What a birthday present

My favorite driver, Kasey Kahne has won the race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway! That makes four this season, he is on a roll, pun fully intended! I think that this was a very nice present for my Aunt Heather’s birthday. Isn’t that great? Jimmy Johnson is her driver and he called Lowe’s, “His house”. Well, that house has wheels don’t it (insert small evil grin here)? Bye!

Happy Birthday & Anniversary

Today is very special in my family! This is my Aunt/Grandma Heather’s 31st birthday! It is also her wedding anniversary! Robert and Heather have been married 2 whole years! Whoo hoo! We are getting ready to go to her house for a party so I have to keep it short! Bye!

She was (and is) so cute! I hope she got over the plaid pants though, not cute at all. They kind of look like my blanket, hmmm.

Happy Anniversary Aunt Heather and Uncle Robert! Wishing you many more birthdays and anniversaries! One giant kitty hug and kiss for both of you and that’s all folks! Wow, she grows so fast!

Just rolling along

Mom has had the flashy thing out again. She was chasing me around my yard taking pictures of me. How can a cat get some peace around here? Anyway, I thought you all might enjoy the pictures so here you go!

Oh, just forget it! I will just go back inside!

Cat Day

I hope that everyone is celebrating this great and glorious day! I gave myself this day after mom got a day. I have been running and fighting with Scooby, it has been great! I am going to do this every year! Maybe every month, no then it isn’t as special. We have lots of holidays coming up in this family so I will have plenty of party times. I am going to chase my mechanical mouse now, remind me to tell you all about him sometime. Go celebrate!

OUTSIDE

I am playing outside today! The only bad thing is mom keeps taking pictures of me. Well, she will not ruin my fun! I will just lie down in the soft, cool grass.

Now I can roll and scratch my side with the grass.

Finally, I begin my job. I am a guard cat. I watch everything and keep my humans (and brother) safe from harm! I wonder why mom laughed at me and told me to buy some underwear and a cape? I don’t mind the cape, that would be fun, but no way am I wearing undies! Maybe I will steal a pair of the kids and see how they feel. Just as an experiment! Bye!

I am back!

I have finally finished changing my blog! What do you think? It is snazzier than ever! I must take a moment to thank my umm ... Grandma (?) Heather for the new links! She is so sweet, when she wants to be! This is one of those "What?" moments that happens in life. I mean my mom is Heather's sister so that would make her my Aunt, but she is my dad's mom so now she is my Grandma. Well, my family tree needs some branches fast! Wired! So anyway, I can post and play again. If I missed your link just tell me and I will add it. So many new ones everyday, it is hard to keep up. I have a headache for all this family tree, no wait, family stick stuff so I am off to play! Oh, hi mom, what are you doing? I am posting on my blog, why? I have to get off? But MOM, I want to post some more! Crap, mom is taking the computer apart so I go to run! Wait Mom I didn’t say Bye yet!

Under Construction

I will not be posting for a few days. I am working on my blog. I am fixing my links and making it look cool! I am cool so my blog must be cool to match! I will see you in a few days! I will still read everybody’s blog I am just not posting! Bye!

Sad day

Mom is kind of sad today. She won't leave the house. She is thinking about her car. One year ago today, my mom was in a car accident. The car was totaled. Mom misses that car a lot! She loved it, and now it is gone. She is thankful that both my Grandma and mom made it out okay, but she still misses the car. I thought I would post a before and after picture so that my mom knows I miss it too! I used to love to walk all over it and sleep on the warm hood, ah the good old days!

This is my mom's baby car!

This is after the wreck.

Good-bye friend.

Happy Mothers Day

Happy Early Mother’s Day!

I want to say have a wonderful day to all of the mothers, grandmothers, and aunts! I love holidays! Go have fun!

Bags of presents hmm

The monsters went shopping with my humans tonight! They came by the house and gave me a few rubs and then they were gone. Poof, just like that! They bought Aunt Heather her mom’s day presents. I wonder what they got. I will just sneak on over here and take a peek. Well, no toys for me so they didn’t do very good. I am sending a toy up for my cat dad, Oreo, so he won’t feel left out. I have to go! I just realized that the tissue paper is out, and open!

Mom Day

Excuse me? Mom is getting a day? I heard my humans talking about mother’s day gifts and I do not like it! When is kitty day? We work hard to make our humans happy so why don’t we get a day? I am going to make a day just for cats. Let me see, I am going to make my cat day May 25th. Now all I have to do is leave a detailed shopping list for mom. I wonder what I should ask for. I need to think. You do not want to get a bad gift! I’ll let you know how it goes! Bye!

Explain your self

I want to give my mom a chance to defend her “story” to everyone. So I am going to turn over the keyboard now.

I have gotten comments along with many private emails asking me what my “story” is about and if it true. Unfortunately, yes, the story is true. I think that my story has touched some people and just confused others so I would like to explain.
We all say thing that show others how we truly feel about them. It is the most difficult with the ones I love the most. My main feeling of unhappiness came from my own realization that a relationship I believed was strong is not. Sometimes, it is hard to know when to let go of a relationship or when to fight to make it stronger. Other times that decision is made for you.
When you feel like you should provide “proof” in the relationship, it is time to let go and accept the limitations that are there. Yes, this is very hard to do. You might find a small hope in your heart that you can nurse and see if it grows, but having that hope hurts me more than it helps. Twenty-six years of hope has gotten me an unfair judgment, and I just need it to stop.
Letting go does not mean you stop loving the person. It just means you understand that some relationships just aren’t meant to grow or change. They are just there. I don’t want anyone to take any part of this post as advice. I am not the person to get advice from, obviously. I just wanted to help some people out there to understand what my “story” was about.
Who says that having two separate parts of your life is wrong? Isn’t it better to have the two halves than one whole that tears you apart? I am hoping that people may read this with their hearts rather than their minds. I pray that we all stop judging the people (and animals) in our lives and just allow the relationship to grow. Please remember that no one ever stays the same. Now, if the small growl I hear is any indication, Jamesie wants the keyboard back. Thank you listening.

Wow! My mom can really make you think can’t she? That is why I love her so much! Talk to you some more later; this post is going to be really long! Bye!

Teacher is back

Yes, I believe it is time for another lesson. This one is not for our people; this is for the smaller kittens out there. The lesson is simple, take a bath! Use your little pink tongue and clean your self! I have been teaching Scooby how to take a bath. He is not very good at it, but he tries. I think that it is simple enough for anyone to figure out, even Scooby! I don’t mind showing him. I get to make sure he does it right and that he knows I am in charge! So the lesson is actually for the big brothers and sisters out there, show them and they will learn it right. Just remember to tell them to back off the, um …, private areas!

Blessings

I am a very blessed cat! I have made so many new cat friends here on my blog! I love to tell you all about my life and hear your stories too! Then I started to think about my cat family and my human family, and you know what? I am very blessed. I have always been surrounded by love and warm, friendly people. I have days when I forget just what a great life I have, but then something will remind me. While I was posting pictures of my brother Scooby and myself, I was reminded to be thankful for every day we have together. Let all of your friends and family know how you feel about them. Nobody can say for sure when they have to cross the rainbow bridge and it is difficult to live with regrets. I wish I could have given my sister Crystal one last kitty kiss before she crossed the bridge. She acted like she hated them but I know she loved them, and me. I am going to make sure the Scooby knows just how blessed we are to be a family. Bye for now! P.S.: So sorry about the glowing eyes! Mom startled me.

Story time

My mom was telling me and my brother a story today. Someone told her something this past weekend that really hurt her. So she told me the following story. I hope you all like it. Scooby is posting the same story on his blog, but read it anyway!

Once there was a girl who liked to play games and imagine all kinds of interesting things. She was very happy doing this. As the girl grew up she changed. Instead of the outgoing child that she once was, lived an unhappy woman. The woman was unhappy because no matter what she did, people just couldn't see that she had changed. They still thought that she was playing games and telling lies. Eventually she changed again. She started to keep parts of her life hidden away from the people who didn't see how she had grown up. She tried very hard not to care, but it didn't always work. The parts of her life started to shift so that more and more was hidden and less was offered freely to the ones around her. No more did she give her heart away only to have it thrown right back. Her idea worked, for a while. Then gradually she started to want those around her to see how much she had changed, so she opened her heart again. The people that couldn't see her for what, and who, she had become suddenly saw her. She was a girl no more.

I think that mom knew this girl. She seemed sad while she told us the story. I want her to know that no matter what, she can be seen. I am going to go and stare at her. That will reassure her and hopefully get my ears rubbed. TTYL
