Thanks for the mention of my giveaway post, Chris. 🙂
I immediately checked my lip balm and was glad to see that it had none of the bad ingredients, pfeww, saved me the trouble of switching brands
A recent post from Janna..Guest Post & Giveaway – How To Save A Life by Sloan Parker
So true about the fully dilated cat eyes. Seriously.
I got carried away by Freebook sifter. Thanks for that one! Chaos is looking a little, um, largish in the butt? Maybe it’s an illusion.

The Freebook Sifter is so much easier to use than the Amazon site!
Thanks,
Donna
seriously angry about the lip balm thing… I’m a pretty avid fan of the lip balm & up until the last 3 minutes my favorite had mentha in it. It is no longer my favorite.

I love Wumo 😀 They are so funny and naughty too

The “stupid onions” is definitely Larry. Loved the Pin Ups. Chaos looks like “The Hulk”.
Loved the Pseudo-Mobius chair – thanks for the link. Ha! Something the cats won’t go on OR get hair all over, or that I have to kick them off of so I can sit down. But I’d miss their warm spots…
Thank you for the linkity!
Chaos is impersonating a pillow I see 🙂
I’d loose all my knitting needles in that chair, then fall on my face getting out to pick them up. I do have to say that for a cracked lip nothing works better for me than Blistex, which I’m sure has all the bad stuff.
I love that free book sifter! 🙂

Not sure you’ll ever catch up on blog reading? Yeah, me either. 😉
Love the movie maps!
My cat could be Pavlov’s dog. She’s predictable like that. I know not every cat is like her, though.
A recent post from Nicole..Friday Reads: Girl in the Steel Corset
I really liked One Grain More. I saw it via one of my friends on FB, which is weird because he isn’t GF at all, just a huge musical fan.
