Meaningful Monday: Pearl, Why You Little...

Remember the kid who had to sit next to the teacher's desk to keep out of trouble?  In the blogosphere, that kid is Pearl.  After hearing the phrase Pearl, Why You Little... so frequently as a child, it became the natural choice for her blog title.

Sassy, isn't she?

Pearl hails from Minneapolis and regales us regularly with tales of her daily commutes with the Metropolitan Transit Commission,  her cats Liza Bean Bitey (of the Minneapolis Biteys) and Dolly Gee Squeakers (formerly of the Humane Society Squeakers),  chili contests, the local bar scene (gotta respect a woman who loves her beer), neighbors stranger than herself and her family, and now... Chore Monkeys!   To top it all off, she gives us scenic tours of Northeast Minneapolis and shares her ipod playlist for our listening pleasure.

Do bloggers get any more BadAss than Pearl?  I think not!  So Pearl, this cat's for you!

Thanks for making my Mondays more meaningful!

Meaningful Monday: The Surly Writer

There's an awesome writer out there who's fairly new to the blogosphere and she's taken the place by storm.  It's none other than that mistress of words, Michelle Hickman, also known as The Surly Writer. 

She calls herself Surly, but her sensitivity and thoughtfulness shine through.  Michelle stories are engaging, well crafted and thought provoking. Right now she's in the midst of a move and switching jobs, so she's sure to have a lot to write about in the coming weeks!  I highly recommend that if you don't already know Michelle you make her acquaintance. 

Michelle makes not just Mondays, but every day of the week meaningful.  So, Michelle, this cat's for you:

It would definitely make a statement if you put it on your desk at the new job!  Enjoy it in good health!

Meaningful Monday: Indigo & iDifficult

I know Mondays are hard for a lot of people.... you know, what with going back to work after the weekend and all.  It would be nice if there was something to make Mondays more meaningful.

So, from now on, every Monday I'm going to give out my BadAss award to at least one writer who has added meaning to my life...  who has given me a reason to get up in the morning...  who has restored my will to live... who has given me some LOLZ, or even better yet, made me THINK! 

 
This week, my BadAss
award is going out to that
dynamic duo, IndigoWrath and iDifficult.

These two British gentlemen have taken me on many adventures with them as they search the universe for the perfect curry.  Go check them out and they will take you to such exotic places as Slobbering-under-the-Bed or Paralytic-in-the-Wardrobe.  The Euthanasia Curry House will undoubtedly be on the tour and there may even be invisible zebras, bears or badgers along the way.

So, my dear chaps... this award's for you...

Hope it makes your Monday more meaningful!

Love,
CatLady

P.S. And while we're at it... let's also send these gems along to The Friggin Loon and to Gayle over at Gramme's Blog, who've been my top BadAss Sassers this week!  Frigginloon's been keeping us up to date on the latest news for some time now and Gayle's fairly new to the blogosphere, so go over and give them some love!

Wow!  Four BadAsses in one day!
