Friendly Fill-Ins Week 504

53 comments

 

Hi everyone. Time for the fill-ins. I came up with the first two sentences and my wonderful co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with the second two. If you didn’t do a post for them, you can also answer in the comment section. Thank you to all who participate. Don’t forget to add your link to the hop so everyone can visit you. The link is open until Wednesday night.

1. I feel like ______________________________ whenever I think about _______________.
2. January is a good month to _____________________.
3. _________ is nonnegotiable in my life.
4. I could give up _________ as long as _________.
My answers:
1. I feel like crying whenever I think about the future. The 2 most important people in my life, my mom and husband are so much older than me that I know I will be alone eventually, so I try not to think about it.
2. January is a good month to declutter and cook comfort foods.
3. Having cats is nonnegotiable in my life.
4. I could give up chocolate as long as it is Lent. That is the only time of year I give it up.
We are joining Feline Friday now hosted by Messymimi
My flashback is from January 2015. Angel Lucy and I made a mini snowman. Penelope has a similar face to Angel Lucy.

  1. Adorable flashback, Ellen! Awww, we have some similar concerns, and so we try to focus on good health practices, when we can. XO

  2. Thaty is a sweet picture of Lucy and her snowman! Real snow from outside??

    1. I feel like such a worrywort whenever I think about Greg’s health concerns.
    2. January is a good month to tbinkl about what I might do in the yard/garden when springtime arrives .
    3.Christ and Church attendance is nonnegotiable in my life.
    4. I could give up carbs as long as the other foods are plentiful and delicious!. (In fact I am doing that right now…)

    1. Thank you. Yes, it was real snow. And thanks for these great answers. I am sorry your husband has health issues though. My hubby just ordered his seeds. XO

  3. Your #1 is something I think about all the time. I’m not prepared to be on my own even though I’ve done it before – – – this time it would be different because I’m OLD! LOL Love Filling in the Blanks – thanks for keeping it going.

    Hugs, Pam

  4. Angel Lucy look like she was having fun with the snowman. It is difficult to think about aging in the loss of family. It’s good to know that you have your niece and her children so close and so good.

  5. Sweet flashback of Angel Lucy. I’ve been solo several times, and for long periods of time during my lifetime. With that said, I try to live each day to the fullest. January is a good month to plan for the rest of the year. Having a cat is nonnegotiable in my life. I can give up chocolate once I set my mind to do so.

  8. 1. I feel like a very lucky woman whenever I think about how lucky I am to have my wonderful husband.
    2. January is a good month to start spring cleaning.
    3. My hubby and our kitties is nonnegotiable in my life.
    4. I could give up Cheetos as long as there is ice cream in my life.

    Thank you for co-hosting the Friendly Fill-Ins.

    Have a fabulous day and weekend. Scritches to all the kitties and lots of scritches to the kitties. ♥

  12. The Hubby is still surprised that he made it past the age of 30!
    Silly man.
    And I’m just getting started, especially when Henry sits on my toes as I type this comment…it’s so sweet.

  13. I enjoyed the fill-ins.
    2. January is a good month to cook good soups, stews, chili, any filling home cooked meal. I do it all year long though. No law says you can’t make a pot of soup in the summer. It amazes me the people who think that just shouldn’t be done!
    1. I feel like smiling 29 hours a day whenever I think about family coming over!!
    3. Honesty is non-negotiable in my life. Since I was a child. I swear, I think my DNA is imprinted with it.
    4. I can give up anything edible as long as there is a good reason for it.

    1. Thank you. And thank you for these great answers. My hubby made beef stew this week and I made cream of broccoli. Family coming over is the best. XO

  14. Charlee: “Please don’t cry about the future! Whatever else happens, you will always have us ― your readers ― and your lovely cats!”
    Chaplin: “Meanwhile our Dada is over here trying to figure out something else to give up for Lent besides chocolate …”

  15. Your first Fill-In is a worry of mine… a lot of anxiety over it. Jerry and I are the same age but for many reasons I want to be the one that goes first. I have no family left on either of my parent’s sides and no one to really trust or rely on. Trying not to think about it is good strategy. I do that too. I understand about wanting to cry. You do have some wonderful family with your niece and her family. They will be there for you. Angel Lucy and the snowman❤️
    My Fill-Ins~>
    1. I feel like running away from home whenever I think about mopping our tile floors. I would take carpet any old day. I love to vacuum… It’s therapeutic for me.
    2. January is a good month to go to the beach. It’s usually perfect here on the Southwest Gulf Coast of Florida but it’s been pretty chilly here for most of December and January.
    3. A warm or hot bath is nonnegotiable in my life. I hate showering.
    4. I could give up sweets as long as I have to. Just don’t make me give up homemade noodles or salty.
    Happy Friday, Meowing Crew!

    1. Thank you for these great answers. I pray that I go first, but I know it is not likely. I am the opposite- don’t like baths. XO

  16. Cute flashback of Angel Lucy.

    Great fill ins. Of course I had the same answer for #3. I did have crying for #1 but for a different reason. Although, I could have written the same one you did. The future is a scary thought.

  18. 1. I feel like _crying_ whenever I think about _the possibility of being alone in my older age_.
    2. January is a good month to _crawl beneath the covers and hibernate until spring_.
    3. _My faith_ is nonnegotiable in my life.
    4. I could give up _candy_ as long as _I have a good substitute like ice cream or cake_.

    Have a good weekend, Ellen! xo

    1. Thank you. I don’t have to give it up, I could choose something else like coffee, but that would be impossible. XO

  20. guyz…jan ewe arry izza good month ta skip…N feb ewe arry…N sum timez march…we due knot
    like winterz time heer in de land oh trout 😾💙🥶🐾‼️

  22. That’s an adorable photo. I know what you mean by #1. It’s not easy, but as long as we have our cats we’re never really alone. Some people can’t understand that though.

  24. Your niece and the children love you, I don’t think they will ever allow you to be truly alone. I hope they would care for you the way they would have cared for your sister had she lived.

    You and Angel Lucy made a great snowman, thank you for linking up with Feline Friday.

  25. Angel Lucy and the snowman, OMC – cutness overload!! Supurr fill-ins, though #1 made us sad. But mew will never be alone with all us cat bloggers, we’re a worldwide clowder of support and friendship, drop in any time zone at anytime, and one of us will be there! 😻🐾😻🐾😻🐾

  26. I understand your dread. When my husband and I were young the eight year age gap cemented our compatibility. We later teased one another about who got to “go” first because neither could imagine living without the other. That playful banter isn’t so funny anymore. I’m sorry for going so dark, and please know that I am thankful for those precious decades and the fact my husband’s doing well these days.

    You and I share so many life experiences, it’s amazing. Outside some movie genre preferences, we think a lot alike. lol Nic Cage forever! 😉 Hugs and best wishes, my dear.

    1. Thank you. We do have a lot in common. I am glad your husband is doing better. It is a scary thought to think of that future loss and we never know who will go first. My hubby’s folks were 11 yrs apart and she died at age 56, he made it to 92. XO
