Saving Kittehs

So did you guys see this article on WRAL? Personally, I think it's awesome that he decided to leave his hard earned money to kitties. If people would be more responsible with their animals we wouldn't need cat rescue organizations, but since we have them, it's awesome to know someone is generously donating to help those groups. What really kills me are all of the comments on this article. One person commented that, he "...obviously had 'issues' that affected his judgment...". And sadly, a lot of people agreed. Another said, "Pets are like cheap watches. They only last a small part of your life. And when they die, you throw it away and get another one." I totally disagree with that...they're members of the family, and should be treated as such. They are not some material object. There were plenty of comments that supported his decision, and also some that said while they didn't agree, it was his decision to make, and he could spend his money however he wanted. I was also annoyed by the people that said if you did agree, what a sad and lonely life you must live choosing animals over people. I agree with the posters that said that loving animals and loving people are not mutually exclusive.

BEST GAME EVER

Tonight was seriously my best soccer game ever. I was really nervous about playing. Monday was my first outdoor game, and I was on the field the entire time. Today my legs were really feeling it. I'm currently the only girl on the indoor team, which means I'm on the field the whole time or we play a man down while I take a break. I figured, no way, I'm tough, I can stick it out. Apparently I was so tired prior to the game starting that I failed to remember I'm a chubby old lady! Anyways, I call it my best game ever because guess who scored TWO goals? Yep! That'd be me!!! What's really funny to me is I can't really remember them to tell you the details. I do remember after the first one went in I threw my arms up and screamed, "YES!". I told my teammate I was so happy I considered the game a win in my book, even though that goal only broke up their shutout to make the score 2-1. I couldn't believe it...I kicked the ball and it went in! I cannot even put into words how good it felt to score that goal. And then, a little later, it happened again! Absolutely remarkable I tell ya! It wasn't just scoring that made the game so awesome for me, I felt like I was more aggressive, even though my poor legs were spent. I did have another shot that missed the goal, but man did it have some oomph behind it. It made such a boom when it hit the wall it startled me. And I even had another shot (if you want to call it that) that was too high. Me! Shooting to high! It's crazy!

Lazy Lady

I wonder if that lady was giving me a nasty look because she heard me call her lazy for not walking down two flights of stairs. Look nasty all you want lady, that's why my ass is no wear near as big as yours.
