That freaking no good for nothing messed up evil elf is an … is an… is an.. how do I say it.. okay I gotta say it – a$$hole. No really he is. There is no way to sugar coat it.
I’m on Door Watch 2016 last night. Everyone else is in bed. I’m determined to bring some kind of cheeriness to the Hotel Thompson this year – free of that misfit Evil Elf on the Shelf that lives here called Don Juan. He is just totally messed up. I think he fell on his pointed head too many times at the North Pole.
So there I was in the front room on patrol. I hear some movement from the Elf Door. I go closer to give it a good sniff. The odor is there – you know the peppermint, pine and eggnog smell. I know he’s in there. If I move just the right way, I can see a light inside of the hole. So I wiggled down, moving slightly to the left – to the right – up a bit. That’s when I saw it. That little evil elf knew I was there. How do I know? I took the picture below to show you. Now you believe me? A$$hole.

Welcome my friends to our weekly issue of Journey with Friends. This is a time that we come together for support, for encouragement, for fellowship – all with one single goal in mind – to live better. Welcome to our journey to share our goals and our accomplishments and our disappointments and frustrations.
Together we can do this!
Hello friends – how did you do last week? I had my doctors appointment Friday afternoon. While most things went great and the doctor was greatly impressed with most of my blood work, there were some things that concerned her. Therefore, I had more blood work done after my appointment. Hopefully, I will have those results back this week and we can discuss what is going on. Personally, I think my rheumatoid arthritis is getting worse. It feels like it is these days. I’ll let you know once I find out something.
Other than that, we got our last items purchased this past weekend for Christmas. The end of this week, we will begin the wrapping, bagging, boxing and torture of bringing things to the post office. This will be interesting for sure.
How is your shopping coming along? How was your week? Any plans this week? I know this is the holiday week and I can tell you that I might not be walking a straight line with some food…. I feel some pies coming along – 🙂

Today is a great day my friends. Today I bring you “False Confession Day”. Today, we encourage false confessions of any kind. It should be fun to see how many things we can falsely confess to. I got Bacon and his mom to play the game today. They are both going to tell you three things each. One of the three statements is true with the other two being false. Can you pick them out correctly? Be sure to share on your blog and make some false confessions of your own 🙂
BACON’s Statements
- I love kumquats.
- I have bitten Hemi (one of the purr things here at the Hotel Thompson).
- I know how to work my remote control for my television.
Bacon’s MOM’s Statements
- Mom knows how to shoot a gun and she’s pretty good at it.
- Mom drives a Hummer.
- Mom has no sense of humor.
