Let’s Get This Pawty Started A Day Early


Guess what? Tomorrow is my Blogoversary. I’ve been married to this blog for six long years now or should I say I’ve had TW in my employ for six years. Either way, we both think she thinks that it’s not one of the big blogoversaries so we’ll keep our celebration to a minimum. I don’t usually post on Tuesday so I’m starting the pawty a day early.

Over the weekend instead of writing this blog post and giving it her whole attention, she spent all day proofreading the 2016 Cats of the Blogosphere weekly planner for Mom Paula. She said it’s the least she can do to help the CB since she did a lot of proofing in her former life back when she got a pay check. I think just sharing my stunning pics and prose is quite enough to help the CB. Anyhoo, that’s why she didn’t have time to gussy up this here blogoversary post. It is what it is.


It all started at a 5000 watt radio station in Fresno, CA. Oh wait, wrong show. It all started on Twitter and then I branched out cos I had more to say than fit into 140 characters. My first blog post didn’t even have my picture in it! That was when I murdered fired my first secretary, JoAnn, and hired TW.

Lemme take you into the back room and tell you how a typical blog post comes to be at stunningkeisha.com. I don’t think any other cat blogger has ever discussed the whys and wherefores of how a post comes to be.

The night after a post goes live, I call a meeting to discuss the next post topic. I’ll usually have an idea, which may start with an image or there may have been an incident in the condo I wish to address. Sometimes TW will object and I’ll quickly overrule her. We’ll discuss what Wednesday word to use; one we think will make people innerested enough to click. At those meetings—some of which include Pop—I’ll discuss which CB events I’d like to take part in and TW will let me know if there’s a conflict as far as sponsored posts.

Then we’ll discuss how I want the blog illustrated. TW will hem and haw about how long it takes to create an image. I’ll get out the violin to accompany her until I’ve heard about enough.

Finally, I’ll dictate the post and TW will read it back to me. I’ll attack it with teeth and claws my red pencil and she’ll try again. This continues until she gets it right. Finally she’ll create the images under my watchful eye. After such images are added to the post, I’ll ax Pop to do a final proofread, usually at 10:30 at night when he’s 7/8’s asleep. If he laughs and doesn’t nod off, I know I have a winner.

I hope you enjoyed this rare behind the scenes look at the antanomy of how I create my blog posts.


Now that I’ve finished the business of the day, please stay and enjoy some Chinese food and beverages. I ordered us up a mess of Chinese food cos it’s my favorite. Click to biggify if you can’t make up your mind what to order.


Oh, now that I’ve bribed you plied you with nommy food, if you can please let me know in the comments what you’d like to see more of—or less of—on this blog. Again, remember TW has a very thin skin; she bleeds easily, and I have a bad temper and I bite easily. I need your input since I do it all for my fans readers. You’re the reason I keep TW on staff and why I try my best to be entertaining. I greatly appreciate everyone who stops by and hopefully I put a smile on your faces.

Chinese food...mom and I love it....look at the food..Ho Lee Chit, you have chow mein with balls on top...deep fried balls too! We struck pay dirt mom. Drinks too! Woohoo....we love anything with strawberries on top.

    Thanks CK

  30. Happy Blogoversary, CK. We're wondering what happened to your first secretary, the one you fired. Is she still blogging somewhere or did she lose the will? We hope you were gentle.

    You actually collaborate with TW? Wow, we sometimes try to hide our posts from Jan cause she'd put the kabob on them. Oh, we meant kabosh.

  39. Oh my pal, I wish I had not missed this incredibly nommy party. And to think you have been doing this for 6 whole years. Amazing. Mom L isn't sure she can make it 4 years come next April, 2016. And IMCO your blog is one of the very best around. Fun, funny, light, great product reviews; and of course always wonderful photos and graphics.
