I got a cat, and a blog (somewhat reluctantly)

For my first post I thought I would relate my experiences of acquiring a new blog and acquiring a new cat:

1) I never really wanted a cat, and I never really wanted a blog....

• No cat reason: I have always been a dog-person, and it's much harder to find apartments that will allow dogs than it is to find ones that will take cats.
• No blog reason: I just never thought I had enough interesting material to write about.

2) ...but here I am with both...

• Reason for cat: an opportunity arose to provide a kitten with a home, and since I can't have a dog at the moment, I thought 'why not?'
• Reason for blog: mostly 23 Things NB, and since we needed a blog to complete this, I thought 'well I have to!'

3) ...and so far it has not been as nearly as bad as I thought, and much easier to get started.

• Cats: I didn't have to do to much to get ready for her arrival and (as many people know) she is self-sufficient, so yeah, easy. And so much fun!
• Blogs: Since I have had a Gmail account for a few years now (I made the changeover from Hotmail) setting up my new blog was, well, very easy and fun figuring out what you can do (notice my hyper-linked titles and I even uploaded a photo with caption and all)!

All that being said, I am as happy as can be with both!


So there is my first blog post and here is Fawkes (the namesake of both Guy Fawkes and Fawkes the Pheonix of Harry Potter stardom). As you can see she has a dog tag. I may be giving her a complex, but I had to fulfill my want and need of a dog in some way.

Happy trails with 23 Things NB!
