This is an entry for the Mookychick blogging competition, FEMINIST FLASH FICTION 2011. Enter now.
Thanks lovely Patsy for the info about the above!
Charlie says: Mine's a cattuccino with extra sprinkle of nip please.
Wonderful bloggie friends!
I can't wait for December, can you? It means, Christmas, holidays, pressies and fun work parties (LOL!) and more presents!! How exciting! I'm excited, I hope you all are too. And if you celebrate something else not Christmas then I hope you all have a fabulous celebration too! And please may I join? Yay!
See y'all in December!
p.s lovely Madeleine is having a Cool as a Cucumber Turn a Cliche into Something wonderful blogfest! Now I normally run away from blogfests but this sounds like "something up my street"! LOL! Details here:
Jingle bells all the way!

How wonderful to see a post from you!
Love the entry, good luck. :-)
Please, please, NOT work parties...shudder. LOL.
Kitty, my Christmas wish is that we see more of you and Charlie on your blog!
" a cattuccino with extra sprinkle of nip " Sound so good to Me, Charlie : )
I hope your mom make you one !
and Extra for me, Please...tee...heh..heh
Hey Charlie, I'll join you...make mine a double please!
I'd love to attempt the Cool as a Cucumber poem -- maybe I'll have time to get something in under the deadline.
You've got so much more Christmas spirit than I have! I should try to be more festive this year and drop my Bah Humbug snarliness that's getting a little too ingrained for me.
4 days to go for december :)
We like december, we finally get sunpuddles AND we get gifts!!
It sounds like you are on a writing streak, Jen! Good for you!
I am looking forward to Christmas and seeing my grandsons again. It will be fun!
Great entry, I love your piece.
Yes, bring on the Christmas holidays, we all need a break.
Love your poem, Kitty. Good luck with the competition.
You're right about the cliche thing - it does look like fun.
Roll on the holidays!
Hi Old Kitty .. Charlie is one special cat sharing your coffee with you .. glad he gets his own treats.
Good luck with the fests and competitions .. and enjoy the run up to Christmas .. busy time .. cheers Hilary
thanks for visiting. we are looking forward to Dec too... especially as it hasn't been so cole here this year.. and easier to prepare for xmas and all that comes with it. We ejoyed visiting your blog. Love Darcy and Bingley xx
There is NO WAY I can enter the feminist fiction contest after reading your fabulous entry. I mean, really, showing up the rest of us like that!
Glass ceiling beware. I'm going to have that in the back of my head all day.
I'm looking forward to the next holiday break. You'd think I'd be satisfied with my four-day Thanksgiving weekend, but I'm already dreaming of more time off.
Hi, Charlie!
Love Charlie. He has such great taste!
Looking forward to December too.
I don't think I qualify as a paid-up feminist, but I liked this one.
We hope you enter the competition and WIN. Tell Charlie to remember to get your Christmas present.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Hotta have that extra nip of nip. I used to call that Happy Hippy coffe backin the day.
Charlie, it sounds like Old Kitty might be a little bit excited about December coming.
And we like that you like catticino and nip sprinkles. Numm, num.
I know! I can't believe December is almost here! I'm excited too!
I can't turn anything into a poem. I am just not a poet. But we hope you do. Bet you can do a good one.
Hi there Charlie. Some extra nip coming right up. Take care and have a great week.
fun stuff! Ooo, I'd love a real cappuccino... That Charlie. Scratches to him and hope you have a lovely December. good luck w/the flash fiction! :o) <3
Happy Monday, sweeties.....we'd love to join Charlie for a cattuccino!!!!!!!
Charlie! Come here and give your Aunt Betty a kiss! I have missed you!
Cattucino! I love it!
Thanks for your welcome back message on my post - I do hope I'll be able to visit a little more often now, it's good to catch up on lovely Charlie and his fantastic tail! I'm so sorry to hear you lost so much work recently, I so often forget to back up everything.
Yes I think I'm looking forward to December now - one more frantic week and then things will calm down ever so slightly and I can think about Christmas and get some lovely twinkly lights up! xx
I am so ready for December - can't wait to set the NaNo novel aside and finalise edits on my other story.
Bet my cats would love some nip right about now...
Charlie, a catticino, LOL!
Love your haiku (never sure if I get that word right!) Also love Charlie's cattucino (groan!) Mind you, our dogs, Tommy & Leyla like a mug of Boneville at bedtime! (Showing my age there, I fear :-))
All best
Karla
I love that! Glass ceiling beware:) And thanks for the link, I think I'll join you:)
I know, looking forward to december too:)
Cute Kitty. Mine is similar...white with grey markings, though with a black nose.
Charlie seems rather studious today...
Hi handsome Charlie it's so good to see you and your Mom!

Charlie really is the cutest (don't tell my cat I said that).
Good luck on your entry! Cool poem. :D
Does Charlie like to sneak drinks out of your cup? Peaches keeps thinking about it.
Have a wonderful week!
We'll be having a roast something. Big enough for all the cats!
nice post! thanks for sharing... God bless you...
I love December too! We got our tree up and it makes me smile every morning. Cheers to all the festivities and fun!
I feel the exact same way about the coming month. I love the lead up to Christmas. I started listening to Christmas songs on Thanksgiving Day. Hope Charlie enjoyed his cattucino!
"cattucino" I love it!!!
I have to say it seems like yesterday I was sitting here wishing everyone a Happy New Year...where has the year gone???????
(((((hugs)))) to you and Charlie! Enjoy the season!
Can't wait for Christmas to arrive! I need a vacation :)
Thank you for sharing these interesting links. Charlie had better not have too much cattuccino or he'll be up all night ;)
Yes. More posts from you and Charlie. In years past Christmas has NOT been a good time for me, well the whole fall and winter bit hasn't. This year it seems to be brightening up.
Hope I can keep up with all of you this season.
All I want for Christmas is for all my Friends and their little one to have the best of the season and be very happy!
That is enough for this old Bird.
I'm glad you're more in the Christmas spirit than I am! I'll get there, though - once we get the tree up I'm sure I'll be singing Christmas carols all over the place. :)
Enjoyed the haiku. Charlie is so cute. Bless you for giving my blogfest a shout out.
Will chekc out the flash competition too.
I like plenty of nip too Charlie, good luck Mum :-) X X X
I'll take some of that cattuccino with an extra sprinkle of nip as long as it's nonfat and low in calories. Gotta get ready for those holiday meals.
I love December (unless the weather isn't good). :D
Hope Charlie enjoys his cattuccino.
Love the haiku. :)
I'm excited for December, too!
And I'm also participating in Madeleine's blogfest; looking forward to reading your entry!
Wow, I can hardly believe that December is almost here! Where in the world did 2011 go? Yes, I'm ready for some fun time. Wish we lived closer. I'd love to party with you and Charlie!
I am sooo looking forward to December and the holidays too! Love this time of the year. Work parties don't seem to happen here...not sure if that is a good or bad thing...the jury is still out on that one! LOL!
Will have to pop over and sample your blogfest entry!
Old Kitty, if you're going to be in Canada in mid-December, please drop by! You can help us decorate the tree.
Love your entry!
Love your Haiku! Very well done! Will be interesting to see the cliche entries. Sometimes they really CAN be divine, used in surprising ways.
December is a great month with all the fun and festivities. And a great time to try a cattuccino with extra nip--yea Charlie!
Hope December is everything that you hope for! : )
December arrives here in Virginia USA tomorrow morning. It's evening now. Jen's puttering around in her wheelchair. It's dark outside. I'm here also to thank you for that lovely review of my Ozark Memory story !!!
Mookychick. What a delicious title for a competition. And your poem is delicious too with all those alliterative Bs. Then those hissing S's. Then the sudden surprising twist, another B word --beware. If I were a judge, I'd be impressed/I AM impressed!!
Jen says you and Charlie have a great December!!!
Ann Best, Memoir Author
I can't believe Dec is here tomorrow! I'm not ready for it to be Nov yet!!! I need more time :)
Oh Charlie, we'd join you for sure!
You have such wonderful energy! Have I already told you that? You really do. :)
Your entry is excellent, and I loved the cattuccino! Hee-hee! Charlie is adorable. Or since we're talking cliches, should I call him the cat's meow? ;)
Yes, December will be fun!
this is the most fun and wonderful time of the year!
Charlie, enjoy.... it looks delish
Glad you are doing well. Things should spice up this month for sure! Thank you for all your visits and purrs for Yoko - Mom has had her hands full trying to keep up with all of us!
Holiday hugs to you and Charlie! Good luck with your entry. Love it!
Hope you're having a lovely week. December is here! :)
happy december!!!
BoBo Salem,
Meow Meow Family
Your poem is absolutely fabulous! Love it.
I love December, too--but not the cold. That blogfest sounds fun;)!
Hey, Charlie, nice to make your acquaintance. First visit to your blog and my human just might go on some of the creative adventures you're suggesting!
Have a great weekend, my new furriend!
Tom
NOW, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Jilda and I watched the film Holiday with Kate Winslet. Part of it was filmed in Surrey England.
We love that movie. We'll be watching one of our Christmas movies every few days until then.
Hello Old Kitty and Charlie - I hope you're enjoying tons of holiday parties and sharing lots of Christmas cheer!
I can't wait to see Charlie in his Father Christmas hat. ;)
Gosh ...
First part of the post, I thought you were describing ME! heeheheheheeheh except for the glass ceiling part!!
I am sure Dec will be a fun time for everyone! Chinese will be celebrating Dongzhi Festival (Winter Solstice Festival) 2 or 3 days before Christmas.
You and Charlie are cordially invited to join us for our "glutinous rice balls' eating competition! :)
xxx to you both - always!!
I hear the sound of tinkling shards of glass on the floor.
Love the idea of the cliche blogfest. I'll keep that one in the back of my mind.
