Friendly Fill-Ins

Let’s Fill-In….Shall We?

Friday is “filling in” blog hop day.    It’s a fun Hop co-hosted by McGuffy’s Reader AND 15andMeowing.    If you click the badge above you will be whisked away to McGuffy’s where you can use Annie’s LINKY tool and join up to play along with us!

I let my Mom do this week’s filling in……………..just kind of seemed like SHE’D have an easier time with these particular sentences than I would so LET ‘ER RIP MOMMY!    Her fill-in words are in BABY BLUE………..

 

1. Meetings used to drive me crazy when I worked – people would be late, people wouldn’t show up, people would sit like lumps and not contribute – I do NOT miss meetings now that I’m retired!

2. Rules should be treated like “guidelines” – not necessarily cast in stone – sometimes there’s a BETTER way than the rule dictates!.

3. The best time to take a vacation is in the Fall – we have ALWAYS taken vacations in the Fall, after school starts and there are no crowds ANYWHERE!.

4. I have learned that there are no guarantees in life – don’t take a thing for granted – ever.

 

Gosh Mom – so serious!   Maybe I should tell a joke now so everyone can SMILE again…………..hahahaha……………just kidding.   Thank you for being the filler-inner this week!    Hope everyone has a HAPPY FRIDAY…………….remember how Sammy used to complain about Friday being “cleaning day” here at the house?   Well, it still is, but unlike Sammy I don’t run and hide – I WATCH.   I find it fascinating to see my Mom and Dad in this big flurry of activity straightening, vacuuming, dusting, and the best part about it?   When they’re finished I can drag all my toys back out of my box and make a big mess and watch them all over again!   Tee Hee………….

Hurry up Mom…………I’m waiting for you to finish so I can take a nap in my torn up old red cube!!

Love, Teddy (aka Butter Bean)*

*Butter Bean is my new nickname thanks to my Dad.   When I went to the vet for follow-up blood work I found out I now weigh 15.30 lbs.   That’s up a whole pound since June.   My vet says I’m NOT FAT – I’m “big boned”………my vet is my best buddy now!  

Tuesday Teaser

Geography Class Is In Session!

Yep – here we are my fine students of geography…..gathered together for yet another agonizing Tuesday when we examine a photo and try to figure out where on earth it was taken!    Not only THAT, but we are welcoming back our official Teaser Cheerleader, SuzieQ from her second (and final) stay in Cheerleader Rehab to try and cure her of her NASTY/MEAN streak with her cheers.   I’m told that at least now she’s nasty with a smile on her face so I think we’ll just be happy with that.   However, due to the overwhelming popularity of Miss SuzieQ, and because so many of you have said you LOVE HER, we now have a badge JUST FOR YOU!    That’s right – if you are a Suzie fan, there is a badge for that……..you can proudly proclaim it on your sidebar now if you want to!

 

I’m a SuzieQ Fan – Are You?

Here’s today’s CHALLENGE!

Where Is This?????

Now, Suzie – if you’d like to come in and give our students a big old cheer to get them fired up and ready to guess we’d all really appreciate it – oh – and WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!

OK………….I guess…………….thanks Suzie – I’m sure you have inspired all students to work hard to solve the mystery of WHERE WAS THE PHOTO TAKEN (or at least you have them wondering what the heck kind of Rehab facility you graduated from!!).

So get to work students………………get those guesses done ASAP – you know you want a NEW badge to display and show off to family and friends – right????  RIGHT?

CLASS DISMISSED UNTIL TOMORROW!

Professor Sam

YESSSSS!

BACONIZE DAY IS HERE!

I’m ready to be baconized……….it’s been a cold, rainy week and I am ready for my BIG TREAT……..bacon for breakfast.   I took a peekie in the refrig while Mom was cleaning house yesterday and there’s a BIG package of bacon in there so I don’t want any “we’re all out” or “there’s not enough left to cook” stories – no I will NOT settle for that………..I want BACON!

NO – she’s not telling the truth!

Mom’s not sure WHAT she will make for breakfast other than of course bacon…………….I thought I’d help by giving her this pup’s recipe but not sure she fell for it!

WAITING FOR THE SMELL TO DRIFT MY WAY……………

So you smell it too huh?

Yep – we all need to tingle from time to time……..!

After we have breakfast, I’ll probably have a “BELLY FULL OF BACON” nap………..you know…….give that stuff a chance to digest properly while visions of sugarplums bacon dance through my little ginger head!

I’m dreaming that I’m KING of Baconville……zzzzzzz

MY KINDA DREAMING!!!!!!   

Happy Caturday

(with a side order of bacon)

King of Baconville!

Wanna be part of my “Kingdom” of bacon?  Grab this badge!

World News with Red Ginger

BREAKING NEWS…………….

Gosh, that “Red Ginger” guy needs a new hairpiece…………that one is PITIFUL!

Hugs, Sammy

Sam In Space

 

I do look rather smashing in this fancy suit...but this seems a little HARSH as punishment!

Well, if Mom has her way (and she most often does), this could be me any day now….that is if she decides to call NASA to see if there’s an opening for another space dude.                                                                                

OK – let me back up a bit…….this all started YESTERDAY when my parents disappeared around 1PM and didn’t come back home until around 7PM.  They left me here all by myself for that whole long time.  Off they went to see a play then out to dinner.  What did poor little Sam do?  Sat and looked out the windows waiting – longing for his parents to return!  Sniff.  There’s only so much I can do to keep myself occupied with no humans around you know!

I gave them the cold shoulder when they finally got home.  So there!

But, what pushed Mom over the edge and brought on this space cat thing is that beginning at around midnight – after my parents were sleeping away peacefully – I began my assault.  Commando cat…….I hopped up on their bed and meowed nice and loud.  They woke up (tee hee) and gave me pets and snuggles and I settled down for about five minutes between them…..waited for things to get quiet then hopped down and left the room.  I did the same thing about every thirty minutes ALL NIGHT LONG.  Yep – I sure did.  Around 2AM Mom decided to just plain get up and give me some fresh food, check my litter box, adjust my tissue and toy pile for me then she went back to bed thinking MAYBE I’d settle down. 

HA!

I changed my tactics a bit after that.  I’d go upstairs and go in their room – go under the bed and begin meowing…….To his credit OLD DAD slept right through everything after around 1AM but good old Mom sure didn’t.  She was up/down/up/down/up/down all night long!  The last time I woke her she got up and shoo’d me out into the hallway and closed the bedroom door.  That was around 4AM.  But at 5AM which is when she ALWAYS gets up anyway, I was back and howling at the closed door.  She got up.  She’s been grumpy ever since.  Even coffee didn’t help.  She looks like she was run over by a truck…..kinda rough around the edges you might say.

So – maybe you think her idea to send me into space isn’t a bad one huh?  Perhaps I pushed the envelope a bit too much………maybe I should let her have a nice long nap today……..I’ll think about it……seriously…..because I’m just not sure being a space cat is right for me.  What if they don’t load enough treats into my spacesuit before tossing me out of the spaceship? 

Sammy – In trouble today I’m afraid!!!!
