My First Blog - Majik and Miracles

Well, here I am entering the world of bloggers for the first time.  I've thought often of writing a blog but something always came up.  Then I started to get serious about it and did a wee bit of research - everyone said to start you have to have a topic.  Well - that almost did me in until a friend of mine (yes I do have some friends - and don't even have to pay them!) told me that having no topic can be a topic on its own.  Next, being the cheapskate I am, I had to find a free blog site and after another miniscule amount of research decided on the Blogger. 
So what am I going to write about today?  HMMMM let's see.....how about how my day went.
I got up at my usual hour - about 2 pm and did the usuals to prepare for my day. (If you thought I was going to go into details about the 'usuals' - you are one SICK puppy and need to go chase your tail in somebody elses yard)  Then I had an unusual thought - that it would be a good day to get some housework done.  Anyone who knows me, knows that is nothing short of a minor miracle and should I follow up on the thought, a full fledged miracle!!  Get out the marker to mark this one on the wall cuz I actually did some cleaning.
Of course the cleaning was broken up by a couple of breaks to check on my FaceBook page (you never know when someone might put up a status or picture that will be life changing!!)  However, my breaks weren`t as frequent as usual as I was really into the cleaning mode.  Not entirely sure if it was my own doing as I was also listening to some motivational speakers at the same time.  Yeah, that`s got to be it - it was the speakers!  Big sigh of relief - hate to think I might be turning over a new leaf (shudder).
If you are wondering what amazing motivational speakers could keep me working at cleaning my house, it was The Mind Aware with Dana Wilde and some guest speakers.  Pretty good stuff, you might want to check it out for yourself. 
You still here?  You've got quite a tolerance for boring stuff, don't you.
Anyway, to continue with my day (evening now, actually)....I then decided it was time for sustenance and the order of the day was tomato soup and a ham sandwich.  I sat down to eat and watch the news  when a little thief decided to help my diet by trying to steal my sandwich.  'Ah Ha' says I - 'you won't be performing any tricks like that!'  And I lift her from within centimeters from my food and place her on the floor.  'Ah Ha' says she - 'I won't be put off that easily!' and jumps back onto my lap using her sharp kitten claws on my legs in the process.  Then she proceeds to give me a cute kitten look just before trying to steal the sandwich again.  After a few more cycles of me putting her back to the floor and gaining a couple more scratches on my already well scratched legs as she not so nimbly jumps back up onto my lap, she cuddles up to me purring loudly.  Of course I cave and give her what she's been wanting all along - some of the ham sandwich.  Fickle kitten!  Once she had what she wanted do you think she'd stay and let me know of her eternal gratitude?  Hell no!  Once she decided there was nothing left for her as I had greedily eaten my sandwich and tomato soup wasn't quite to her liking, she jumped down and went to play with the elder cat. Hmpf!  We'll just see who's boss come feeding time tomorrow!!
Feeling cheated and unloved, I turned off the boring news and decided to continue the cleaning by doing my dishes and tidying up the counters.  When the idea struck me to start to sort my paperwork my poor psyche just couldn't handle anymore of this 'new me' and my mind wandered off to the land of blogging.  I sat down, set up my blog and you know the rest of the story.
Now it is time to do something important - get myself a nice cold cooler and check if there are any mind blowing statuses on FaceBook.
Good-bye until we meet again.  If you are a crazy enough to come back, that is.
PS just in case you didn't figure it out, Majik is the kitten.
