the 26th of Dec. 2024!

3. 2025 is the year that I will – watch my second grandchild graduate!!

4. I need to better organize – here’s another hint… Yessssssssssssssssssssss all of my crafting stuff!


That’s it for my fill-ins but you can fill in the blanks too and share them in the comments. I would love to see what your fill-ins are!

It’s also Feline Friday but since I am deathly allergic to cats and can’t have them, here’s a pic of our newest furry family member. His name is Beau. He’s a little over a year old so still a puppy. He’s a Maltipoo that was gifted to us. He’s super cute, super smart and we just love him to pieces!

Happy Friday, everybody!
Since I’m still recovering from that wild New Year’s Eve party I had in my living room, in my pajamas, toasting my loves with hot cocoa, I think I’ll stay in tonight and just kinda’ chill.

I don’t have any big plans for the weekend either unless it snows and then I’ll be out in it. We’ve had snow in the valley once. It didn’t last long but it was amazing. It was the best snow, packing snow, the kind of snow used for building snowmen, and having snowball fights! I took Beau for a walk in it and he absolutely loved it!  He must’ve gotten the vibe that loving snow is a mandatory prerequisite for being in our family. Seriously, I wish for tons and tons and tons more snow!

Got any snow lovers out there? What about your dogs and cats?
Three days into the New Year, so far so good, yes?
It’s a yes for me and I hope the same is true for all of you too!
