What the bump?
So back on 04.30.11, I took a leap that would change my life FUREVER. I adopted a beautiful Blue/White tuxedo cat whom I dubbed JinX. I had always fed outside feral cats but I'd never had one in the house/apartment. Well, one time I TRIED it but the minute I brought her home she started clawing everything. It didn't last 30 minutes. Anyway, I was nervous because I wanted to be the best cat mom I could be. One could make an argument that I was overly cautious lol; which leads me into my story...
One day, JinX and I were laying down on the bed and I noticed that he appeared to have a bump on his tummy. Curious, I parted the hair and looked at it. I figured maybe he had scratched himself or something. I didn't think anything else about it. The next day, I was on the computer and Jinx was on the floor when the bump caught my eye again. Curious, I got on the floor to get a closer look at it. I was still fairly new at being a cat mom, so I was observant and MADLY in love with him... I wanted to make sure he was OK.
While I was looking at the bump, I noticed he had ANOTHER one. So I immediately got my camera phone and started to take pics of it. I was so worried. I said to him "Don't worry buddy, if anything is wrong, we'll get it fixed." I was near tears b/c I just knew he had cancer or something. I got back on the computer, emailed the "bump" shots to myself and was just about to compose an email to The Cat Clinic when I noticed more bumps, then realization hit me, Oh shit Kiesha, they aren't bumps, they are NIPPLES.
DUH!!!!

What A Day
Today was one of those days. You know, the one where nothing can go wrong? It's been a hell of week. I noticed that my inventory for today and scheduling was next to none. I went in with an extra pep in my step [which was to be short-lived]. Later on, I had one of those awkward moments when you open your mouth, spill the beans only to find out that person has no idea what you were talking about. It went downhill from there.
Just a little history, I'm one of those people who will beat themselves up time and time again for a mistake. Simple, honest mistakes. I don't know why I'm like that but I am and it's a horrible feeling because you constantly beat yourself up for some of the dumbest things. Anyway, 3:30 came and I ran out of the office as fast as I can. I made my 30 minute drive home with my slip-up fresh on mind.
When I made it home, I realized my new shampoo and conditioner had been delivered. Shampooing my hair is like a dreaded task for me. I decided to punish myself for opening my fat mouth by shampooing my hair. It was every bit of hell that I remember from the last time. I get that done, put some conditioner on and while I'm letting it sit I decide to catch up on Facebook.
I came across a story of a woman who heard her voice for the first time. It had me in tears. It also made me realize how small my problem is compared to bigger problems in the world. I already knew this of course but I needed something to wake me up. It may sound idiotic but watching her hear her voice for the first time really made my day better. Despite the foot going in my mouth and the self-induced shampoo torture, I'm smiling. Good day to you all!

Troy Davis
I’m sure that you have all heard about Troy Davis. A man executed [09.21.11 @ 11:08 p.m] for a crime that lacked evidence and 7 of 9 of the witnesses recanted. As an American I am disappointed in the Georgia Justice Department. I truly feel that they executed an innocent man. While I agree with the death penalty, ONLY if there are concrete evidence. My hope is that evidence will eventually exonerate Troy Davis therefore showing a huge flaw in the GA Justice Department.
Today in Georgia, David Crowe was granted clemency just three hours before he was set to be put to death. The reason? He admitted his crime, felt remorse and had good behavior while in jail. I guess lack of evidence isn’t enough to grant a stay of execution huh? It’s a sad day for those of us who have always believed in justice. As an American, I thought that we all were afforded the luxury of a fair trial.
Of course several [black and white alike] have called it racism from the beginning. Now that word of Crowe’s clemency has come out, many more are jumping on the racism bandwagon. I’m black and I’m not ready to call this racism. Call me crazy but I like to think that our justice department is not racist. Some say I live in a fantasy world and they might be right but how would blacks feel if whites constantly pulled the race card?
I truly believe that one reason the case was handled this way has to do with the victim being a cop. He’s one of their own. I’m not saying this justifies it but I think we should explore different possibilities as to why Troy Davis died. Regardless, it was a sad day. I truly hope that the truth will come out one day. My heart goes out to the victims and to Troy Davis and his family/friends.

About Moi'
I am 28 year old female living in the south. I have a boyfriend, 2 fish and my HEART, my kitty JinX. I enjoy being liberal, reading, drinking presidente margarita’s, technology, android cellphones, the color pink, off color jokes, NSFW jokes and content. I sometimes have a bad attitude but who doesn’t? On the flip side, I can also be the nicest and sweetest person you will ever meet. I love a good laugh but wish I was funnier. I enjoy being around fun and down to earth people.
I love animals but cats and kittens are my favorites. I’m very out spoken and I put on a good front as being super tough but I’m really a big softy. I cry when I see people reunite or when I hear about inspirational stories. I believe that crying is good for the soul. I want to be organized and I like to plan to organize things but it NEVER happens. I like to think that I’m not a procrastinator but in reality I know the truth. I sometimes act like I’m a spy when I walk around the house, holding my fingers in the gun motion. I’m a total dreamer.
If I could write my life I would be living in NY in a nice brownstone, walking to work everyday and picking up starbucks on the way there. I’d probably work at some type of advertising or media company. I’d be single, have great friends and party like a rockstar on the weekends. I would sit in my bedroom window with the curtains open, a glass of wine and BLOG about my day after work. I would have one cat, nice antique stuff inside my house and eat healthy all of the time. Nice life huh? To be continued.
