************************************************************
Friendly Fill-Ins are easy to do. There are four statements: the first two statements are provided by Ellen of 15AndMeowing, and the final two are offered by McGuffy Ann Morris of McGuffy's Reader. They try to make sure the statements will be fun to both answer and share. The linky will be posted at or about 12:00 AM on Friday. Please head over to one of their sites, link up, and share your thoughts!
My fill-ins for the statements are underlined:
Week 48: April 7, 2017
1. I don't understand why _________ is so popular.
2. My in-case-of-emergency person is ____________.
3. There is so much __________________!
4. I would be lost without __________________.
1. I don't understand why any of the people who are famous just for being famous are so popular.
2. My in-case-of-emergency person is my Sweetie first, then Grandpa or Grandma, and finally, one of the (now supposedly adult) children. For all of them, the in-case-of-emergency person is me!
3. There is so much living to do and so little time! Also there is way more on my to be read pile than i will get to in two lifetimes.
4. I would be lost without my calendars and notebooks. When it's time to figure out where i'm supposed to be or how much i earned last year or how much we spent on car repairs or whatever, nothing beats my calendars and notebooks.

Seeings your so cute I agree to let you sleep heheh!
ReplyDeleteHave a cutetastic weekend :-)
That is a very cute kitten. Thanks for participating in the fill-ins, you always have great answers. I know what you mean about so much to read and not enough time, I have over 600 books on my Goodreads "to read" list. There are a lot of people like The Kardashians that are famous for no reason other than having money and they don't even set a good example with it, they just buy expensive clothes and shoes, so sad. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteAwww, so adorable. I love Feline Friday. Okay, I love kitties.
ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect Feline Friday. ☺
Well, cuteness requires beauty sleep. I know this from experience.
ReplyDeleteOh, my - Snailpaper day. What a wonderful word. Snailpaper. I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your fill-ins, your writing is always so creative. I agree with you about the calendars and notebooks. I would be lost without mine.
ReplyDeleteI hear you totally on #3! We have over 50,000 books in our Kindle and what feels like about that many coming in print form each week (we review books now). We'd have to live two lifetimes each and then some to get through that stack. haha
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd known about this one, "No Housework Day/Let Someone Else Clean Day" before I started the laundry. :)
This one sounds totally terrifying to me:
"Dr. K. Winfield Ney performs the first brain tumor operation under a local anesthesia, at Beth Israel Hospital, 1923"
I wouldn't want to be awake for brain surgery (or eye surgery!) on ANY level. Knock me out cold!
Your posts always have such interesting information. Thank you!
Have a blessed weekend. :)
That orange and black combo is very tiger-ish! I totally agree about those awful famous-for-nothing people. We need true heroes, not spoiled rich kids. You'd be my emergency contact too! ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't understand the whole famous for being famous thing either. We live in a weird world now. Our to be read stack grows more and more each day.
ReplyDeleteOh my heavens...what a sweet face that kitten has! I need to try to join you for Feline Friday. I used to do that many moons ago. I miss it.
ReplyDeleteWow, your answers are really good ones. I do not understand the popularity of many of these people who are paid enormous sums for...what?! Remember when people had to earn both: popularity and money. Good grief. I hear you when it comes to keeping track of everything. I do that, too! Happy Palm Sunday!
Awww soft kitty, sleepy kitty... :)
ReplyDeleteI love my big family calendar!!! It has been a godsend in helping me stay organized lately!
And for real, based on what appears to be the standards for talent, we ALL could be famous!
