My Photo
Midland, Texas, United States
My name rhymes with "Lisa," I live in Midland, Texas, because it's warm and the mortgage is cheap, and of course this is my natural hair color. Of course! The EGE--The Ever-Gorgeous Earl--is my husband of 35 years. I have the best job in the world because I get to call up artists and ask them nosy questions and then write about them. I also stitch, podcast, blog, and then, in my spare time, do it all some more.

Another Video Featuring—Woohoo: Candy the Squirrel!

I don’t know if she’s building a nest or is just offended by my voodoo dolls, but she’s been disemboweling the one in the tree. Here she’s just beginning to realize that she can’t get me to give her a pecan if her mouth is full of voodoo doll guts. As soon as I turned off the camera, she used her paws to pull out the stuffing and toss it on the ground so she could beg more effectively. Like that’s ever been a problem for her.

You might be able to see some hair mixed in with the batting—Juliana Coles sent a bunch of her hair for me to use on these dolls.

these stories of Candy (and her suitor) are hilarious.

I left you something on my blog if you have a chance to look :)

Oh, this is just too cute. I love these little critters. I bet she was driving the cats MENTAL.

Here in Oz, our possums are cute, but they're just not as manic as squirrels. Thanks for sharing these lovely videos! Love hearing your voice. It makes reading the blog even better!
