Six Word Stories for Cats on Tuesday

Janna has been prompting her readers to write six word books.

It started at Nancy's blog. The idea is to write a story that's only six words long. Here's the set-up Nancy gave:

Ernest Hemingway said the best thing he ever wrote was a six-word story. It is
this: "For sale-- Baby shoes. Never used."

So like a smarta$$ my six word story response was:

I'm up for it!
Not yet.

Well folks, the time is now for my collection of personally written cat stories, in six words each!

Miss Crankypants.
Careful of your eyes.

Kitty Krack
Could not help her.

Pretty,
Too bad her personality sucks.


Clear the road Kitty!
Oh no!

Being fat cat
is all that!

In and out,
Like a yo-yo!

I am fat.
I am cat.


Soooorry ... not my best work ....

....in other news, Pool Boy is probably going to get his back operated on in three weeks! It's a 4-5 hour surgery, with one week in the hospital and three month rehabilitation period.

Get this, his surgeon is doctor for the Ottawa Senators hockey team, and he's on the road with them for the playoffs. Pool Boy will get the operation when he comes back off the road! Alright! We've been waiting for so long. He is anxious but relieved that now we are getting somewhere. Me too!

I'm so confused. Daughter #1 is home from Scotland tonight, past DQ boyfriend is over here now. She is all gaga about the Hot Scot! I haven't had a chance to talk to her without former bf around. I may have to give her a talkin' to. I'm feelin' sorry for DQ Boy.

Cool music tag from Christie over at ICL Video Blog. Alro's got the baton now and he's a real musician. Can't wait to see what he comes up with.

Shheeeeshhh I was like all caught up with my bloglines on the weekend and now I'm all behind again. Anybody else have that problem? It's me, right?

Toodles~

Happy Easter Monday!

Hey what is the significance of Easter Monday anyways? Does anyone of y'all know?

Hope y'all had a great Easter weekend and are fresh like bunnies to start this new week!!

I've got a cute Easter Monday Manic Monday up. Lisa really does come up with the best questions for Manic Monday and sometimes I like to tease her when I play along. yuk yuk

While you're there and if you like the music on here for Easter, check out a really cool new song and video from Casting Crowns called "Who am I?". Just discovered this song and I love it!

So on to some personal stuff.

Big news! Mr. Philosopher has been nominated for an award at his college for programming (computer music). Last year he was nominated for his songwriting. He says he doesn't care if he wins or not but it's nice to have his music recognized and adds "I couldn't have done it without my crazy brain and my laptop, go computers!" A boy after me own heart! Oh, ya and he's moving in with his girlfriend at the end of the semester so looks like we may be taking a trip down to help him move soon.

'Course it's exam and term project time at all the colleges and universities so my kids and nephew are busy busy busy. Didn't make it home for Easter, although my daughter who is at a local university did manage to come for dinner at my sis's place last night, even if she did bring her books! Yay Nurse-a-baby!

#1 daughter is in Scotland and returning home tomorrow. She's been there a week with her friends. Her friend was dancing in the World competition for Irish dancing. Get this, she text messages us to say she's going on a date with a Hot Scot! lmao Not only one, but two dates occurred within this one week timeframe!!

Ah well, she's young and a busy lass! She got a promotion at work right before she left to go away! She takes possession of her first home on May 1st. Yup, the wiener will be moving out!!!Not straight away, because she has some work to do in the house first, but hopefully before the end of May! I need to get all the furniture that Dad gave her out of the garage!

I'll miss the doodle but not always sleeping in my bed like she has the past week thought she's really not much trouble because Pool Boy takes her out rofl!

Werked from home today (hey, maybe that's why I'm in such a good mood?) and managed to boogie off to the pit at lunch with my sis and our doggies. Didn't take any pics this time, but she did.

So I'm just wondering do I blog more about my kids or my pets? I don't like to brag too much about the kids because that's just boring for y'all but just so you know, they put.me.through.hell during the teenage years so when I do it's because I've earned my bragging rights he he.

And furthermore, I'm not out of the woods yet ~ notice no reference to Batgirl today? That's 'cause she's basically in her own little world these days and we've got some issues to clear up, nothing serious, I hope, but nothing to brag about there (yet) either! ho ho ho

So I might as well just finish off with Pool Boy who is going to see the back surgeon tomorrow, finally. Let's hope they do something quick! I can't take it anymore!!! Not sure how he's doin' ROFL.

I have a wee little surprise too that I will blog about soon about Pool Boy and me. Nothing big at all, but something positive anyways. I will be getting back to do some posts on ICL Talks to give a little update on the situ. I'm going to go back to venting on that blog and quit keeping things bottled up.

Famous last words! Wasn't it just last week I was saying that I was going to slow down on blogging and proceeded to post pretty much every day and twice on Sundays still!!!!???

OK so I may still have some issues.

Blah blah blog

Trying to get over a yucchy head cold that I've had all week so I'm laying low today trying to recover. Read some of my book Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy, read some blogs and played with some toys.

Found this at Debbie's Fruit of the Spirit earlier in the week and have been meaning to do it.....

List ten things no one talks about anymore, then tag 5 people.

1. Balancing their cheque book. Who writes cheques these days? Oh sorry, checks for you southern folks.


2. Kiddle Kolognes - Did anyone have these. The were scented little dolls that came in cologne shaped bottles. I had Lavendar (purple), Sweet Pea (white), Honeysuckle (yellow) and ?????? (the hair on her was bright green).


3. Can't say incense, because it's back with a vengeance! My youngest burns it all.the.time! So instead I will say pot pourri. Do people use this regularly? I have no idea. Whenever I have it smells good up close but does nothing to smell up a room or anything.


4. Purple People Eaters


5. Typewriters - man they sucked compared to computers! he he


6. UFO's - ha ha ha heard a joke about this the other day. Ever notice that since the popularity of digital cameras and camcorders nobody sees UFO's anymore???


7. Looking forward to the mail delivery. No one sends letters anymore so what possibly could be exciting in the mail except bills. Blah!


8. Unions - it's not that nobody talks about them anymore, it's just that they don't have the same importance that they used to it seems. They're sort of out of vogue, passé, past their prime, kinda have a negative connotation, not like the positive one you get from the movie Norma Rae. Maybe they're all getting too big and demanding and ridiculous to take seriously now.

9. Swizzle sticks - you can tell I'm starting to scrap the barrel now ay?


10. Shotgun weddings - ha ha ha mine would have been a shotgun wedding if we hadn't already set our wedding date for for four months after we got engaged. You've heard of honeymoon babies? We call her our engagement baby. he he

Pick up a tag if you want one on the way out :-)

Going to watch some DVD's now ... Ciao internets!

Cheeky Tag

Cheeky tagged me. Hey I got a nice little Valentine's in the mail from Cheeky! Read her #3. mmmm.... I think there's a method to her madness!

The game: Tell ten weird things or habits or little known facts about themselves. Tag six people to do the same. No tag backs!

Oh.my.dog this is going to be hard - 10, I've gotta think of ten freakin' weird things! I've done this meme at least once or twice before. I'm gonna try to do it without peeking or reusing what I wrote previously. All brand new stuff here at Sláinte ~ It’s only Me! Here goes, wish me luck!!!:

1. I like to post on my blog or in comments on others blogs weird word verifications like this one "neakfurz". Isn't that one awesome?


2. I love to drink milk. Skim milk. Oh and chocolate without milk is not cool.


3. I am superstitious about some things. I'm always knocking my head and saying "touch wood" if I say something and then I realize I really would not want that to happen.


4. I think of new song tunes in my head but then I can't remember the tunes. I could be a musical writer but don't even know it.


5. I'm not afraid to die, at all.


6. Ice is my friend, or so the chiropractor tells me. I've got smooshy ice. I do like smooshy ice so I guess I can call him a friend.


7. I keep tweezers in my desk at work so if those pesky chin hairs all of a sudden become noticeable while I'm stroking my chin thoughtfully, poof they're gone. Good light in my office, btw, oh and I have a mirror too.


8. I can't believe I'm already at number eight. This isn't as hard as I thought or maybe you've stopped reading by now. Uh oh, I feel some performance anxiety coming on. Yes, I am that insecure. Confident but insecure.
   
9. I've seen this new Dorito commercial (based on India) tonight about five six seven times. It's not that funny. I can't find anything about it on You Tube but I did find this fun video about Amazing India Traffic.
   



10. I think that there is a finite number of categories that depict what people look like. Everyone is just a variation within that category. I haven't determined how many types there are but I'm thinking maybe 64. Have you ever noticed how a person sometimes looks generally like some one else you know? See? My point, exactly.
