Her Way (Feline Friday) and Friendly Fill-Ins

***********************************






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.


mimi:  Hey, anykitty want to pose for Feline Friday?


 Tripod SissyCat:  Sure, I will.




Tripod SissyCat:  But you have to come around here to get a picture, I don't want to move.



Tripod SissyCat:  Much better!






***********************************






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. Nothing is better than _________.


2. I _________ my _________ in _________.


3. _________ makes me feel energized.


4. I would advise others to _________.



1. Nothing is better than   to someday hear those words, "Well done, good and faithful servant."


2. I   drink  my    coffee  in   my favorite coffee cup my friend gave me back in high school.


3. Getting things finished  makes me feel energized.


4. I would advise others to   never stop learning.

  1. You have looked after that coffee cup really well. I had one for over twenty years (and wept when I broke it). I hope I do never stop leaning - I have a lot TO learn.

  11. I feel the same way about getting things done. When chores pile up it drives me crazy, I think that's why I'm so hyper organized.

  12. I am terrifically impressed that you can own a daily-use mug for that long and not have broken it somewhere along the way.
    (But I might be projecting...)

  15. SissyCat is so cute! And thank you for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! Your #2 reminded of how the other day I was drinking out of a mug one of my own friends got me back in high school, and when I picked it up the handle snapped right off. Luckily the rest of the mug is fine, and I still use it, just without the handle. Have a wonderful week!
