The Freckle Song
Hissy Fit Jones has written a song called “The Freckle Song.” You can sing along to the tune of “If You’re Happy and You Know It.” OK everyone, sing along… or don’t. Hissy doesn’t care either way. I got freckles in my ears, in my ears. I got freckles in my ears, in my ears. … Continue reading
Where in the World is Hissy Fit Jones?
I know, it’s too long between blog posts. But, honestly, WordPress’ latest format makes it hard as hell to create a blog post, and it frustrates our typist. See this photo of me? She tried for 30 minutes to shrink the size. Rest assured we are all doing fine. I got my teeth cleaned and … Continue reading
All the Latest by Hissy Fit Jones
Meow! I’m finally back! It’s been so long since our last post because lots of terrible things have been happening around here. Worst of all? Jen promised me that once the government shutdown ended, she would make me an appointment for a dental. As old as she is, that’s one promise she didn’t forget. She … Continue reading
Why I Don’t Like You by Hissy Fit Jones
Dear Diary, Jen has decided to relinquish the blog back to our control, and now I have to come up with cute and funny things to say to humans. But why? Why should I entertain a bunch of hairless homo-sapiens that don’t care about anything but themselves? Besides, humans look funny and they talk funny. … Continue reading
The Sad Story of an Unloved Cat
Once upon a time there was a poor, misunderstood kitty whose vet said he was too fat. His human caregiver, being quick to believe the rantings of an educated human over her incredibly wonderful cat, put him on a diet. It’s amazing I’m still alive. While it’s true that I have weighed as much as … Continue reading
The Spirit of the Season?
Ah, nothing brings out the sense of entitlement in some people like the holidays! From the so-called War on Christmas to the war on Starbucks cups, a good sense of moral outrage can really stir up the spirit of the season in some. This year, in addition to anger over not being wished a Merry … Continue reading
Christmas Trees and Self-Esteem
I have up a Christmas tree. It’s a 3-foot flimsy job I ordered on Amazon. It came with a bent stem that I broke while trying to fix it, but I was able to fix up the little guy with some wire so it will stand through this holiday season at least. I savor the … Continue reading
Finally, it’s Time to Vote!
Election Day is almost here! Admit it, you’re glad to be rid of all those horrible election ads, mailers, and phone calls for a few months. If you are still wondering how to vote this Tuesday, that means you have not fallen victim to the partisan drama, in which case I encourage you to ask … Continue reading
An Ordinary Saturday Morning
This morning I woke up around 4:30 AM thinking for some odd reason that it was Tuesday. I got up and went to the bathroom, then started downstairs to feed (and shut up) Yella Fella. Only then did it occur to me that perhaps it wasn’t Tuesday after all. I checked the phone and saw … Continue reading
The Aftermath of Michael
As some of you may know, I lived and worked in Northwest Florida for over 3 years. My former stomping grounds sustained massive damage from Hurricane Michael. I feel so helpless as I see people I know and care about posting photos of the damage to their homes on Facebook. None have power and many lack … Continue reading
