I Don't Know If I Can Yell Any Louder

I feel like I've been run over by a truck. Physically, emotionally, dysfunctionally.

It's been even more chaotic than usual around here.

It feels like being on a ship that keeps filling with water, and as soon as I plug one hole, another one pops up.
It's like one step forward and two steps back.

It's like my life is a giant whack-a-mole game.

I need a vacation. One that involves copious amounts of alcoholic beverages.

But, alas, that's not on the horizon, so I guess I'll just frag!

I already decorated my house for fall/Halloween. I figure if the stores can do it, why can't I? This is my favorite time of year and I'm going to enjoy every moment. I have fall tarts burning, too. Mmmm....

It's that "special" time of the month (ugh) so I stocked up on chocolate at the grocery store today. So what do you think I'm craving?
Oatmeal raisin cookies.

The number of dogs in my possession has suddenly tripled. My neighbor's dogs got out today, and have been on the lam all day long. They've been in and out of our yard, and at one point they had Meep treed! (they're hunting dogs.) Finally tonight, I heard the distinctive beagle bark out in my yard. Two of the three were hanging around, and came right up to me. Since it was so late, I just put them on the screened porch with my boxer. Thankfully, she's the sweetest dog alive and is just thrilled to have two new friends visiting for the evening!

I made Mexican Lasagna for the first time tonight for dinner. It was so good, I posted the recipe on Southern Loving!

This video absolutely cracks me up, which gives you some insight into my twisted sense of humor. Love it!

That's all I got for ya, folks!

Have a great weekend, and

GO GATORS!!

Look Who's Talking

Meep is gracing my blog with her furry presence today!

I decided to interview her, to see how things are going for her here at Dysfunction Junction.

If you're new, click HERE to read some older Meep posts.

"Hello there!

What's that?

You want to put me on the blog again?

Hang on, let me wash my face, I just ate.

You want to know what, exactly, I just ate?

I think we should change the subject now.

So.

You want me to sing you a song?

Whatever, your ears are NOT bleeding.

At least someone around here loves me.

She doesn't mind that I'm a runt.

She's kinda short herself!

Shorties gotta stick together."

{This cat is about a year and a half old, and still the size of an adolescent kitten. Her mom is tiny, she is tinier, and probably will not grow any more.

But we love her just the way she is!}

Linking up for Wordful Wednesday:

My Happy List

I have some ~*Happy*~ to share with you today!

So I'm joining in with Mamarazzi's Happy List.

~* I think we've found our house. I don't want to jinx anything, so I'm not going to say much....but I'm crossing everything crossable!

~* My parents invited us to go out for dinner with them tonight - their treat! This is a rare occurrence, so it definitely goes on the Happy List!

~* I won an adorable Coffee Cozy from Cream No Sugar via Mamarazzi's Taking Back Mondays. It came in the mail today (so fast!) and I just love it! Thanks, Sue & Mamarazzi!

~* One of our cats scared us very badly this week. I was certain we were going to lose her. Now - she has made a full recovery! I will post the whole story next week. But I am SO happy that she is okay!

~* I start my new job on Monday! Happy happy happy!

~* After a run of some bad luck, it seems like maybe things are turning around for us. What a relief!

~* I have a giveaway up at Southern Loving. Giveaways make everyone happy!

~* Mamarazzi makes me happy. I'm so glad I found her blog; she is one of the sweetest bloggers I've ever "met"!

Hope you have a ~*HAPPY*~ weekend!

I guess the PC term would be "Little Meeple"

Remember Meep?

Meep is Elayna's kitten. She came to live in our zoo in May of last year.

She is almost a year old now. And it seems that she forgot something.

She forgot to GROW.

Meep shortly after we got her:

Meep in November (taken from this post):

Meep tonight (not terribly happy to be woken up with a flash in her face):

There's nothing wrong with her; she's just little. Her mom was really small too.

She's still silly. She still gets into a lot of trouble. She still LOVES her Layna.

She's just our little Midget Meep.

It's All About Me(ep)

Well helllooo, bloggy friends!

It's me, Meep!

I've taken over Mom's blog to show you what I've been up to lately.

This is a picture of me and my hooman, Elayna.

But you've seen her before, and really, hoomans are pretty boring.

So today's post is all about me and my dog, Sofia.

Sofia loves me.

She is very gentle with me.

Look! I am SO ferocious.

Really! I am vicious!!

Also, I am a little annoying.

Sofia? Where you go??

In other news:

The other day, Mom decided she was going to give me a bath.
I decided OH NO SHE WAS NOT.
Since Mom does not speak Cat,
I communicated my wishes by digging my claws
deeply into the tender skin on her chest.
Just above her breast.
Mom said BAD words.
But guess who won??
No bath for Me(ep)!!!!!

Happy Wordful Wednesday to youuuu!

Wordlful Wednesday, A Little Late

I am fortunate to have two Snail Mail Pals, and one of them lives in England. She also has a daughter the same age as Shelbie, so they are pen pals as well.
They sent us these adorable gifts last week.
My Snail Mail Pal, Lindsay-Ann from The Cross-Stitch House, sent me a postbox keychain. It is so cute!



And Lindsay's daughter sent Shelbie this adorable panda key chain. Shelbie loves it.



And someone asked about Meep recently, so I snapped a pic of her with my cell phone.
She has barely grown at all! She's going to be tiny like her Mama, I do believe. Her Mama is so small, I honestly thought she was a kitten.
Meep is precious and sweet, and still just LOVES Elayna. She purrs 24/7. We love her!

Wordful Wednesday ~ Meet Meep!

Well, hello, humans!

My name is Misty, but people around here call me Meep.

Just because I couldn't say the word "meow" when I first got here.
So I said "Meep", and now I guess I'll never live it down!

*sigh*
All they ever want to do is take my picture.
I know I'm cute, but give me a break! I need my cutie sleep!

Enough already! Call off the paparazzi!

It's rough being incredibly adorable. *wink-wink*

xoxo,
Meep!
