Lazy Humans Attempt to Redeem Themselves

Hello.

Lazy Human here.

I know. There's no excuse is there?

Miss Zoe really said it all on Monday. We are lazy. We don't deserve anything nice.

We certainly don't deserve to share Space and Breath with Things as Cute as the Cats and Rabbit who live here in the Lilypad.

But, then, we do share those things, so Someone is going to have to get over it.

I'm not mentioning any specific names there. I'm just saying...Someone.

Anyhow, since there was a severe lack of Rabbit Cinematic Events last week, we decided to double up this week and give you a feature today.

Just a little something to brighten up your Wednesday.

Just a little Rabbit to make it all better.

There there. That's better, isn't it?

I thought so.

Lazy Humans Officially Redeemed.

Well, sort of.

Lazy Humans for Whom There is No Excuse

It seems that -- yet again -- Everything is Left to the Rabbit.

Sigh.

I'm not sure what these humans would do without me. Luckily, my salad is still being delivered on time daily.

Wait. That's a stretch. My Secondary Mama, whom you know as the Blisschick, seems to have returned from her YogaDance Teacher Training without something -- her brain!

She not only has delivered my salad totally late at least twice, but she forgot to supply overnight cat crunch for my cat friend, Lilly. That's not a tragedy -- the cat food -- considering what pigs they are, but my salad? MY SALAD!?!

That's the thing. Secondary Mama was gone for a week and seems to be having a hard time with all the dance steps or something. I mean, I'm a Rabbit for god's sake, I can't possibly know what is going on with her.

Whatever is going on with Secondary Mama has also, apparently, spread to Primary Mama. No Rabbit Movie last week and now me, the Rabbit, writing the blog!?

I think we are in need of some sort of intervention, but how much can one, small Rabbit do when her only helpers are Feline?

Again...sigh.

If you have any suggestions as to how I might deal with these two lazy, out-of-it humans, please let me know.

But why am I asking you!? YOU are also human.

I am surrounded by ineptitude.

WHERE IS THAT RABBIT??

Is that what you're asking yourself?

"Where's that Rabbit?" you're thinking. Maybe you even said it out loud to your Cat. Or, your Dog. Or, to Your Very Own Rabbit.

Don't you worry your long, fuzzy ears. She's back.

And by back, I obviously mean.. back.

She is not that interested in you. But that's OK.

What matters is your interest in Her.

She can feel it.

You see, the Blisschick came home and there's been excitement and busyosity and going back to work after 9 days off, and on, and on, and on. So much catching up to do.

So, we missed blogging for a couple of days. Do you want to make something of it?

Look out your window. Miss Zoe is waiting for you outside. You don't want it to come to that do you?

I didn't think so.

So, instead, why not just check out this painting I made for the Blisschick while she was away:



Written on it is this piece of a poem by Rumi:

My head is bursting with the JOY of the unknown.
My heart is EXPANDING a thousand fold.
Every cell, taking wings, FLIES about the world.

JOY EXPANDING FLIES.

Cool, huh?

That Rumi. Always so cool.

"Like a Rabbit," said Miss Zoe. "Mr. Rumi was cool like Me."

SO very true.

Cool like a Rabbit.

That's something we can all work toward.

Finally!! Flip Friday!!!

And, I say FINALLY FLIP FRIDAY meaning-- FINALLY it's FRIDAY!!!!

That means, of course, the long-awaited return of the Blissful Chick who also lives here.

YAY!!

And just when Miss Lilly was beginning to warm up to me, too.

Oh, well.

So, in honor of the Chick's return, here are two videos.

First, the "After" of the kitchen movies. You are getting to see it before the Chick!!! Do you feel privileged or what??

As it turns out, the narration is totally boring. Sorry. I tried to get a Certain Rabbit to help with that, but She was uncooperative.

Imagine that!!!

And, speaking of feeling privileged, here's your Rabbit Movie for the Week.

Watch at Your Own Risk: It could be Too Cute to be good for you!!

If you're reading these words, I'm hoping that means you've lived through the Cuteness.

Good show.

Have a good weekend!!

The "Before" of the "After"

So, the week is going OK.

Cats and Rabbit and I are still pretty darn lonely without The Blisschick here.

"Excuse me? Did you say we are doing OK? Because I'm finding the Bunny Monitoring to be a little lax to say the least. Humph!"

I'm going to ignore that. She LOVES Her cat. Don't let her fool you.

It's weird to be in a house where I am the only Human.

It's also strangely quiet around here.

Oh, the cats do their share of talking. That's for sure.

Miss Zoe has been pretty quiet (until the above comment, anyhow!). Though she did thump at the noisy crew with noisy trucks that was resurfacing our street on Monday. It takes a lot to make her thump, though now the street is smooth, so it may have been worth One Thump.

(Perhaps that could be a new form of measurement. A smooth road may be worth One Thump. What might be worth Two?)

Anyhow, as promised Zoe and I would like to share some video from the kitchen painting project.

I wanted to post "Before" and "After" all in one day. But it is so dark and gloomy here today that it's hard to see the new wall colors very well in the videos I tried to take.

So today, I'll show you the "Before." Watching it made me giggle. The narration I did totally makes it sound like I'm on a home makeover show. Except, I am not a Trained Narration Professional, and that fact is Very apparent.

You'll have to wait until Friday for the "After."

Waiting for it will be worth Two Thumps.

Though, I'm not sure if that's a good thing. Hmmmmm.....

Ode to the Lonely

It's heeee---re.

My week alone.

Without the Blisschick. No Blisschick. None. Nada. Zilch.

She is gonzo.

[Sigh.]

The Blisschick, as you probably know, is off to Yoga Dance Training at the Kripalu Yoga Center in Massachusetts.

I've been trying hard to tell myself, "Self, this will be FUN!! You can think of it like a retreat of sorts. The house to yourself, the Mammals to yourself. Think of it as FUN!!"

It's not working. Not completely totally. Not yet.

Once I acclimate to the bizarro absence of the Chick, I'm pretty sure I will have an OK time of it. I have a whole list of projects to work on and things to do. That's not a problem.

Here's my list:

1. Pet cats
2. Play with cats
3. Write
4. Paint on some canvases (which I have to specify, due to #5)
5. Paint some walls-- the kitchen, the living room, a couple of doors, and also a table, and maybe some chairs. (Whew! #5 was a big one. I should have split that up!)
6. Read
7. Write a million emails to the Blisschick
8. Remember to feed myself

"Ahem....and, don't forget..."

Oh, right.

Miss Zoe.

There's no way I'll forget the Rabbit. Or, forget to feed the Rabbit, or forget to fluff the Rabbit's hay with fresh hay. Or, forget to snuggle the Rabbit. Or forget to play with the Rabbit. Nor will I forget to clean the Rabbit's Rabbit Box, give Her a banana chip each day before 7 AM, and Her salad every day before 2 PM.

The Rabbit gets her own separate and distinct list! An All-Rabbit-Related List.

Also due to #5, Wednesday will probably work out to be a bit of a before and after post.

Who doesn't LOVE before and after?!?

On Monday, before the painting prep begins, I will take a before kitchen movie. On Wednesday, I will take an after kitchen movie. It may be a later-in-the-day post, FYI. I have to wait until it's light to shoot the movie, after all.

FYI, Miss Zoe has not offered to help with any of the projects listed. The cats haven't offered, either, though Miss Lilly offered to "supervise" what ever that means.

Supervising? You call that supervising?

So, here I go into the abyss of Blisschicklessness. Wish me luck on my (lonely, lonely) journey.

Flip Friday

Oh, I know.

This is why you come here.

To see the Rabbit Movies.

I get it. Really-- I understand. I like to watch them, too.

Miss Zoe lives here. I watch her all the time in person. And yet, I still like (or, maybe love is a better word) to watch Her Rabbit Movies.

She's simply Magical.

Sigh.

Go ahead. Sigh with me.

Are you ready, then?

Here you go. Here is your Rabbit Infusion:

Zoe: The Movie from marcy hall on Vimeo.

Was that good? Are you set until next week?

Remember, you can watch it as many times as you need to. Miss Zoe is always here for you.

That's just the kind of Thoughtful, Big-Hearted Rabbit she is.
