Again, By Popular Demand, Way Too Many Bengal Pictures...

There haven't been any Bengals in far too long here on this Blog! I believe firmly, if a women is going to live with five Leopards, she ought to post a few pictures from time to time. So tonight, all Bengals. Not a word about FIT, or how sore I am, or how I got saddened today trying to Roller Blade with the Dog.

That's F2 King Lear the Huge in the Forest Bedroom.

And King Lear the Huge a little closer.

Ok, maybe a word or two about how I got saddened trying to Roller Blade with the Dog. I should have been HAPPY. After all, neither of us was injured. We got out in the sunshine. Lola needed a run, and I had no workout planned. All good things. But I didn't get very far. Total leg Goo. Pain. The Muscles (if there were any) failed. Three years ago, I did that entire trail, albeit without a dog on leash, but now? I can't do it.

And I think that's the hardest thing about getting FIT again, is that it's going to take time. You work as hard as you can, and each time you get a little further, each time you fail, you get up and DO IT THE HECK AGAIN.

And you never never never give up.

But I didn't have any mental reserves. I'm tired. In my body and head. I've been working out, as of today, for three weeks. I had gigs the last two nights. It's all gone.

That's the danger point. How do you keep going when there's nothing there, and you are saddened?

This is Lear's friend, Little Queen Mab. She watches things. And considers them carefully.

Lear is very protective of Mab. He worries for her. Nothing worries Queen Mab. Lear worries less than he used to. He has learned how to believe, and to trust.

This is like some sort of out-take shot from Bengals Illustrated. Like "What the heck? Where's our cue? What's our motivation? We'll be in our dressing room, get some decent crew"

Cats know how to stretch for what they want. And when to relax and when a nap is just exactly what's needed. Mim is also good about pissing on something to make a point. She makes that point. Every time.

F1 Magic and Venus share the Purple Chaise in the Romance Room. Magic let me tickle his tummy for the first time when I came home today. He's a part of us now, tho it took a very long time to get there, it's worth it. Many, many times over.

Here's Magic and the Swam Soup Tureen, which I keep on the floor in the Romance Room since I can't imagine having people over for dinner and bringing out the soup in it. What I really wonder tho about it was who made it, what did they dream of, and what path led them to see that dream thru? You can dream dreams and end up with a Swan Tureen. But if you aren't on that path,if you aren't HERE, you never will be.

See how well I can wax philosophical when I have had very little sleep, and very many workouts? The mind will get there. And so will the body.

I think the answer to how you keep going when there's nothing there is you simply do. You stay on that path. You skate further on that trail every day and you never never never give up.

And at the end, there's Venus. With the Stardust Dress standing gauard in the Romance Room.

Love and Bengals,
Lorraine

What happens with discounts and promotions?

Zazzle offers volume discounts to customers who buy multiples of a given product. Zazzle also runs promotions and offers discounts to encourage customers to spend more money buying your products. We base your royalty payment on the discounted price the customer pays.

So yes, the coupon will reduce the amount we make on posters-- but if it encourages more people to buy posters, or buy several posters, it's worth it. The royalty per item we collect isn't as important as the volume of sales over the long term. So use the coupon and don't worry about it! :)
At 11:51 LihuaEmilyP said...: I like my Star Trek mug and thermos cup best of all. You know me ... second-favorite is the family Red Sox mug.
At 12:13 Jess said...: I have a Far Side one, that one with the frog hanging by its tongue from the undercarriage of a jumbo jet. Was apparently a gift I gave my late grandfather for Christmas one year, though I have no memory of doing so. But I'm very fond of it because of that.
At 16:53 Hellie said...: Goodness what a lot of chatter I've missed! Congrats on great-auntyness Sally! Jess the shop looks wonderful!

Jane, hope there is some good news about your mum and she is on the road to recovery

Lovely pics, was starting to miss the bengals! Sounded like you needed to give yourself a rest Lorraine, your energy amazes me!!

Jumbo mugs are definately the way to go - I need a lot of tea first thing in the morning! Mine has the Empire State Building on it, unfortunately it's not quite as big as the real one!
At 17:25 gaypet said...: I LOVE the photo of the bemused Venus and Mim.
At 17:29 Fluffy said...: I use regular-to-medium-sized mugs for my tea, and just brew a whole pot. I don't drink it fast enough for it to stay hot, so I just top it off regularly (from my well-insulated tea-cozied pot!) and it stays warm. Which sounds disgusting right now, with the weather in Texas.

Speaking of tea cozies, I still have the one I made for Q. It's purple and black with ravens, spiderwebs and bats...
At 17:37 Chantrelle said...: I soooo need a tea cozy!!! Who wants to make me one (i'll pay!) :)
At 18:26 Na said...: Jess, you so rock.

over here our sky has disappeared! there's a big fire over the border in B.C., and the jet stream's blowing it east over much of Alberta. it's like living downwind of Mordor, i reckon.
At 18:57 LihuaEmilyP said...: Bobbee, hot tea works for anywhere, anything, anytime ...
At 19:50 Fluffy said...: Downwind of Mordor. Ooooh. Scary.

Hot tea = Not good now, unless I crank up the A/C some more (and I'm trying to do my part not to blow the grid...)

Robyn, tell me what kind you want. Here's a couple of pics:

The One I Made For Q
At 19:53 Fluffy said...: I like making those things. They keep the tea hot for a long time - at least an hour (warm for two.) And they keep the lid in place while you pour.
At 19:55 Cecily said...: Fluffy, those are painfully adorable. Do you have an Etsy shop? My mom should probably have one of those for her birthday.
At 20:06 Fluffy said...: Nope, no shop. I do make them to order (for charity.) I have mostly given them as gifts or auctioned them off for world gardening.
At 20:17 FabulousLorraine said...: There's a new post up, my dears....
At 20:26 Chantrelle said...: Fluffy - I love the one for Q! Spooky and fiendish ;-) You know my style!

Email me and I can paypal you for one (chantrelle at foodporn dot com)

rock.
