Attitude Already

Who me? Maybe. Let's SEE!

Astonishing Animals are Amusing.

Aardvark
And here we have an aardwolf pup--who knew THESE existed!? (thanks Rosie!)
(Giant) Anteater
Armadillo




an observation: Animals that begin with A are a little odd... (though I confess to liking them for that...)


This is ALSO an Armadillo... the Glasgow amphitheater, nicknamed, the Armadillo... (I've been there... it isn't nearly so strange inside... and I LIKE its strangeness outside)







Appetizing Arrangements

Asparugus

Artichokes


And Veggies that start with A take my #1 and #1 favorite spot! Who knew!?








Anomalous Apostrophes


yeahno





This last is the funniest to me...

Okay, so that doesn't explain my attitude... but it's there. Trust me.
And an idea I stole directly from Alex?  Sharing blogs... for today... two A Blogs that I never miss!

Alex Cavanaugh
And Alliterative Allomorph with Jessica Bell

Good luck on A to Z progress, gang!

    I REALLY can't stand apostrophes in their wrong place's. haha just kidding on that last word. Seriously, people need to go to school! *twitch twitch* Especially if they're in the sign-writing business!

    My co-workers are notorious for misplacing apostrophes. I then give them a hard time over it. You'd think they'd start putting them in the right place just to get me to shut up.

    A really fun post!

    My hubby's favourite animal is the Giant Anteater - he's always wanted one. But I'm a bit in love with the baby Ardvark, how cute?
    Great start to the A-Z.

    Are you going to do all your A-Z challenges in pictures? That would be like an extra added twist.

    Apparently the people who are responsible for naming ugly animals have something against the letter "A".

    *giggles* Thanks so much, everyone! As for pics in the A to Z--a lot of them. There are a couple topics I want to hit more completely and won't go this route, but I thought an animal, a food and a writing thing, if I could do it in brief, was a nice route for a lot of the month.

    That aardvark is so cool - part pig, part donkey, part elephant. All in a tiny package.

    Have an amazing April.

    Great post! I found you through the A-Z Blogging Challenge, but I read a few other posts and something caught my eye. Your mention of Harry Potter fanfics! I too explored my writing by writing a HP fic, so we already have something in common! :D

    In my quest for word suggestions on FB/Twitter/etc., for "A" I received "aardwolf". They're cute little canines that eat insects in Africa. Less exotic than it's A-kin features above, but cute, and if you hadn't heard of them, I wanted to share :)

    The Armadillo and Anteater are just too cool...weird, very weird, but in a cool way. They seem like from another planet or out of a fantasy novel/movie.
