It's All Relative

Tuesday.

Have I mentioned that I got a cat? Well I got another cat. Bootsie is my first cat, but she lives with my mom and dad in Redding. She has a good life there and besides the threat of being swept away by hawks and/or falling down the cliff into the Sacramento River below my parents house, she is happy and secure and I don't want to uproot her life and cause her any more trauma than she has already endured. Ok, so all you peeps who keep giving me crap....Enough.

Cat #2: His name is Nikta, Niko for short. Nikta mean "night" in Greek which I thought was so perfect for him because he is black as night. See, a camera here would help the description. Here's a cat who looks similar and captures Niko's inspiration quite nicely:

Niko is still a kitten so he's not at big as that cat. But you get the picture. I really couldn't not get him when I happened to come across the adoption day going on at PetSmart. His little paw kept swiping at me through his cage. I had to. AND he was found as a stray newborn kitten in UTAH. So really, it's pretty much destiny that I found him.

Speaking of Utah, the shootings at Trolley Square were so sad. I can't believe it. It's bizarre to think that something like that can happen in a place like Utah. I mean, if you can't feel safe there, where can you?

Obama made it official on Saturday and announced his candidacy for the Presidency. Awe-some. I am stoked. I have already ordered my Obama gear and cannot wait for Lilly to be born so she can sport this:

American Idol is on tonight. I'm going to try and not watch it, but I'lm not making any promises. This is the first Hollywood episode, so I mean, let's be realistic.

Heather is making her way to Vegas this weekend. Finally. Someone to hang out with!!! I am stoked. Hopefully we get some tennis in because it's been way too long.

Lastly, Happy 22nd Birthday shout out to my sister Shannon. Shan, you are my best friend. We may not always get along, but you can make me laugh like no one else. Do something fun tonight. HAPPY BIRTHDAY....fish. sssss sssss sssssssss.
