Amazing photo
Most of my friends know that my favorite adjective is "jazzy." It's just so much fun and it makes me want to shoulder shrug. All day I've been thinking about the idea of a "jazzy cat" and THIS is one JAZZY CAT!

Feeling like a million dollars
Hey lovers!
Since Ben's season of "The Bachelor" ended, I haven't been posting on here much. I'm still trying to put back together the pieces of my life after shaggy-haired Ben picked prickle puss Courtney. Only kidding-- I could give a rat's ass what those losers do (off camera). I've been busy with a trip to Florida, a lot of writing, and a little cold. But I'm back on the 'ole blog machine making fresh, hot blogs for ya!
I want to share a quick story of something that happened yesterday that was pretty rad.
I had my weekly stand-up comedy show at Luca Lounge on Avenue B between 13th and 14th in NYC's East Village. Almost every Wednesday, I go to the bodega on the corner of Avenue B and 13th to get cash (b/c Luca Lounge is cash only), maybe buy a bottle of water, and buy chips or snacks for my show. Last night was no exception-- I went to the ATM within that bodega to take out $40 cash.
As I was typing in my pin number, I looked down and noticed that $40 was already sitting in the little tray where you get your money. Someone had obviously walked off without taking their money. Oh man that sucks. I took my $40 from the machine, but I didn't want to leave the other $40 in the tray at the ATM. So I took the $40 up to the checkout and explained to the cashier that somebody must have gone to the ATM, but walked off without their money. I asked him to hold the money because I was guessing that the person would probably come back for their cash. The cashier looked at me like I was an alien and a fool, "You found this cash just sitting in the ATM now, and you're giving it to me for safe keeping?"
"Yes," I replied. "I just could never take it-- it's not my money. I bet that person will come back."
Then I went to the back of the store to get a bottle of juice. When I walked back to the front, a woman was running in the front door and making her way to the ATM while saying, "Oh no no no- excuse me-- oh no I think I left it there..." She was wearing the uniform to a fast food restaurant and seemed pretty upset. As she moved by me, I said, "Did you leave money at the ATM?" and she was like, "Yes! I left $40 there just a few minutes ago." I looked at the cashier and he pulled out the $40 and said that I had found it and given it to him for safe keeping. The woman was elated and SO thankful. The sweet cashier was like, "This nice girl- she couldn't take it," and I was like, "No way--I couldn't take it--it's not mine. That's just not how my parents raised me." The woman was SO sweet and kept thanking me and blessing me. It was a pretty amazing exchange. Giving that woman back her 40 dollars made me feel like about a million dollars.
