I know, I’ve been away for quite a while. Last week was a blast though. My cousin and I (we’re five months apart, so we’re super close. I am the older one. She likes to act like she is, though. Just kidding!) went to youth camp together – our fifth year in a row! It was awesome. Our camp counselors were awesome, our cabin was awesome, the church service every night was awesome… phone service was horrible. Three bars was, like, a miracle. Thus, not being able to post last week.
I didn’t get to read a whole lot either! (Noooo…) I need to go to the library… SOON. I brought the book I bought last weekend, The Lucy Variations, with me and barely made it through three chapters. (I know. How can I dare call myself a bookish person? That’s just sad.) I did read some, every chance I got. This one girl in my cabin goes, “OMG. You’re reading a book?” She was like…
Then… yesterday afternoon… we went to a local farm my dad built a website for to get some milk and such, and… they had a litter of four kittens!!! (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) They’ve been there for a while – in fact, Mrs. Hammond said they were born late at night on Easter! How sweet is that?! And, since my mom can’t say no to the lip from my sister, and the pleading eyes from me and my dad… we got a kitten!!!!!!!!!!
We named her Maisy. Well, my mom named her Maisy. Since she was on the fence and my sister and dad and I fell in love with all four of her and her brothers and sister, she had the final say. So now we have Mittens, our big orange fur ball, and Maisy, our tiny gray fur ball. I am soooo happy. Tomorrow my little sister is off to youth camp so I get the new tiny little fur ball all to myself next week =)
Until tomorrow! I’m going to post a review I’ve had in my drafts for a while now… in the meantime, I’ll be working hard on some fun posts for the upcoming week and making my way through The Lucy Variations. Let me know in the comments how your week has been so far! Ciao! (Or should I say, meow!) Time to feed my kitty. Bye!
Maisy is so cute! I love cats so much, even though I don’t have one. They are really calm, and they don’t require a lot of work, unlike dogs. Better yet, they can just quietly sit in your lap when you’re reading or writing.
I totally get that you brought a book over but didn’t get to read much of it. Whenever I go on some sort of a trip, I bring a book. However, there is always so much going on that I barely get to read any of it.
Hmmm…it seems that my website link is not working. I hope you don’t mind if I test it again.
They really are 🙂 Maisy already knows where the litter box is, and she’s quite comfortable in her new home already, lol! She hasn’t quite learned the difference between play time and bed time yet though! 😀 I really wish I’d had more time to read, but oh well.
I had a ton of problems with my link not working when I first made For the Bookish. It was so annoying! It took me forever to figure out how to fix it.
Aww Maisy is sooooo cute!!!!! You’re so lucky you get to keep pets. My parents won’t let me keep any because we travel to like 3 countries each year 🙁
Aww 🙁 My cousin isn’t allowed to have pets, either, but cats are actually really easy. They don’t have to be toilet-trained (you can get them a litter box) and they don’t need baths or grooming. My family and I leave our cats with their bowls filled to the brim with food and water and a clean littler box and they’re good when we leave for vacation 😉
Well, I can’t believe it–we just acquired a new puppy around Christmas and her name is Maisy! AND–our cat “buttercup” (whom we rescued last summer at VBS) eloped and had 2 kittens. They were born in our bathroom. They are now running around like crazy. As soon as Buttercup has weaned the babies, she will take a quick trip to the Vet. I’m glad you have a kitten, too!
