I feel in my heart that my cat is somehow hurt that I only post photos of George. She read some of your comments yesterday and was quite chagrined to find that George is FAMOUS. Famous! Why, it seems to have upset her immensely.
She’s been sulking in her despair all day. Perhaps if she caught a frisbee or two in mid-air she would be as popular as George.
She could care less, really. But I thought I’d try to make her feel like she’s a contributing member of our family by posting some photogenic pictures of her. She really is quite the beauty.
And now, before I go, I leave you with these burning questions:
What was your first word as a child?
What are you allergic to?
What tastes best covered in chocolate?
What was the last name of the person you first kissed?
Have you ever REALLY cried from happiness? What was the situation?
I anxiously await your answers. So until then, my friends . . .

First word was Jesu. My mother was trying to get me to say "Baby Jesus". When I said Jesu, she called her family, saying that I would grow up to be a nun. How very wrong she was.

Peanut butter tastes best covered in chocolate. No wait, strawberries. No, vanilla ice cream!

Yes, I cried at the Van Gogh exhibit in DC while standing in front of his "Still Life with Quinces and Lemons". It took my breath away.

Cried from happiness, yes. Many times. Last time I remember is when I flew to AZ over Thanksgiving to see my siblings and their family and my mom. You bet I cried!

I'm allergic to nothing - that I know of.
Almonds are my favorite chocolate covered thingy.
Roberts was the last name of my first love.
I cried from happiness when my daughter was born. It was either that...or the fact that the local hadn't kicked in when they stitched me up! :)
I don't know what my first word was. I am allergic to way too much stuff to list. I got four achy shots yesterday to fight it all;) I am not a chocolate person. I know. Weird. Spaulding. And yes, I cry tears of happiness. A lot.
Blackie is the younger female version of our Gus ...
What was your first word as a child?
What are you allergic to? Penicillin ... and black seeded grapes.
What tastes best covered in chocolate? Umm .. well just about anything .. ahem
What was the last name of the person you first kissed? If I could remember who that was ... I cant. I am going to say Singer .. because it was probably my mom or dad.
Have you ever REALLY cried from happiness? Oh yes.
What was the situation? I am sure it was during one of the Lost recap shows I was SO happy I was right about something .. NO! I am kidding, I really cant remember a specific .. OH WAIT .. it was at my cousin's daughter's wedding, I was so happy I cried. Phew.

I don't kiss and tell...
Yes! I have cried from sheer and utter happiness. It was Christmas Eve last year and my daughter told me she was pregnant!
What was your first word as a child?
I have no idea. Probably 'Stop it!' (I have three brothers)
What are you allergic to?
Cashews, poison ivy/oak, and ragweed (funny - they are all related)- oh and erithromyacin
What tastes best covered in chocolate?
Peanut butter or caramel or strawberries or raisins or (I can't make up my mind.)
What was the last name of the person you first kissed?
Smith - I know, so generic
Have you ever REALLY cried from happiness? What was the situation?
Yes, seeing and old friend unexpectedly.
dada, pollen, strawberries, ashley in that order. As for crying from happiness I had an experience of that on holiday.
We were approaching New York and our driver told us to "look hard at 2 o'clock" as we came towards a bridge. As we came to the brow of the hill the whole of the New York skyline opened up to us and at that moment he played Frank Sinatra singing New York. All the women cried!!!
Pictures with Blackie AND George might boost her popularity!
First word: absolutely no idea. I'm jealous that you know yours. I wish I could ask Mom. *sniff*
Allergies: Even though I sneeze five to ten times in a row, every day, all year, sometimes several times a day, I didn't have any reactions to the testing I got done. I can tell you that I started all this sneezing business right after I had my second daughter. Don't know what that means...
Best Covered in Chocolate? TMTN (Too Many To Name) But if there was a gun to my head, I might say pretzels. Damn, now I want some.
Last Name: I just can't think of his last name, but his first was Anthony. I found out later that he was the kind of guy who liked to look at himself in the mirror when he talked. Not my favorite trait in a person.
Happy Crying: You are not going to believe this and I can't even believe that I'm admitting to it. For the last few years, if I laugh really, really hard, I start to sob. Not happy sobbing though, but really crying. It's kind of scary actually. But it comes from laughing loud and long. Go figure.
First word as a child? I believe I've heard a story that it was, "No, Al." (Al was our cat....)
Allergies? It used to be nothing... Now, I'm pretty sure I have the usual spring allergies.
Chocolate? Oh geesh - everything?! Raspberries, strawberries, orange stuff.... oh! Peanut butter!
First Kiss? Well, Bailey (aka James) in, like, 1st grade, I think. On the cheek, of course!
Cried from happiness? I've simply cried out of happiness - driving home from my weekend with the hubby when he proposed, my wedding day, the day we closed on our house, when I found out my sister delivered her baby safe and sound, when I met my goddaughter, when I was prayed over at church during my cancer scare (sounds strange to be crying out of happiness - but I don't think I've ever felt so cared for and loved)...
Blackie is gorgeous! You are blessed with wonderful four legged friends.
First word? No idea!
Allergic to grass, milk and wheat.
Chocolate covered almonds... no strawberries... no coffee beans..
First kiss? Mike Hagen 8th grade.
Cried when my babies were born!
Hmmm...First word as a child, I don't remember. Been way too many years ago. I'm allergic to Septra (antibiotic). Chocolate covered stuff, I am not a huge fan of chocolate but I really like chocolate covered raisins fairly well. The last name of the guy I first kissed was McConnell. Crying from happiness is when The Hubby walked into his surprise 50th birthday party I put together, his joy and expression.
What was your first word as a child?First word was "Dada." I was a daddy's girl from the very beginning!
What are you allergic to?Up until having my wisdom teeth out I would've said "nothing." Now I know I'm allergic to one thing: Percocet. (Dang it!)
What tastes best covered in chocolate?Peanut butter, pretzels, raisins, my finger, it just doesn't matter as long as it's chocolate!
What was the last name of the person you first kissed?Kiss on the cheek (2nd grade): J. Elliot
Kiss kiss (sophomore): J. Hamlin
Have you ever REALLY cried from happiness? What was the situation?I have. Many times, but I'm a "crier." The last happy cry was last Saturday at Grandma's. I got her a card that sings "You Are My Sunshine," her favorite song to sing to me when I was little. She cried as she listened to it (over and over and OVER) and it just really touched me.
Great questions, CG! And by the way, tell Blackie I think she's gorgeous!
What was your first word as a child? I don't know.What are you allergic to? NothingWhat tastes best covered in chocolate? Gandied ginger.What was the last name of the person you first kissed? David Thompson. Actually, he kissed me, which shocked the heck out of me. We were 13. :-)

cheetos puffs dipped in chocolate pudding rock.
nichols was the first bos last name... we were maybe 3
last week when brdley joel was born tears of happiness flowed!
First word was probably mom. Who knows. Probably my mom. Not allergic to anything. Yes to pb. First kiss? Bowerman. Cry to happiness all too often, too many times to name.
First word: Daddy. Allergies: spring tree pollen. Chocolate covered: almonds. First kiss: Foss. Cried from happiness: many times. From loving my kids, from beautiful music, from moving words in a beautifully-written book, etc etc.
What a very beautiful cat! (yes, George is very handsome too).
Boringly enough my first words were da-da and ma-ma, at least according to my babybook.
I am, sadly, allergic to mangoes. Which are so delicious.
Just about anything tastes wonderful when covered in chocolate, but--perhaps strawberries. I have a creative friend who once served fresh garlic cloves dipped in chocolate. It was not as bad as one would expect.
Schwartz. And it was a kiss on stage, but we soon progressed.
No, I cry easily, but never from happiness. Perhaps from beauty, but that is not the same thing.
