National Coffee Day

A day dedicated to coffee? This is possibly one of my favorite days ever!

I am a coffee fiend.  Every morning is started with a small cup of black coffee. Black. No cream. No sugar. Maybe an ice cube to cool it down.  Then I will stop by my local coffee shop to “say hi” to my friends – which really means I am going to get coffee where they work.  After I finish that one, depending on where I am, I will get another coffee.  It’s crazy, I know. But it’s better than cocaine….I think.

Coffee is a bonding thing also.  When I first meet people coffee somehow comes up in the conversation – usually I bring it up some how.  If they light up at the sound, then I know we can be friends; if not, acquaintances it is.

Coffee. It’s a life style.

Conversations peak over coffee.  Along with this, they last for hours! My closest friends are the people who had a deep convo with me over a cup of coffee.  It’s crazy, but true!  So, I think that’s why coffee has a big impact on my life.  Maybe.

Anyways, today was National Coffee Day.  And I hope you all enjoyed your delicious coffee.  I enjoyed my 4!

My Rock

The Primary Care Hospital is our second home.  Not because she is sick or has complications, because the Veterinarians want to make sure she is perfectly fine.

I found my baby in a Yogurtland parking lot roaming for food.

〈 For those of you who do not know me,  I am a animal lover.  My first cat was given to me at the age of one and he is now 22.  My next cats, six to be exact, were because I let them in to my house; each have a unique story.  Along with this my first dog I begged my mom to take from an abandoned house, and my puppy dog eyes worked.  We had her for years and she was one happy and loyal dog.  After she passes, we took a year from dogs because it was difficult to have one take her spot.  Eventually, we decided it was a necessity for protection.  We ended up going to the small pound and rescuing 2 Lab mixes who were dumped on the side of the road.  A few years later I ran into my first baby.  He had an embedded collar, mopped hair, and only skin and bones.  We took him in to get cleaned up and then took him home. This is just simply put, maybe another time some more details will be spilled.〉

She was at the age where she could walk semi-normal, but should still be cared my her mom.  She had to be at least 2 weeks old.  I squatted down and this little bambi tried her hardest to run to me.  She sounded like a helicopter, and had a look of hope.  That is when I knew she was my baby.  I looked around to see if anyone else was looking for her, or if any other kittens were around.  No luck.  I rapped her in a Spiderman blanket and took her back home.

〈At this time I was living in a two bedroom apartment with my best friend and my boyfriend. We signed a contract that specifically said no cats or dogs.  But, I decided to look past that. 〉

I placed her in the bathtub with some blankets while I began to cat-proof the apartment.  My boyfriend came home and went to wash his face in the bathroom.  Not long after he stepped in he yelled my full name, middle name included.  The middle name is something your parents yell when you’re in trouble, not your boyfriend! So he came out, and questioned me numerous times. And continuously said no this cannot happen.  But, I picked her up and she curled under my neck and began purring.  His face lit up and he had an uncontrollable smile on.  This is the day everyone fell in love.

We were unsure what to name her.  A small, grey stripped tabby who constantly cried and purrs louder than ever.  We decided to live with her for a little before we gave her a tag.  Pebble.  Pebble is simple, smooth and well small and sometimes grey.  This fit perfectly.  After a few days she began responding to her name and it stuck.

She is now 6 months, and one crazy cat!

Second Cup of Coffee

I am fighting to stay awake by filling my veins with bitter caffeine.  I am not complaining about the bitterness, I oddly enjoy it.  But, I dislike the fact that I am drinking it to be functional and approachable instead of for enjoyment.

I should be finishing my Psychology thread that is do this evening, but instead I am sipping on my coffee writing this entry – which is more exciting.  I have seen friends come and go, the regular elders, and the few families who are beyond proud of their little one (even if they haven’t spoken a full sentence yet).  I am one of the few people observing.  We have the college students who sat down and began their studying, but now they’re side tracked with more ‘important’ things.  Really, they’re just procrastinating, WE are procrastinating.

It’s now time to take a few more sips of this drug so I can go back to the brewer. And then off to class I go.  Crossing my fingers I will stay alive and be able to follow the information.

Until next time,

XOXO

PS: enjoy your coffee for me this morning.  If you are able to stop and take a breath, please do it. Stop rushing, and take a sip of coffee not gulps of caffeine. 

My First Post

I decided to create a new blog.  The old one had many ties and well it is time for me to move on.

Don’t get me wrong, I do not regret my past, I just need to realize that it happened, and I can only grow from it.

Now, I am beginning a blog about my life.  My every day life: adventures, personal encounters, my kitten, love life, and anything else I hope you find interesting.

Wish me luck! And I hope you take my words and learn from them.

XOXO,

Cece
