Feline Friday is hosted by Steve, The Burnt Food Dude, and i'm going to believe it's because he likes cats.
Feline Friday is simple to join. All you have to do is..
1) post a picture, drawing, cartoon or video of a cat (They may be silly or cute)
2) go to Steve's page, linked above, then on the menu bar click on the Feline Friday tab to get the code
3) paste the code under your cat picture
4) add your name and link
That’s all there is to it! Be sure to check back every so often and visit all the Feline Friday bloggers. Also, please leave a nice comment on their blogs. Nasty comments will be deleted!
At Ms. G's house, i had a conversation with The Duchess.
Me: Duchess?
 |
| This better be important. |
Me: You do realize you are lying on the clean laundry, right?
 |
| And your point? |
Me: My point is now the clean laundry is covered with cat hair!
 |
| You disturbed me to tell me that! I'm going back to sleep. |

1. My favorite cereal is Ezekiel (like the Ezekiel bread) cereal with coconut water on it. Yes, i'm a weird vegan, but they know me in my world and i don't hurt anyone.
2. My prom did not see me. It was an all girls Catholic school, and my parents wouldn't let me date, so i had no one to ask to go with me.
3. The most fun thing about having children is life is never boring.
4. I cannot help everyone, but that won't stop me from helping those i can.

I think Duchess has a point how very dare you LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a regaltastic FF :-)
Duchess is adorable. Kitties have to do so much work on clean laundry to get their scent and fur back on. Thank you for your great fill-ins answers. I am so impressed that you are vegan, I would like to at least be a vegetarian, but I find it hard when I have to still cook meat for the hubby. Glad your kids keep you from being bored :) Same here with cats. Have a great weekend! XO
ReplyDeleteDo you realize that having a cat means having cat hairs around the entire house and I mean everywhere. But you know Mimi, they are so cute.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful Friday my friend. See ya.
Cruisin Paul
I took the best picture of my meow this morning. I woke up about 5 am and she was laying there, looking all adorable. I will have to look into the link up. I would love to share her..picture...not actually her.
ReplyDeleteLike Duchess, my Maggie enjoys a clean pile of laundry.
You have some nerve disturbing a cat.
ReplyDeleteYour comments on the Ezekiel cereal reminded me I had meant to make Ezekiel bread one of these days, it always sounded interesting. For a breakfast cereal I would add raisins. I might try answering those questions myself, in my own mind, they are interesting aren't they? As for the cat conversation, it certainly figures! I do believe that is exactly what she was thinking! :)
ReplyDeleteCat hair happens... all the time on our clean laundry
ReplyDeleteespecially do not disturb if the laundry IS STILL WARM!
ReplyDeletecats are stubborn creatures
ReplyDeleteMimi, you rock. I am sure you help more than you even know. I wish you a beautiful mother's day, because you really deserve it. Enjoy! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteChildren have added that fun element to our lives, too. Who could get by without having made a diaper out of newspaper in an emergency? Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour answer to #3 is absolutely right! There is always something going on and you never know what they are going to say or do next. :)
ReplyDeleteYour history tidbits has had me chasing bunnies for hours now, reading about Queen Victoria (now the second-longest reining British monarch - Elizabeth surpassed her) and about all the castles involved with their families. It was fascinating reading. Thank you for these history lessons!
Have a blessed weekend. :)
PS Happy Mother's Day!
