But it turned out well, as in most classes of any type, there are those who are more advanced, in this case one student who assisted me in translating for those who aren't as far along.
Also, I'll be starting another Level III (intermediate-upper intermediate) class next Monday (the 20th), so... more hours, more pay, yay!
But that's not what this post is about. This post is about the Great Thanksgiving Massacree... no, wait. It's not about that, either. It's about what happened after the class. Oh. And it's about today is my birthday. Did I mention that?
Jen (and the girls) had dropped me off at the class, and then came to pick me up after. And Jen said she wanted to take me somewhere "for about an hour or so" for my birthday. I was intrigued, as one doesn't often get taken somewhere. So we dropped the girls off with their dad for a while, and then down the road a bit... to the local no kill shelter! And Jen said, "Would you like a kitty for your birthday?"
Well, does the Pope want a little wine with Mass? Do Republicans want a little hypocrisy with breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack/every iota of their being?... Where was I?
Oh, right!!
I got a kitteh for my birthday!!!!!
As you can see, she's just a Li'l Bit o' Kitteh, and she has yet to let me know her name -- although there are a couple that may be in the running. So for now, I'm calling her Li'l Bit or ... She Who Has Yet To Be Named. Kinda like a Voldekitteh for you Harry Potter fans. Stay tuned for more on these exciting developments, and now I leave you for... cake!!! (chocolate with peanut butter icing -- YUMMY!!!)
*SWHYTBN has already played with string, yarn, paper balls, and tried to scoot out the front door -- twice.

Wow - a kitteh and a birthday on the same day!
Congrats, Cuz! :)
Perfect, perfect, perfect! She is adorable! When I told Lyra that she has a new first cousin down CR way, she flipped over on her back and scooted across the rug. That's her new way of expressing utter delight.
Welcome, SWHYTBN! Swa-Hight-bun - it has a certain melodic and rhythmic charm ...
Happy Birthday Baby Brother-
Happy Birthday!
And she is about the cutest little Voldekitteh I have laid eyes on in a good while! What a sweet little bit!
Julie - Robin put "SWHYTBN" up in fridge magnets last night. I told Bob that if he wants to pronounce it, it would pretty much be "Sweet Bun", but he didn't go for it. Of course that does open a whole new genre of potential names...Eclair, Bear Claw, Jelly Roll, Cream Filled...(why no, I haven't had breakfast yet, why do you ask?)
Now THAT'S how to pick a kitteh!!!! Happy Birthday!!
"Shytobin" in my mind...though I suspect she's not shy.....
I think that she picked you! She will have a loving home with all of you guys! I can't believe I missed your birthday!
Umm--is there still any cake? =)
