Shawshank curiosity
September 13, 2000

Oi Vey, what a day.

I got up and did my morning routine. Check for some food (there was nothing) get some water, wake up mommy and daddy, play with them, put in a couple of food requests, then check out what's going on out the window.

Mommy updated me a little more about everyone and everything. Apparently my new cousin may be coming sooner, unless he decides to surprise us all. Auntie Tonya and the baby are close to being ready for labor. Mommy will go down soon after. Maybe this time I will get to go.

I'm going to learn to mail myself. I think that will be the only way to get myself there. I just don't know how to seal the outside of the box, from the inside. I'm working on it. It's kind of like the question that you think about it in the movie Shawshank Redemption... If he went in the escape hole head first, how did he get the giant poster to lay flat and look like it was done from the outside? I just don't get it. Mommy likes that movie, so we both watch it a lot.

My cousin Brittany is an above average reader in her class. She had to take a reading test, for school, and she did really good. Mommy said Brittany read some lyrics from a CD insert to her. I can't remember who the artist was, but mommy said Brittany did really good. I'm going to learn how to do that! Somehow.

I have almost finished my review for the water fountain. I need to do the "Don't like" section of it. Give me some time. I'm hoping for some new toys too (hint hint) and maybe I can write a review of those.

Apparently my parental units forgot to pick up some cat food, and so mommy had to break out the last can of emergency wet food. It was so good! I was quite delighted. Of course mommy took forever to give it to me, so I began screaming at her until she finally just gave it to me. I'm not a kitten, I don't need my food all cut up. I can chew it by myself, but she still insists on cutting it up for me. I'm a grown kitty now. Mommy is going to have to learn to accept this.

Well, summer is officially over for this house. The winter boat storage fee has been paid. Next year I hope I get to go. I like playing on the boat, except for one thing. I don't have a particularly nice place to potty. I have to go under the bed, to a special place for my litter box. I do like to search for ducks though. Hunter Skittles, that's what they call me up there. Beware of the cat, Hunter Skittles. I am kitty, hear me meow!

Mommy also brought me back some more of the folding file things. I love those things. They are like little alligator mouths, plus the are good for cleaning my teeth.

I overheard mommy on the phone with Nannie regarding something about getting my teeth cleaned. I am going to have to pay a little more attention and find out when they are planning on doing this, I'm going to need to run under the bed and hide out for a long time that day.

Well, I shall get to bed. It's been a long day. It was really hard to get daddy up this morning. Until next time diary.
