A Day In The Life Of A Cat

Happy Birthday - Part II

Happy Birthday, Laura!

I met Laura when I was in 11th grade. I was shy and usually ate lunch alone. One day I was in the locker halls and I saw her and a few other girls laughing and talking. I was scared to approach, but I guess I was finally tired of being alone, so I went up and said hi. The rest is history. I have met a lot of people over the years, but she is the only one who sticks with me. She knows me well....we can do that silent conversation thing....talking to each other with expersions and body language. We're like peas and carrots ;->
