Awww the life of a cat... Sleep and eat...
Jasmine, aka Jaz, aka Fattie, aka Tiny Baby Fat One has a good story about how she became mine...
My first year of teaching I had a second grader come to school crying uncontrollably. I asked her what was wrong and she said that her mom made her get rid of her cat. I told her that was sad and that I had a lot of cats when I was little and my dad made me give them away. Blah, Blah, Blah... So she continues with the story that it followed her to school. Kinda cute, but I was ready to move on... All of a sudden I hear a meow from the closet. I asked Delilah were the cat was now. She looked at me, looked at the closet, looked back at me, and said, through an out burst of tears, "IN MY BOOK BAG!"
I ran over to the closet and sure enough the kitten was crying! The other kids in the class started to go crazy! I immediately shut my door and called one of my 2nd grade team members. She said to call another teacher and that she probably has litter and food in her car or office. Sure enough within about 20min I had not only a small litter box with litter but bowls of water and food!!!
To make a long story short, I had the kitten in my classroom for about a week. Until my landlord made his decision on whether I could have a cat or not. I named her Jasmine because that was the little girl's middle name.
And Fatty has been with me ever since! We're going on 11 years!!!!!
About Project 365
I have decided to get back into my photography. I have boycotted my hobby for awhile because I miss the meditating atmosphere of a dark room. (Maybe I just miss the fumes!?!?) When I went to school I can remember spending very long evenings in the dark room and having a sense of accomplishment and creativity! Since I have made the switch to digital photography, I rarely edit the photos I take. With this project I will have different types of photos. All photos will be taken with my iPhone and will not be edited. Some will be normal everyday pics and some artistic in nature, but all will be a little part of my day. Everyday for a year! Here's to going out and finding the creativity again...
