Note: For a supposed primitive people compared to us modern folks, the Egyptians sure know how to carve a Cat Goddess in her kitty form.

Yowls! What a day the Kougaress had, my lovely sleek Felines... finally she was able to get out and about to get the needed stuff done, since it was melty warm enough and the fog had abated some... okay, driving on a wing and prayer because the gravel roads are nasty slippery, she made it to the highway and made her exhausting rounds in town, including having to shop at her least favorite place, Wal-Mart for a certain type of heater... meowsa about zombie land... wow, are folks none too happy these days... and who can blame them... certainly not this Big Cat! ... given our worlds are falling apart in so many bad ways... so, hours later, after loading down the van... and geez, oh please, are some folks sensitive these days about how much moi purchases... such as, that’s a lot of chips in a voice that suggested this Big Cat was hoarding all the chips available... well, not to mention it wasn’t chips, but natural cheese puffs... and two bags for two people for the next month, or longer, doesn’t seem like cheese puff hoarding... and, if moi hadn’t stocked up, then she and her loved ones would have been in a world of hurt since we’ve been snowed in and fogged in for so long... omygosh, if the gravel road had been slippery before, on this Big Cat’s return trip, it had turned downright dangerous! ...it’s a good thing moi has always possessed good driving reflexes and skills, overall, or she wouldn’t have made it to the home lair... not to mention divine assistance was most probably given... thank you purrs... but then! Another hit-where-you-live disaster since the Kougaress was already utterly spent... the side van door wouldn’t open... given that’s where moi put the ice cream, it was a damn disaster... so instead of unloading at a pace that would allow for some recovery time... nope... believe you me, this Big Cat was on her last legs when she finally managed to unload the freezer stuff... roars of pain and frustration, 2010 ain’t looking so hot, that is, in a good way... although, her aunt had sent some chocolates... yum!

X-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...
Part 387 ~
Sylva flamed delectably inside. Not to mention the man had definitely ignited her sexy-pulsing pussy parts. Slowly, she nibbled on another strawberry, her gaze playing the temptress with her cowboy husband. He popped slices of fresh papaya into his mouth, eyeing her as if she was his seductress sent straight from heaven. At least, that’s how she felt. Sylva smiled languidly and leaned forward once she’d eaten the last juicy bit of her strawberry. “Anything else you’d like to taste, cowboy?” she crooned in her most sensual voice. “That is, if you could taste me.” Sylva hesitated, feeling a bit shy.
Zeke raged like lightning, especially his stud parts. “There’s lots on you, darlin’ mine, I’d like a long slow taste of.” Easing himself onto one elbow, he lazily roved his gaze up and down her torso, covered by the deep rose robe. The creamy bountiful swells of her breasts were an invitation he accepted. “Why don’t you mosey on over her and sit that beautiful little body of yours right here on my lap. I think my tongue would like a samplin’ of your strawberry nipples.” Downright enjoying the blush that turned his wife’s gorgeous face pink, Zeke patted his thigh.

Yay!! You broke free of the fog and got out for the essentials. :)
A stranger actually commented on your purchasing of cheese puffs?
geez, that is when I would love to pull out my MYOB-mind your own business post-it note and attach it to their forehead. LOL
Eye candy you say...weeeelll the thought of a certain highlander for Valentines day, does give this kitty a shiver! ;)
Serena, I've noticed a creep toward folks being worried about how much I purchase at a time, as if I'm hoarding food. Usually when I explain I have to stock up because I live out in the country, they understand. But still, I find it rather alarming.
What happened to the days of having a pantry of foods for emergencies?
The Highlander for Valentine's Day... well, that would put me in ecstasy. I dunno about the rest of the visitors, though...
