The Daily Bounce December 4, 2008

Filed under: Just stuff — Dreamer @ 5:36 pm

It is a long time since I have done a Daily Bounce so here is one.

The Daily Bounce
Editor and main writer: Tigger/Dreamer

Home News: My Dad is in Poland and then he is going to England and then he is going to Amsterdam and he will not be back fo three weeks. WAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

More Home News: My cats are insane. I think you knew that though.

Even More Home News: I am entering 2 writing contest. One I have already entered and the other I will enter soon. I have posted the first and will post the second on my Other Blog.

What I did today: Made part of a Christmas present for my friend Mouse (aka Piglet). Wrote some of Writing Contest Entry #2. Embroidered. Made cookies.

What I had for Supper: Giant shells stuffed with spinach and ricotta and covered with Tomato sauce. I usually dislike Spinach AND Ricotta (separate) but for some reason they taste really good together. Like Chlorine and Sodium. They are horrible apart and you put them together and they make, ta-da!, something essential in our lives. (Salt)

It’s true. So here is ho it happened.

On Thursday, we had spaghetti and lentil sauce for supper. Donner was looking up at Mommy and meowing. Mom let her try a bit of the lentil stuff and Donner gobbled it all up and asked for more! Mom gave her her bowl to lick and lapped up a whole bunch of that too. Yep. My cat is Weird.
