About Me
- Bossy Betty
- In my old age, I plan to become the crazy cat lady in the neighborhood--the woman both pitied and viewed with a strange sense of fascination by all. That life of fame will have to wait though. These days I am a hard-workin' teacher and mama to two boys.

This pic will be burned in my head today- thank you for the reminder! Happy Thanksgiing to you and yours-
I fully expect to be feeling like that cat later today, as family tells me to eat, eat, eat! Have a happy thanksgiving, dear Betty.
Happy Thanksgiving, Betty.
I saw that picture in my dashboard and actually thought "Now where'd she get the picture of my cat?"
Seriously. It's dead on.
Enjoy your turkey day, if you can keep the cat away, that is.
Lol! Maybe no turkey for Mabel this year! Happy Thanksgiving! :)
Happy Thanksgiving, dear Betty.
Right back atcha, dear one. May the triptophan complete your contentment.
OMG! That cat is too funny!
Happy Thanksgiving, Betty. Try to focus on what you have and not what you don't have. God bless.
Happy Thanksgiving, Betty! xx
Happy Thanksgiving! And someone needs to tell chubby kitty when she's had enough turkey.
Beautiful Mabel! You are just too adorable!! Happy Thanksgiving to you BB! I hope today will bring you peace and lotsa love! Take care
x
Oh, Mabel. Cautionary indeed!
Much love,
Pearl
I wish you a Thanksgiving of happy, Betty. I know it's gonna be hard, but you can do it. :)
((hugs))
Happy Thanksgiving, Betty!
That is the happiest, fattest cat ever! Happy Thanksgiving!
We have a cat similar to our cat, she is Miss Cody, she likes to eat but we have had to put her food away and only give a few kibbles a day..the others 3 are light eaters until they know momma has the treats in a bag or shaker I let it rip and from everywhere in our tiny home they come running including Miss Cody she gets a few..We already ate our turkey feast, served, baked, roasted turkeys, hams, pork loins, pies I made this summer for the feast from wild blackberries at a food pantry that serves people who work in excess of 50=60 hours a week and still have only food for their tiny babies, children..oh, my the need is so great..They take home food in backpacks loaded up for their friday, sat, & sunday..So we are tired, going to a movie and pie at a relative's home (she works in a hospital worked today) very late, sleeping friday, we will work saturday and sunday too..Not everyone in USA gets today off nor do they have food to boot, it is raining, cold and windy about 300 days of the year in the pacific northwest, with unemployment over 16% in this county many are hungry so we help a lot..just be thankful you have so very much Bossy Betty, luv your blog, God will heal your heart from your divorce.Remember when a door closes a window opens up it really really does..ciao blessings to you! & peace, Love and JoyXXXX()()()()()()!
Mabel looks like she knows what she's talking about :)
Happy Thanksgiving Betty

Happy Thanksgiving, Betty!
Betty, hope you had a good Thanksgiving with your Son. Just take one day at a time. Christmas is just one day. You will be able to do it. We just know you will.
haha...yes i might need to back away at this point...smiles.
happy thanksgiving betty!
guess your boy is home from school right? how is college going?
Hi BB,
I'm catching up on you this week. I have been thinking about you this week. Bless your heart. I hope you and Evan had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friend.
Madi can identify with Mabel...we've dubbed Madi a
'meat seeking missle'. She breaks the sound barrier on her way to the fridge when she hears it open.
Hugs Madi and Mom
All I can say is BURP!
Mabel, Mabel,
Big and wide
Left the table
Two feet wide.
I know just how she feels.
Hi BB,
Hope you are hanging in there! Here's hoping you had a really good day! Your cat is so darn cute and fluffy! Love her!
Hugs from me!
Linda
I felt like Mabel today.
Stuffed kitty! A gourmet dish.
Happy Thanksgiving Betty.
Aarrgh~ Too late! I read the posting and saw the picture, AFTER we had Turkey Day dinner!
I'll try to remember the wise words for leftovers!
Hugs~
LOL ~ oh yes ~ that kitty is stuffed! At least she doesn't have to wear a tight belt! Ha!
Wishing you a beautiful weekend dear Betty!
xo Catherine
Happy Thanksgiving Betty!
I feel like Mabel right now...
I was actually pretty good yesterday in the eating department. Unlike Mabel. :)
Hope you had a nice holiday, Betty.
Now, that's a content cat.;)
Hope you had a great celebration and felt just like Mabel, that means the dinner was good.;))
xoxo
Hope you had a great day with your son!
Yep, that's how I felt yesterday.

I might resemble Mable a little.
Yeah, I was almost to that point yesterday. :) I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
That is one big cat-- just waiting for a good tummy rub :-)

Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Right now, I feel like your cat!
That picture is just priceless! But you couldn't have chosen a better one...it's how we all feel after the big meal, isn't it? Wouldn't you think we'd learn??? xxoo
I know exactly how she feels. We are camped up in the mountains for two weeks and went back to town for Thanksgiving and went back up the next day. We left with plenty of leftovers and once we got back up here, somebody gave us a HUGE container of stuffing and gravy. I don't just look like Mable, I am Mable...
