Good Morning! Why yucky/icky? The weather stinks…….yesterday we started out at 4:30AM (yes I said 4:30AM) at sixty seven balmy degrees……two hours later it was forty seven NOT balmy degrees and raining like we would need that ark brought up from the basement that my Dad’s been working on. THEN, fog moved in and the rain let up a bit………now I haven’t been outside yet this morning BUT something tells me it’s not pretty out there today either. So, I’m assuming yucky/icky AGAIN.
However, I can overlook that little problem because there’s something in the air………….wafting through the house………….(no it’s not my litter box)………..there’s the irresistible aroma of – – – (wait for it) – – – –
YAY!!!! And you know me – bacon soothes the savage beast (or not so savage cat as well). Mom made a big pile of it too. That also means she’s making pancakes. It’s a good way to start off a yucky/icky Saturday.
Now – get this – YESTERDAY I also got yet another award………I certainly did…….can you believe it???? This one came to me from my buddy Shrimp at Hairballexpress! It’s a new award – I’ve never received it before but I like the name……..
Best of all there are no “requirements” or “rules”……you just accept it – thank the person who kindly gave it to you (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SHRIMP!!), and pass it on to whoever you want to. I like that!
I’m gonna pass this one to:
I’ll also say that anyone else who would particularly like to receive it to add to their award collection can feel free to take it and pass it on. We’re all just one BIG HAPPY FAMILY here in the blogosphere right?
In line with that – I ALSO received my second star for my BLOG OF THE YEAR 2013 award from my super good friends at Purrfect Kitties. That’s two stars out of six. I’m so blessed by my friends…..THANK YOU!!!
WOO HOO TWO STARS!
How can today be yucky and icky if I’m so blessed to have such good friends? Well, INSIDE the house and INSIDE my heart it’s nice and warm and happy………..it’s OUTSIDE that’s yucky and icky. We might even see some snow over this weekend and early next week. YIKES. I’ll keep you informed!!
This was Christmas Day LAST year……will it do this again THIS year?????
HAPPY CATURDAY GANG! Sammy

Another star and another award. You are raking in the bling, Sammy. Good for you. We have been having the topsy-turvy weather. Two mornings ago, we could’t see our noses before our faces through the fog. Yesterday was somewhere between 71 degrees and 75 degrees, depending on which thermometer we checked. Like you, we need an ark, or in our case, at least a couple of arks. Some of us don’t want to share those close quarters with others. We’re waiting to see what materializes tomorrow. Mau has bacon pizzas at Campfire, Sammy. Hope you didn’t over-induge at breakfast. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
