JK,
Think that I’ve “been there, done that” for some of the above, must add others to repertoire, they have me ROTFL.
As always you brighten my day – and 100% I’m not being sarcastic. 🙂

Happy to share daily fun!
Well Almost Forgot…hope it’s still Oct 1st around your n’hood:

October. Rabbit! Rabbit!
Almost missed it!!!

In a few short hours the clock will strike midnight and a new day and month will roll over! And you know what that means… It’s time to prepare for the first of October and all that can be yours by saying “rabbit, rabbit!”

The first words out of your mouth on the first day of October must be “rabbit, rabbit”. This is doubly important if your birthday occurs this month. Saying “Rabbit, rabbit” will ensure good luck all month long.

Thanks KJ, reminding me to get some caramel today that is! Caramel custard sounds divine!

I love grumpy cat, after all, she can’t help it that her puffy little lips and cheeks make her look like she is frowning…it’s how she’s made! I’m sure she’s smiling on the inside, it just doesn’t look like it!

And Happy Yom Kippur, that is if you can say Happy Yom Kippur and not be offensive. 🙂
