New Little Buddy (Feline Friday) and Friendly Fill-Ins

 ***********************************






Feline Friday was originally started by Steve, The Burnt Food Dude (who no longer blogs), and i'm going to believe it's because he likes cats.

He handed hosting duties off to Sandee at Comedy Plus, and now she's entrusting it to me. 


Feline Friday is simple to join.  All you have to do is: Post a picture, drawing, cartoon or video of a cat (they may be silly or cute).  Then add your link!


One thing for sure is this is a fun and easy meme to do.  So come and join us in Feline Friday.


What better way to start the weekend than with a feline!


Mr. BA's new Buddy is a playful guy.  Several of the pictures are blurry because he only has two speeds, gogogogo, and full stop/sleep.


















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






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. _________ is something that boggles my mind.


2. I hope to _________ this summer.


3. I could really use some recommendations for _________.


4. _________ wasn't my best idea.



1. Eternity  is something that boggles my mind.


2. I hope to   take an extra day or two off  this summer.


3. I could really use some recommendations for   a new carry-all bucket for cleaning supplies.  The one i liked best is worn and is not made any longer.


4. Not staying in college and getting a degree in a field that could snag me a desk job  wasn't my best idea.
