Feline Friday

Spring has sprung ... almost. This is how I wish it was today, so sunny and bright that we can open the door and Mouse can sleep in the sunshine like she did when TB took this picture last week. Like all cats, Mouse likes to find a warm patch of sunshine in which to curl up and snooze. The only thing that bugs her is Little T who is quite mobile and crawls very fast. I hope to get a picture of the 2 of them together before Mouse takes off!

It hasn't started to rain yet but my joints feel the bad weather approaching. We're supposed to get pouring rain all weekend. April showers bring May flowers ... they better!

QOTD:

What is the craziest, most funny April Fool's joke that you have ever played or been a part of?

This is the last one that I can remember: In 2002, the kids and I went on a trip to Orlando, Florida. On the morning of April 1, we were about 2-3 hours away and we were just leaving the motel to get under way. I thunked my head really hard as I was getting into the car and the kids all asked, "Are you okay?" And I had an inspiration and sort of half collapsed in the driver's seat and moaned, no, I wasn't okay. The kids said, "Do you want to go to the doctor or the ER?" and I said no, I just wanted to go home. Shocked silence. I said I didn't think I could make the rest of the trip. More silence. I thought they would have got it almost right away ... I would drive back home 12 hours but couldn't drive 3 to Orlando? They didn't get it until I started laughing and then they all laughed like maniacs. That's the way my sense of humor works most of the time.

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the most, how would you rate your sense of humor or ability to laugh at yourself and take a joke?

Usually it's pretty good, like a 7 or 8. On some days, though, I'm feeling really blue and I would be more like a 4.
