Accounting for the Human, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat. I suppose I should explain my inexcusable absence of late. It's simple, really. It's all Debbi's fault. First it was the yard sale, which was less than a spectacular success to say the least. Then it was the new busi

I'd Rather Be Writing
I've been absent against my preference a lot recently. Remember my big decluttering job that was going to get done nice and leisurely over the winter? Right. Not a lick. So now it's crunch time. I have the first of several household chore appointments to
Focusing on a Bradford Pear
Here in Georgia, we've had some absolutely beautiful sunny days interspersed with cloudy, rainy ones. I have been so enjoying getting out and taking photos on the sunny days of what's blooming so far. The jonquils have come and are going. Just today tiny
Sharing Some Springtime, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat. We've had a lot of beautiful spring days here in between the rainy ones, and Debbi and I have been busy with a lot of photo shoots. It's exhausting work being such a celebrity. I posed for a lot of good shots, but I've spen
Humans Are So Gullible, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat with the latest lame-brained thing my human did. She started out the day spending hours cleaning house. I don't know why. She's just going to get it dirty again. I kept telling her there were more important things to life.
It's a Purrfect Caturday! by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat. It's a purrfect Caturday in the spring, and it's all about me! Yes, I know I was just saying it was winter, and then it was summer, and then it was winter, and now it's spring. All in one week. It's Georgia. Get o
Rain, Rain, Go Away, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, it is me, the waterlogged Guiness the Cat, and I am seriously considering packing up my treats and heading to New Zealand to hang out with my friends Morpheus the Cat and Sylf the Feline Spy. Morph says it is 83 degrees, and he's hanging out in the
Chick-fil-A Freebie for March
It's time for the new offer on the Chick-Fil-A 2015 Calendar Card, which is a free large coffee or free large iced coffee. I rarely drink coffee unless I am either very cold or it is some kind of flavored coffee, so I probably will choose a vanilla&
You Can't Keep a Good Crocus Down
Here in the South, when the tiny little crocus blooms first poke their heads up out of the ground some time in February, it can only mean one thing. It's time to snow. There's Indian summer, and blackberry winter. February is crocus winter. There may

I am NOT Something Else, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat. Debbi got up this morning and told me I was something else. I want to make one thing clear. I am not something else. Debbi is seriously not a morning person. Seriously. Do not expect intelligent brain function from her b
Happy Valentines Day to Two of My Favorite Kitties, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat wishing a very happy Valentine's Day to everyone, but most especially two of my favorite kitties in the world: Mildred the Cat and Freya the Catblog Cat. I could not ask for any two smarter, more beautiful, or more talented
More Freebies
Birthday month continues! I haven't had much time to spend online today, but it's been a pretty profitable afternoon nonetheless. I had a coupon for a free burger from Ruby Tuesday for my birthday. The #coupon expired next Tuesday. We are supposed to get
Two Free Meals, the Tag Office, and a Concert on my Birthday
I had big plans for my birthday, much of it revolving around #free food. I had done some research and scored some #coupons for other places that could be used within 2-4 weeks, but two of the deals had to be on the day with I.D. The plan was to get up ear
22 Random Things About Me
First of all, I want to say the pictured list of Random Facts is NOT mine. Someone else did one and was helpful enough to take a picture of it that I am using. Secondly, I want to thank #oldroadsoncetraveled for giving me this idea for a post. 1. I
I Don't Know Where to Start
It has been a very spotty week for writing. So much has been going on and I now have so many things to write about, I literally don't know where to start! So many distractions to keep me from writing, and they are still coming! Just as I started writing t

Monday Musings, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, this is Guiness the Cat with a few random thoughts. In other words, I had some comments to make, but none of them added up to 500 characters by themselves. I've had a rather boring weekend. First, Debbi spent most of the day Friday and Saturday ho
22 More Random Things About Me
Earlier, I posted 22 random things about me. Here are 22 more, in no particular order except as they occur to me. 1. I was born in Orlando, Florida, but that was before Dumbo and Goofy. 2. I don't remember ever not wanting to be a writer. 3. I n
It Was An Insult to my Fluffiness, by Guiness the Cat
It is me, Guiness the Cat. In case you didn't recognize me from the photos. I didn't pick the photos, by the way. And I did not approve them. That is one downside of not having the patience to upload photos myself, and assigning that chore
The Poop on the Words I Had with Debbi, by Guiness the Cat
Hello, it's me, Guiness the Cat. Debbi and I exchanged some words last night. She started it. She was the one who brought it up. "We need to have a discussion about toilet paper," she said. Personally, I don't see any point in wasting money on toilet p

The Road Before Me This Week
It was a clever title, I told myself, when I took a picture of the road I was unable to see. On Monday. It would make a cute post for a dreary day, I told myself. On Monday. And now, somehow, it is Saturday. I'm not sure how that happened. The entire w
Who is That Man With a Towel on His Head and What are They Doing To Him?
When my Dad was still alive, I took him to #Atlanta to for an outpatient eye surgery. As they were getting ready to release him, the nurse got blood all over his clothes taking out his IV, so she gave him a pair of scrubs to wear home. Once they had him re

My Opinion of the Wendy's Ciabatta Bacon Cheeseburger, by Guiness the Cat
Debbi posted what she thought about the Wendy's Ciabatta Bacon Cheeseburger she brought home for us to eat on Valentine's Day, so I thought I'd give my thoughts about it, too. You can read her review here, if you really care what she thinks. Cheese, brea
Wendy's Ciabatta Bacon Cheeseburger Review
"Ciabatta" anything is not normally something that I would order, but I'm cheap. So during the time #Wendy's was featuring a Ciabatta Bacon Cheeseburger, I had a coupon to get one free with the purchase of a drink and fries, and I decided to try it out. T

How I Chose My Screen Name Old Roads Once Traveled
I've written novels ever since … actually, I have no idea. I can't remember not writing them. I've never actually completed one, but I've started tons. I've always been drawn towards writing a #trek story, and that theme has wormed its way into a n

On the Road to Chattanooga Part 1: Rocky Face Ridge

I Have Ant Damage!
I just had my annual #termite inspection this afternoon, and got some bad news. There is no visible sign of termite damage, but the guy did find where #ants had eaten away some of the wood underneath an improperly installed gutter. I'm going to need to hav

Hello, all, this is Guiness the Cat, and it is a wonderful, wonderful day! The Catblog Cat is here, she's here, she's here! Oh, and her human, &HappyLady , too. Freya the Catblog Cat and I have been friends and colleagues for awhile, now. The Catblog
So, Where Have I Been?
I know I have been scarce recently, but I truly have been insanely busy offline. Remember my grand plan to get at least partially decluttered by Thanksgiving? Didn't happen. That was the plan that rested to a great deal on having a big yard sale before t

Shirley Plantation

It's amazing the little things you pass by a million times and never see. Awhile back, I was playing tourist in my hometown taking pictures for a blog post. The wonderful thing about planning blog posts is that they can focus your attention on things righ
My Non-Review of Ruby Tuesday, by Guiness the Cat Because I Didn't Go
This is Guiness the Cat. I would like to tell you all about the wonderful meal I had at Ruby Tuesday yesterday, but I can't because Debbi didn't take me. Debbi had a very nice meal with tilapia and shrimp and lobster tails. I didn't. Debbi says she real
