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. Follow the link above to Steve's page to see how to be a part of this fun meme.
Don't let their innocent look fool you, these two, despite everything we try to use to block them into their safe place, are planning a jail break.

| And we will succeed! |
***********************************
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:
1. My inner child_____________________.
2. My favorite month is ________________.
3. My favourite commercial is ______________, because ______________________.
4. Personally, I don't care for _______________________.
1. My inner child would much rather play than work, which is why i am a messy mimi.
2. My favorite month is July, January, September, April, November, May, October, March, June, December, August, and February. nNo, i don't have a favorite, really, they all have good and bad points, things to look forward to, and things i wish didn't have to happen.
3. My favorite commercial is an old one, where the young boy hands Mean Joe Green a Coke, because it made me smile then and makes me smile now.
4. Personally, i don't care for cooked greens. Mustard, collard, and turnip greens are fine in small amounts in a salad or a green smoothie, but i got horribly sick to my stomach on cooked greens when i was pregnant with #1 Son and i cannot tolerate them at all now. Funny, but he doesn't like them much, either.

I love your answers, Mimi. Julia, of Of Petals & Wool, said the same thing about the months. Great minds think a like. I remember that commercial. Good one; sweet. I can sympathize with your last fill-in. Cooked spinach is that way with me, after being sick on it once. I love greens! Yum! Have a great weekend. HUGS!
ReplyDeleteSuch cute kittens :) Thank you for these great answers, I especially like your second answer. I don't think I have ever had any of those greens cooked, I can see why you have no interest in them now. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYep, they can escape quickly too. So cute.
ReplyDeleteI've got the code on my sidebar if you're interested. Steve must have forget about the code.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday and an even better weekend. ☺
It looks like you two kitties will be successful with your jail break. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHa! It does look like a jail break. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteAwww those kitties are adorable. They look like some that we used to have. :)
ReplyDeleteI love cooked greens. I'm sorry they make you sick. I agree, uncooked greens are great in salads. The only thing I could hold down when I was pregnant the first time (a boy) was Mexican food. He grew up to marry a sweet, beautiful Mexican girl.
I always loved that Coke commericial, too!
These events sound like great fun:
Arts in the Park -- Kalispell, MT, US
Barn Day
Collector Car Appreciation Day
Wow, I had no idea is was so long ago that these dollar bills had gone out of use that long ago! I was almost 4 years old then. I remember being told about why they stopped allowing the $1000 dollar bills (status symbol for drug dealers), but I thought it was a recent event when I was being told about it. Wrong again. haha
Have a blessed evening, Mimi.
