Everybody wants to be a cat

May 25th, 2008

Last weekend, I adopted an adorable 8 week old kitten from Feral Friends, a Dallas animal rescue group. Her name is Victoria Beckham, and she lights up my life.

I’ve never been the maternal type. Children are not particularly interesting to me, and frankly, holding the responsibility of another life in my hands is a frightening concept. I spent the first few nights with her constantly waking up in the middle of the night to make sure she was ok. She doesn’t sleep much at night still - but she’s adjusting.

She loves to explore, talk, play, eat, and be near people. As Jason said, I “picked a winner.”

I still feel a twinge of fear that I’m going to completely screw up and let her down, but things are going very well. I love her companionship and innocent, playful spirit.

Best Mother’s Day Ever

Best mother’s day ever

Originally uploaded by QCait.

I highly recommend the movie Son of Rambow (trailer).

Funny, fun, heartwarming, and filled with cute Euro-80’s children, the movie is about British child #1 (who is raised in an Amish-like religion) who meets up with trouble-making British child #2, who is an aspiring film maker. British child #1 (who has never watched TV before), sees Rambo at #2’s house and a brilliant idea for a movie is born.
And when you go to the Magnolia, be sure to get the $10 bucket of beer special. Four domestic beers and a bucket of ice to enhance your movie watching experience. If you bat your eyelashes at the bar tender extra cute, you might just get yourself some Shiner (though it’s technically a specialty beer).
