Kitten and a Book Review

Kitten wonders into blog lazily and not the most enthusiatically. I should be happy but I can't really say that I am. I just do not want to be here at the moment. I'm sick and tired of people, all people, everyone in particular. The sun is shining and it is about 50ish F. Maybe I'm PMSing?Well, enough about me, I'm sick of hearing about everyone else problems and so I will not subject anyone to my own.

I'm reading a very fascinating but heartbreaking book called "A Long Gone"(You can't underline how annoying) by Ishmael Beah. It is a biography about this man's life. He lived he Sierra Leone, during his childhood, in the time the war broke out in 1993. At first the war was just something he heard about but eventually the rebels can to his village. He and his older brother escaped from the village but were seperated from their parents. Junior and Ismael, along with some friends from the village travaled from town to town for months, trying to find their parents and stay one step ahead of the rebels. Because many of rebel soldiers were boys around Ismael's age(12), the boys were not even safe when they were traveling because the villagers would mistake them for rebels! After awhile Junior and Ismael are seperated and Ismael wonders alone for quite awhile. Eventually he comes across several boys from a Mattru Jong, which is a city close to his village. They team up and continue traveling.

This is as far as I have gotten. I'm half way through so when I finish the last half I will finish the story. I could not image seeing and doing the things that Ismael had done. It is so sad but I cannot put the book down. Unfortuantely, my accouting forces me to and so I must go.

My Mysterious Friday Night

{Kitten emerges from her walk outside and settles down on velvet cushion, ready to tell the readers of her mysterious night Friday}

Well, Friday did not start out the best that great. I was feeling rather grumpy and out of sorts, not to mention I could not do anything right. Little Sis and I were supposed to go out but both of us had unforseeable problems. She had work and I had an appointment. I was a little upset{not at anyone in particular, just life} when James called. He was rather cyrptic and said that he was coming to see me.

He picked me up at 9:30 and we went to where he was staying, which was about an hour and half away. We just caught up in the car. He was making me both curious and nervous because he still had mention the reason for his impromtu trip. We got to his hotel and we ordered room service. For awhile, we just ate in companionable silence but I could tell there was something on his mind. I wanted to ask but was afraid too. While we're just friends now, I was afraid there was something something he was hidding from me.

About half way through diner, he started to ask how I had been feeling and if there was anything new that I wanted to tell him. Well, at first, I was rather annoyed and thought that he was the one who seemed to be hiding something not me. After all, he was the one to call this little tete-a-tete. He waited for my answer and when I told him that everything was fine and nothing note worthy had happened in the last week and half he looked at me a little exasperated.

We finished dinner and desert but he still kept looking at me rather oddly. Finally, he just blurted out "Are you pregnant?" I couldn't help it, I just started laughing. That was what he had been so concerned over. After I had finished laughing at his expense I relieved him with the news that he was not to be a daddy anytime soon, unless he knew something that I didn't:) In truth, Kitten is certain she is not expecting any wee little one's is because she is on her time of the month{unfortunately, sighs}.

After James realized that he was not going to have to go out and buy cigars anytime soon, he laughed about it himself. To be fair to him, if you didn't know me on a personal basis, you might of thought I'd the signs of pregnancy too. I was a little upset to my tummy but that not unusal for me. Anything too greasy and my stomach rebels. I was also moody but in my defense I was PMSing.

I did ask him what he would had done if I had been pregnant. He knows I'm very pro-life so he knew better than to bring that up. He said that he would have taken over financial support of the baby and me. We both knew and still know that marriage is not an option for either of us but he said that he would have been apart of his/her life. {Sighs staring out window wondering what might have been and afraid to think of what will be}

Once that was sorted out we had a nice time talking. Unfortunately, I had to get back home because I had to be in at work at 8. I didn't get any sleep whatsoever:(
