***********************************
Feline Friday was started by Steve, The Burnt Food Dude, and i'm going to believe it's because he likes cats.
He has handed hosting duties off to Sandee, of Comedy Plus, and it's simple to join, just follow the link to Sandee's page for the rules and the code.
These are snuggle buddies:
***********************************
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 Lorianne The Menagerie Mom of Four-Legged Furballs. 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!
Here are this week's statements with my responses underlined:
1. I am trying to ___________________.
2. I always _______________when ________________________.
3. _________ has my seal of approval.
4. I would not recommend _________.
1. I am trying to learn Spanish, and i have been trying for years and making a little progress, and i will continue to be trying to learn, as i do not give up easily.
2. I always love it when it's feets up time after work.
3. Vegan sushi has my seal of approval.
4. I would not recommend trying to learn to juggle. No matter how good you get at it, your friends will always wonder if you can do one more item. (This is what i learned from someone who wrote a book about juggling and made a living at it. He said that no matter how good he got, friends gave him little credit until he could add one more item, even though they couldn't juggle at all!)

ReplyDeleteI hadn't considered the 'just one more item' thing, but can well see that it is correct. And I couldn't juggle to save my life.
I thought it was Saturday until I read "Feline Friday". Are you sure it's Friday where you are?
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
What cute snuggle buddies heheh!
ReplyDeleteMy brother is learning Spanish too I hope you make good prgress in the future.

ReplyDeleteProject Gutenberg, here I come!
Aw on those two kittens. That's an adorable shot.
ReplyDeleteLove your fill ins and I so remember coming home from work and off goes the clothes and into the comfy clothes and yes the feet went up.
Thank you for joining the Feline Friday Blog Hop.

I tried to learn how to juggle - It's one of the very few things I've ever given up on tryning to learn.
ReplyDeleteAs always thanks for the lists.
Love the sweet little snuggle kitties ~ adorable photo ^_^
ReplyDeleteHappy Moments to You,

Those snuggle tabbies are sure cuties! Good answers too, espero que aprendas esa cosa espanola.
ReplyDeleteTee hee ...learning to juggle has never entered my mind! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose snuggle buddies are so cute.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful snuggle buddies!
ReplyDeleteYes, juggling many things doesn't mean you are appreciated. Focusing works much better!
Have a great weekend!
AWWWWWWWWWWW Don't you wish they could always stay little!
ReplyDeleteI think it's good to keep a brother/sister of kittens... well puppies too if you have the patience and room. They're too cute.
ReplyDeleteI hope these 2 cuties get a forever home together.
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. I am sure you can learn Spanish if you keep at it. Have a nice weekend. XO
I found that the best way to master a language is to go where they speak it. I've vacationed in Venezuela, Cancun and Cozumel and those short trips had me speaking Spanish like I haven't before or since. Same with when I went to Israel and was able to speak and understand Hebrew more than I had before or since.
ReplyDeleteLove the snuggle buddies in the basket. None of my cats ever used a basket, all preferring my bed or chair.
ReplyDeleteMy two snuggle-buddies aka furry mates...aka pets...aka Remy and Shama both are snuggled up on "our" bed! :)
ReplyDeleteThose snuggle bunnies are cute. I have a Yorkie mix for mine. About the only things I've been able to juggle are scarves, they go a little slower. Have a super Saturday and Sunday !
ReplyDeleteWhat a adorable and sweet snuggle buddies! And thank you for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! I find it inspiring that you don't give up and continue to learn Spanish. I learned Spanish for quite a few years in school, and I'm annoyed at myself for not practicing it often since graduating and therefore losing a lot of my fluidity. And I also actually learned how to juggle back when I was in school. I still do practice that, and I can juggle three items, but whenever anyone finds out I can juggle or asks to see me do it, it seems they do indeed always ask me to add one more item. I hope your week is going wonderfully!
