Hanging out with the California girls – Debra Kristi, Debra Eve, Lynn Kelley, August McLaughlin and me. We can’t keep our hands off Thor.
I found Debra Kristi’s blog through her Immortal Mondays where she covers many different types of legends, myths and folklore. I met Debra in person while visiting California. She introduced me to Thor. He has been on a world tour ever since. When she asked if I would like to host her little friend, of course I jumped at the chance. I planned to show the God of Thunder a great time in Colorado!
After Thor arrived, my daughter Courtney introduced him to the village. He didn’t waste any time.
Thor met Roxy.
Kelly could stand-in for Thor if he ever needs a body double.
Thor rocked the Denver Mall on New Year’s Eve.
Thor was a thirsty little man.
Thor really is the God of Thunder!
We took Thor skiing, but I’m not sure he enjoyed the brisk Colorado air.
I hope Thor had a good time. I know we enjoyed every minute with him!
Make sure you check out Debra’s fantastic blog!
If you could be a mythological figure which would you choose?
BTW – tell me how to put those thought bubbles on images, you do it so well!
This is my kind of post! I love having the traveling inanimate and anthropomorphic character in tow. The second most compelling thought I have is how much I would like to BE Thor and traveling with all of you attractive ladies. Cheers to super heroes!
Thank you Michael!
Hahaha! I don’t think Juliet would approve!
It was a fun way to bring attention to a friend’s blog.
I use Picmonkey for the bubbles. Have fun with it!
No, she would definitely NOT approve
Picmonkey here I come
Posseidon – I would be God of the Seas… though Zues is pretty cool, too. I enjoyed reading The Lightning Thief a couple of summers back and enjoyed it. I rented the movie for them and they rolled their eyes until they started watching it and then it was quiet! Have a great day..
The King of the Seas would be a great god to be! It’s funny how kids sometimes have preconceived ideas about things…
I hope you have a wonderful day too!
Great pics with Thor! Hmm, if I could be any mythological figure I think I’d be Athena. She always appealed to me.
Thanks!
Athena rocks! It was fun to host him and he was an easy guest. He didn’t take up a lot of room, he didn’t eat too much and he was easy on the eyes….
Looks like Thor had quite the harem when you were with the California girls.
How could he not have a blast hanging out with you? You took him everywhere! (Good thing, too…gives him more reason to keep Loki in line and away from earthlings)
Hahaha! He was in the midst of some adoring and swooning fair maidens!
We took him everywhere but on the Polar Plunge. We left him home with the Hairy Beast!
Thanks for stopping by Kitt!
Too much fun! Thor had a thor-oughly fabulous time, I see! Your captions are the best. That Thor is going to be exhausted from his time at your house ~ I hope the next stop allows some rest for the poor guy!
He is in on his way to Texas! I think he has a few days to relax before turning on the charm with the next blogger..
Thanks Tameri!
You have been served. So when you get back from the internet Alcatraz of Wisconsin, please visit up.

LOL! Thor is the man!
He is the man! He is on his way to melting the hearts of some fair maidens in Texas…
Thor is my favorite! Glad he had a good time on the adventure!
The beast is adorable, by the way!
Talk about stealing Thor’s thunder! Roxy rules!
Thanks Jean. I think we exhausted him.
I never realised Thor was so Titchy, Susie. At least he can ski though!
That little dude can do it all. …rumble..
Did you hear that?
It just made it over!
He IS all powerful!
Did you see the Thor movie last year? Natalie Portman stole his thunder, no kidding.
I am in WI with no internet! Arghhh!
I would bet that Portman did a great job of squelching the big guy. I’ll have to rent the movie!
I always enjoyed Athena. The gal had some balls.
Looks like Thor enjoyed Colorado. Is this is his first time in cold weather? Or maybe it’s not so cold in CO right now. It’s been positively frigid here in NH. 2 degrees or less every morning for the past week!
That is dang cold. I hope it has warmed up since then. I am visiting in WI and instead of an icebox it is downright balmy at 37 degrees!
Athena ruled! Great choice!
Susie, I’m so pleased that Thor behaved himself while in Colorado. Too bad you don’t have pictures of him dancing Gangham Style with you at New Years!
Thor was dancing with the ladies but they crowded him and all the pictures turned out blurry!
I’m sitting here, spending waaaay too much time thinking about which Mythological figure I’d most like to be. I’ll throw out King Arthur and Apollo and be done with it.
There you go! Eh?
I traveled to WI since I posted this and the accent is already rubbing off.
Those are great choices. They are two really amazing dudes although I will always be partial to Arthur probably because of the movie Camelot. Now I must get back to that cheese platter….
Roxy probably wanted to chew the whiskers off of Thor.
Among other things!
Hey I wanted to let you know that Courtney won a trip to NYC to see The Saturdays a girl band! It’s a pop group and her friend Allie entered her name in the contest. All expenses paid, $1000, back stage passes….I am trying to find a way to slip inside her suitcase!
Wow, that’s great. When is she seeing The Saturdays?
Thursday the 17th I am pretty sure. She is running to Kinkos to have a notary stamp the application so they can send it out. She flies out on Wed and comes home on Friday. Now that’s what I call wild! I asked if they needed a chaperon….but they are 21!
Well, you’re clever … Any idea what the weather will be like on that day? Today was lovely. We have not had a big dump of the white stuff yet.
I hope it holds off while they are there…
Ditto!
Thor rockin’ it in Denver! It looks like he had an amazing time. Thanks for sharing his adventures, Susie.
Thanks for coming by Serena! Yep he wore us out. I think his next stop is Texas!
Despite all the innuendo, he sounds quite proper.
Must be the accent…
He gets away with murder with that accent! Hahaha!
Thanks Guapo!
No doubt Thor will be talking about his time in Colorado for quite some time! Roxy’s face is priceless….hahaha!
I had a really good profile of Courtney showing Roxy Thor, but it was too blurry!
I think we wore him out, for a few days anyway!
Thanks Lisa!
what fun…looks like you had a good time with Thor. since he left Calgary, we’ve had barely any snow. yay for Thor being in the US
Thanks Louise! He did make the most of his trip, but he missed the Polar Plunge. I think he slept in after rocking out New Year’s Eve!
Thor’s journeys are always so exciting. So glad you got to host his hotness this winter.
Patricia Rickrode
w/a Jansen Schmidt
Thanks Patricia!
It was a fun time having his hotness around. I had to take a Polar Plunge to cool myself down….
I’m dying laughing at the adventures of Thor.
Thanks for coming by for a giggle! He is soooo serious!
And so Thor came down and ravished the ravishing maiden. Afterwards, he announced, ‘I am Thor!’
‘Tho am I, but it wath worth it, wathn’t it?’ she responded.
That is so sick and wrong and I LOVE it! I actually had something like that in my head but just couldn’t go there! Hahaha!
Hilarious pictures, Susie. Thor sure is a charmer with fair maidens. Fun post!
Who knew! I would never have introduced him to my daughter had I known….
Thanks Reetta for stopping by!
Hi,
Thor is definitely a ladies man, he knows where to go for warmth.
Great photos,and I loved the captions as well.
Thanks Mags. It was a fun photo project! I would like to say that Thor helped, but he just glared at me with those plastic eyes…
You lot certainly know how to show a god a good time!!
Gee thanks! I hope so! …as clouds gathered and the thunder rumbled……
Don’t let the long blond hair fool ya. The dude’s a thousand if he’s a day. He plays the Good Demi-God but he’s a cad. Cold temps make him stronger. He’s from Scandinavia and Colorado is a perfect place for Viking debauchery. Don’t buy the comic book and movie image. He’s a cad of the first water. Just sayin’.
Hahaha! So he was just complaining about the cold so Courtney would put him back in her jacket….He is a sly devil! Hahaha!
So funny! You are so great with the multimedia! Thanks for the awesome tweet today. How did I miss your “Use Me & Abuse Me” Day? #Duh!
Thanks Renee. I am still learning as I go…:)
When I didn’t see you at UMAAD, I figured you were a busy lady! It is ironic after “talking” to you, but I think I had the most new people ever and they were in a subscribing frenzy!
It’s not too late to click on a few links and say hello. There are some great posts over there!
Awesome! I think it would be fun to be a mythological creature that can fly!
Like Pegusus! Man that would make travel so much easier and you could graze anytime you got hungry!
Thanks Coleen!
Hahaha, loved this, Susie! You guys always have the greatest time and most fun! I do believe I’m going to have to hunt me down a character prop to help out with my book – it’s a fabulous way to self-inspire!
There you go! I am sure their is a perfect one out there. I would stay away from the Bratz collection…. Hahaha!
Thanks so much Julie Catherine!
Your creative vision knows no limits, Susie! Well done!
Thanks Hook! Do you have an action figure yet????
You will have Debra peeing her pants over this one.
I sure hope so!!!! I peed a little when I made up the cartoon bubbles…
Too cute! Thor is quite the world traveler now. I think he’s getting quite spoiled at all the female attention hehe
I think it has all gone to that little plastic head of his.
Thanks Melinda!
Glad you had fun. He got into a bunch of trouble at my house, but perhaps all the travel has tamed him a little? *giggle* Fun pics.
Maybe the high altitude kept him under control by slowing him down.
Thanks Lisa!
Reminds me of my son’s Flat Stanley.
We had a bear that we sent all over creation when my son was in the 3rd grade. My sister reminded me that she went everywhere for pamphlets and postcards!
Great photos!
Thanks John! I think Thor enjoyed himself!
I can tell it was fun!
I just finished reading Kelly’s post on Thor!
Scott
Um, spastic thought – how about Kristi’s post?
I just came from there! I think that somehow Thor always manages to have fun!
Thanks Scott!
Looks like Thor had a great time in Colorado… I wonder if the next place he visits can even top it?
I am sure that he will find a way to have a good time. That is just how Thor rolls! Get it? Rolls? God of Thunder! Hahaha!
It’s still too early in the morning here!
Thank for stopping by!
I think you’re on a roll with that pun.
So funny… when I saw the goddess remark i was going to frown.. I am reading 50 shades of grey and if I hear the words inner goddess one more time.. well..:)
HUGGGGGGGGG
He is a god! I never even thought about using the phrase, “inner goddess.” Good thing I haven’t read that book, yet!
Haha. I love the fireworks picture and the little village. The picture with your son is great. Too funny. Glad you had fun.
I freaked out after taking the village picture. I couldn’t find him anywhere and thought maybe Roxy had buried him outside. Courtney left him in the village pillaging away!
I had to get permission from her with that last picture. Good thing my kids have a great sense of humor!
We did have fun Debra. Thanks!
That’s too funny! I bet he looked like a giant taking the village by storm. Now, if Roxy had tried to bury him, that would have been an adventure to truly write about. Hahahaha
I was afraid he would be missing an arm or a leg. But he is a god and could just grow another, right?
Sure! He is a god, after all.
Very fun, Susie. I’m glad you showed Thor a good time!
Thanks Cathy! He took in all kinds of sights. I hope that he continues his voyage with a little smile on his plastic face…
Hi Susie,
Even the god of thunder must have blushed from the attention of the fawning maidens in that first photo. Hey, that doll has seen more sights that I have so far this year.
Hahaha! Under that hard plastic demeanor lies a soft blushing soul. Do gods have souls? He really is a spoiled little man! Hahaha!
Thanks for stopping by Ray!
Haha! Good one, Susie,
And he behaved himself! Great post!
Thanks CC!
Hahaha!
He did, but I had to watch him around Courtney…
