FFR’s Wiley Weekly Word: Dalliance

A leisurely meow to all you cats out there. I do plan on writing great feline words of wisdom a little more frequently, but as a superior being you can’t possibly begin to understand the great pressures weighing on our time.  As of late, the least of which has been healing my two-legger from her spring time dalliance.  But why am I explaining this to you?   You’re just a mere two-legger and on that note, back to our tutelage…

So this week’s word:  Dalliance

Dalliance: The silly, totally frivolous and often trifling activities that two-leggers get up to in the Spring and Summer, most of the time with amorous intentions in mind.

‘My two-legger is usually quite an intelligent creature (well as far as two-leggers go), but when this involves dalliance I have to close my eyes and ears to avoid witnessing the disaster that ensues. Does she not understand as a female (the superior sex, of course) that she should lay back and let the male two-legger perform the dalliance? They do after all seem to enjoy the chase. And then she’d end up with less egg on her face when its all said and done.’

One alley cat that is often doing acts of dalliance to catch my eye.

Not Such A Sexy Evening

One of the challenges with being sexy in van city is reminding yourself your still sexy during the most unsexiest of moments.  Having grown up as an accident prone tomboy with a compulsive habit of chewing on my fingernails, I have had more than my share of such moments.  Perhaps this why it took me to reaching my 30s before truly embracing my sexiness.  For many other women, their 20s were their sexiest time as after marrying and having kids, they’ve forgotten that they are sexy beings and begun to think of themselves as a two-legged milk machine. This is Lola’s battle, she’s as sexy as all get out, but after her second child is having trouble remembering just that.

Today I also had one of those days. It started well – got a full nights sleep for once & enjoyed a great day of work.  Struggled with a bit of diarrhea in the afternoon, but wasn’t about to let a runny little thing like that ruin my day.  It was upon arriving home that the day went awry – starting with now burning diarrhea, followed by seriously slicing my hand open with a cheese knife (a cheese knife of all things & it’s still bleeding 6 hours later – I probably should have had it stitched).  The rush of blood everywhere caused me to get woozy and pass out for an hour and a half, at which point I woke up with a still burning bum (actually contemplating ointment), feeling woozy and to find that now it hurts to swallow.  As I started snorting and coughing up sputum (my fancy vocab for phlegm), I climbed in the bath and then into my pjs for a wee bit of comfort and am now curled up on the couch with a gals best friend, her cute, little pussy cat.

So why am I telling you this story?  It clearly isn’t sexy.  I’m telling it, because we all have our non-sexy moments, but it is so important to not allow those moments to override the fact that we are all sexy beings. Sexiness is a state of mind & it is a state of being that can be so empowering and make us feel so wonderful.  I joke about taking scandalous dance classes with Glam Cat, but the truth is those classes are so empowering and have been instrumental in my embracing my sexiness.  And luckily as I feel like crap tonight, I have my guardian kitty, Princess Fuzzywiggle Furrypants, looking after me and letting me know I’m loved.  That and a bottle of brandy that one of the latest wooers left in the kitchen.  So hot lemon honeys with brandy it is!

Night all you sexy things and don’t ever forget that you’re sexy,
