T.G.I.B.

Posted on February 28, 2015 by onespoiledcat

Huh? Well T.G.I.B. stands for (wait for it……………………) “Thank Goodness It’s Bacon!!”…………..I bet some of you guessed right? Anyway, I’m tying my bib around my neck (don’t want to drool while waiting for bacon you know) and getting ready to start my Saturday off right.

Nobody’s looking – right?

Are you going to celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday on Monday, March 2? We’re celebrating at Tabby Cat Club AND at Cat Scouts, and for my blog I may just have to dress up as one of my favorite Dr. Seuss characters too. My Mom LOVED the Dr. Seuss books but sadly, I think subsequent generations really never got to know Dr. Seuss’s stories and Mom will mention Dr. Seuss and people have no idea who he was or how much success he had with his wonderfully creative stories. Reading was a BIG activity back when my Mom was a kid (I think hunting dinosaurs was too but that’s another story).

I love this!

Nothing else going on around here – we monsterized the house yesterday to today is QUIET……………..fine with me……………I prefer QUIET any old day over crazy/busy!

……ZZZZZZZZZ…….

We haven’t had any snow for THREE WHOLE DAYS IN A ROW……………..maybe we really will eventually get Spring? I sure hope so………..man oh man am I ever READY for it!

Oh how I dream of seeing THIS view of my house soon…….GO AWAY WINTER!!!!

Hugs,

Sammy Springtime

Happy BaconDay, S. Mom’s favorite Dr. Seuss book is The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins. There are no cats in that book, but lots of hats. She is celebrating on Monday by leaving me all alone and going to read her Ebook to her godchild’s kindergarten class. I hope she reads fast…

Love and licks,
Cupcake

  HAHAHA…..know what? We love the Grinch but have NEVER seen that movie…..maybe Mom should get it for Dad’s stocking next year – they have a BIG collection of all the Christmas movies including all the oldies but goodies like Bing Crosby in White Christmas and Holiday Inn………every year like clockwork Dad drags out all those movies and my Mom and Dad watch them (I think they know them so well they could ACT them with all the lines too!).

Her Mom got more of them for her from the library on the base where they lived and she was totally hooked by then on the fun stories, rhymes and pictures.
