Mackgurl's Musings

Sometimes you may get tired and fed up. I mean come on, life has a way of testing you…and I mean way worse than any pop quiz you might have had. Sometimes the test starts small. Broke a nail after a fresh manicure? Hit your shin on the corner of the bed? (ouch). Then maybe it ramps up to you dropping your brand new cell phone face down on the pavement…while trying to put on the screen protector. Ugh! That sucks, right? Then there are household bills...sure you have some, right?  Yeah, they eat away a good chunk of your paycheck but you’re managing. Then a major appliance dies…then some shingles fall off your roof.. Sucks but ok. It seems like one thing after another after another. Sigh... but somehow you’re standing strong and making do, holding on. And then…car issues start happening…flat tires, brakes need replacing and then transmission blows! What?!! But you’ve got to be strong right? You’re an adult and you can and have to deal with these things. You can manage, right? Yeah? So w

  Ah the joys of nature, of the wild...Nature is so beautiful and picturesque. All the animals just running about playing and having a good time right? At least that's what you've been told, lead to believe, right? So those stories or those cartoons where the animals are like gangs or just mean must be just made up? Pure fiction, right? WRONG! They are true! Some of us animals are just plain mean! So mean it would make you humans blush, smh... Don't believe me? Ok well this is a picture of me last year Don't I look cute? But even more than that, don't I look happy, care-free? Not a care or a worry in the world. Ahh, those were the days. I didn't realize how good I had it Roaming freely, playing with friends, chilling by the lake. Eating and drinking  - you know ust living the dream. Well, that dream became a nightmare when THEY showed up UGH.  Some new kids moved in and yeah ok at first it was fun. They were the cool ones - had been on the otherside of the lake.

Hola... Sigh - I'm writing to you today from jail, prison, lock up, the slammer, the clink...ok so you may know it by any of these names. For me, I call it... THE CAGE. It's where you get sent when you do ba- err stuff the people would rather you not to do...and get caught (smile). The severity of the infraction or the recurrence of such infractions determines your sentence length.  Hmm, guess that's how it works for people, too eh? Except for one key diferencia... I don't get a lawyer or a trial. Nope. No jury of my peers. Guilty and...  THE CAGE. Mi Mug Shot So what was the charge this time? Well, mi gente already know how much I like to eat. My food, your food, people food, whatever. As long as it's food and I like it, I want to eat it. Side-note: There's nothing better than people food 😛 So, mi persona gave me something he called a candy cane. Have you had this? Aye Dios Mio!It was sooooooo good! First, he let me sample it. He told me not to bite it but a

  Hello, blogoverse! How's everyone doing? Great, I hope :) Me? I'm doing great! So nice of you to ask (smile) With all that's going on in the world today, I'm always on the lookout for, well a distraction. Just something that might take my thoughts on a journey or better yet, make me laugh. Heck - why not both at the same time?! Annnnd you already know about my imagination, right? (see past post for reference)  Any who, I was in the store the other day looking around at hunting and fishing stuff (yep, ya gurl has been fishing...hunting? Not so much, yet?) So I'm walking down the aisle looking at stuff for hunting and fishing - typical nature activity kinda things and then I look up and see an alien. Ok maybe not an alien actually it kinda made me think of a snake or insect. Hybrid? But this was no regular degular hybrid alien-insect-snake...Nah, this one had swag, attitude even. Don't believe me? Check this out... Look at him! It's like I walked by and he l

Hey! So the other day I was out and about (yep, that's still a thing) and happened to see this: And of course, it got me thinking, hmm, wonder what that was about? Lots of thoughts came to mind but then I keyed in on this one thought - maybe it was too heavy to carry around, so they left it there... I mean, bags/baggage can be and often is quite heavy. Big or small, we normally find ourselves adding so many items into the bag, most of the stuff we add we don't even use (like that extra 4 bottles of hand sanitizer, 6 bottles of water, etc rolling around in your bag right now) Next thing you know that bag is weighing us down. And that weight? That weight can keep us from moving forward - from progressing  towards future successes.  All that extra stuff that you've chosen to carry around does its job of dragging you down into a place that seems almost impossible to emerge from. And don't even get me started on what carrying all that baggage into a new relationship can do.

  Hola! I'm not going to ask you that silly ques-okay so I AM going to ask... Did you miss your Oscar favorito? Claro! How could you not? Have you been enjoying the summer? It's been soooooo hot but I don't mind, usually - except for the times when I'm thirsty. Like the otra day. I was outside enjoying some time in the sun -  mi familia was outside making delicious meat treats on the cooking box. And of course they had to share some with their precious Oscar:). Ohh they were sooooo good! They made sure I had plenty all to myself! Little while later, mi familia got too hot so they went into the casa. Well, it was very hot...even I was a bit warm so I went in, too. I thought I'd go get a drink of water to cool down. Besides, all those delicious meat treats made me thirsty. So I go into the room to get mi agua. As I'm walking to my bowl, I notice mi familia laying on the comfy chair drinking icy cold drinks. This made me even MORE thirsty so now I'm RUNNING to
