My World and Welcome to It!

In her Share Your World Challenge, Cee asks questions and we answer. I don’t usually do it because I reveal so much of my world in my blog that it doesn’t seem necessary, but I was so intrigued by the picture of the monkey that she used in the prompt this time  that I decided to answer her questions this week. (I gave a link to that money picture at the end of this post, by the way.  You must see it.)

Here are this week’s questions:

  1. You win a pet monkey but this isn’t just any old monkey. It can do one trick for you whenever you want from getting a pop out of the fridge to washing your hair. What would be the trick?
  2. What caring thing are you going to do for yourself today?
  3. What color do you feel most comfortable wearing?
  4. Complete this sentence:  When I travel I love to….

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

If I were to win a trick monkey, the trick I would love to have it do is to have it house train itself to use the potty so I could let it roam free without worrying about having to clean up after it.  Such a boring, practical answer, that I’m going to give another one as well.  I think I would train it to sit on the backs of my dogs and remove fleas from their coats.  The very expensive formula I applied seemed not to work, so perhaps the monkey could be a system of earth-friendly flea removal!!

The caring thing I did for myself today was to make a smoothie out of homegrown papaya, organic blueberries, 1/2 of a frozen banana, mango juice, lactose free skim milk and ice.  It was delicious.  Ooops.  I forgot the bran.  Well, tomorrow.

I most often wear black, but I love wearing vivid green and hot rose/pink as well.  I can’t wear subtle colors like white, tan, gray or pastels.

When I travel I love to have no set agenda.  I like to wander, both down roads and through the day, not knowing what will come next.  I like to stop whenever my curiosity is piqued and stay for as long as I wish without meeting a schedule.

I am grateful that our fundraisers raised enough money to send a music student from San Juan Cosala to music camp in Huntsville, Alabama.  Within the next few days I look forward to starting the fund drive for our summer camp for kids in our pueblo.

I’m also grateful for Yolanda, who comes to help me out three times a  week and who today found all my extra hangers, which had mysteriously migrated  to my upstairs casita!!

Now, go HERE to see that monkey!  You won’t be sorry.

    Judy, your dogs must cost a fortune. We have just one cat, Springbucket, and he’s as much a member of the family as any of us. But so far this year alone he has cost over $400 in vet’s bills just for regular maintenance. Don’t think a monkey would help though. 🙂 Anton

      No… Just think of the breakage alone. I had a friend who had to come out of retirement and go back to the states to work because she could afford to live on her retirement but her 7 dogs and 7 cats couldn’t!

    If you think dogs can make a mess, a monkey — a very smart creature with HANDS — can wreak complete chaos. Oh, and they climb, so NOTHING is safe. I have seen the results of monkey mess. I would never ever have such a creature in my home. The thought fills me with terror.

    There are new flea and tick collars available from the Vet. I just got one each for the scotties and by god, I have not seen a flea or a tick. They are expensive, but they last 8 months and are waterproof. I feel so relieved because not only do those fleas and ticks bite the dogs, they also come in and bite US.

    This is SYW world …. so the monkey is self sufficient and takes care of himself and any cleaning that needs to be done, but he doesn’t mess anything. I like your idea of a flea finder. We’d travel well together.
