Reminder...

There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.

To these people I say grow up.

Here's a bit of info people...the web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty site has disappeared.

I pay for this site. It's mine. That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't, it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

*gets off soapbox*

Happy Birthday Gracie!
So one year ago today we brought home a tiny, mangy little grey cat. We had talked for a few weeks about looking into bringing home a second cat for Mika but we hadn't really gone to look. It was the weekend and we hit the PetSmart for some cat food. We glanced at the cages of available pets and Love saw this rather unattractive little grey cat. We went home and he couldn't get her out of his head. You have to understand, this is the guy who still claims he doesn't really like cats though between you and me, he's a big fan of them these days. And a real softy for our girls too.

Anyway, he kept saying all week that if she was there next weekend, he wanted to bring her home. The man who always said he "tolerated" my cats actually wanted one himself. So the next weekend, we went back and sure enough, she was still there. She had been found as a stray and had three kittens. She was only like 2 years old.

Personally, I wasn't really won over. But he saw something in her and I wasn't going to tell him no. He had his heart set on her so much.

We had arranged to pick her up from the woman who ran the rescue program that Sunday at her house nearby. We brought her the money and she gave us the kitty. It was a rough first month. Between keeping her isolated until we tracked down what was wrong with her eyes (Florida Keratopathy otherwise known as "Florida Spots"), her beating up on Mika, her destructive need to scratch and destroy things...I really didn't think it was going to work out.


Gracie - August 22, 2004


Then, I don't know. Things started to level out. This crazy wild cat that I never wanted in the first place started to settle in. She and Mika started to get along. And she started to lose some of the mangy, ratty look she had. She just...started to fit in. And behind all that spit and vinegar was a really sweet cat.

Now, I can't imagine not having her in the family. She's the most loving and sweet cat. She's so adorable and so cute and I just love her to pieces. I'm so glad Love saw something in her and I'm so glad we stuck it out.


Gracie - August 2005


So Happy Birthday to Gracie. She's three now and celebrating her one year anniversary of being with us. Love always says how she won the kitty lottery and he's damned right. Her life is amazing these days. She's loved, she's pampered, she's well fed adn she's healthy. She has an older sister kitty to play with and a family who loves her to pieces.


Gracie - August 2005


Here's to many more years of happiness, health and wonderful kitty love!
