Cat-Trauma

I feel so bad for my little cat, Armani right now. I was gone yesterday until today to stay with my mom for Memorial Day weekend. I got back about 30 minutes ago, and when I started unlocking my door, I heard this really loud meowing, and I thought how odd it was I could hear it so well through my door. Imagine my shock and horror when I looked over to my right and saw Armani crouching in the corner outside of my apartment, by the door that leads outside. I felt so bad, I don't know how he got out. I usually check as I am leaving to make sure he doesn't get outside, but he must've been let out yesterday as I was leaving. So, poor kitty, he was locked out of the apartment all night, with no food, water, or litter box. And I wonder if my neighbors heard him crying outside all night long, he must've been pretty upset. Luckily some of my neighbors have moved, so there's only this one guy that lives next to me now, but I am so happy he didn't call Animal Control or anything, and I would have lost my poor little kitty forever. I feel very lucky, too, that he didn't get outside and make a run for it or anything. I just feel so bad for him right now, he is acting a little traumatized still. I will have to be more careful next time. Although, hopefully he won't be making any runs for the door any time soon.

ANTM

I just finished watching the season finale for America's Next Top Model (yes, I like this show), and I was so excited because they finally chose a winner who is a "full-figured model"! It makes me so happy because every season they have one or two models who are not your typical size zero, and they usually get booted off pretty early on in the season. I have been rooting for Whitney this whole time, she is a beautiful woman who had some curves to her, and she had a lot of confidence as well which can't be easy in a house full of toothpicks. Anyways, I kept thinking she wasn't going to win because they kept criticizing her pictures again and again, and she kept managing to hang in there. I just hope this can help out the whole industry so that there are not just tiny anorexic-looking girls being portrayed as what's beautiful. It made me happy to have a model that us normal-looking girls can finally relate to.

Weighing out against a first grader...

So, when I was at work today, I got taken out by this first grade boy. Now, I know it was an accident, but I was still pretty angry at him. It was at recess time, and we were out on the playground. I was on a swing, and this boy came up and asked if I would fly his little airplane for him. So, I got up to try to do it, not realizing he had gotten on the swing after I had gotten off. Now, this is a big boy. He weighs almost 120 lbs. I didn't notice when he pulled back to swing and hit me, causing me to fall to the ground. It really hurt. And I was really mad at him, I kind of yelled at him, saying he needs to be careful and watch before he starts swinging. He was trying to blame it on me, too, saying I needed to get out of the way, but eventually he apologized. Still, tonight I'm really starting to feel it, my back feels kind of sore and so do my knees and legs. Hopefully I won't get any bruises.
