The Power of Mint

HELLOs. MintIceCream here(MIC for short) tis a world about me, and the crazy antics of my 5 cats that just love to drive me nuts.

Age-20
Job-substitute teacher
Gender-female
i recently graduated from college with a BS degree in education, certified for art (I'm an art teacher). i currently sub teach while i shop for a job in my content area.

Mindy-my cat, she's a white cat with tabby splotches all over. She's 15 years old, nonsocial, phychotic, and crazy. But i love her all the same.

Texa-my dad's cat primarily, he has a tuxedo style coat. black with a white strip down his belly, on his paws, and the lower half of his face. he's also a manx(no tail) and very talkative. a gentle giant, very lovable, although he doesn't really like me to well. he's 11 years old. (he's also kind of a cranky old @$$)

Bogart-mom's cat. and mine sometimes. the very fat one of our family. he's 7 year old. a brown tabby who loves to raise chaos. he loves to terrorize the adults, and chew on everything. he's also a big pig and will eat anything. even though he's my mom's cat, he loves everyone. he's quite the ladies man. he prefers the company of women over men.

Sammie-Ryan's cat. 7 year old. he is all gray, with thick soft fur. the sweetest cat in the whole world. he isn't all that smart though, and kinda slow. definatley not our brightest bulb, but we love him all the same. he will do anything for a tidbit of human food, so i have managed to teach him a few tricks. his favorite food is gold fish. we try to tell him it's not a real fish, but he doesn't believe us.

Augustus (GUS for short)- everyone's cat. the newest addition to our family, we rescued him from a cousin who should be banned from owning animals. he was 5 weeks old when we got him, so tiny. he's now 3 years old. he is a miniture norwegian forrest cat. all black, orange eyes, and EXTREMLY fluffy. he is the baby of the family, and res1sident ninja/trouble-maker. he is also quite dog like. he will sit and shake paws for a treat, likes to play fetch, loves meeting new people, and go for walks on a leash and harness.

anyways, have fun, and enjoy the power of the minty-ness.

very very late spring cleaning

today i've decided to clean my room. i cleared the piles of junk off my dresser, untangled the moutain of cords in my corner, put away my art supplies, and reorganized my bookshelves. i have a few more things scattered on my floor that need to be put away, but i'll get to them.

mom and dad left yesterday morning for the weekend to bike the wabash trace trail. they biked 45 miles apporximatly saterday, stayed the night at a hotel then biked back home today. so ryan and i had the house to ourselves. i did a whole lot of nothing. the highlight of my day was in the evening. i watched the phineas and ferb movie, which i thouroughly enjoyed. there was a lot more to the movie than i was expected. it kept me completly engaged the whole time. and i watched planet of the apes too. it was good. i was expecting more, but it was alright. the only thing that frustrates me is that i didn't catch any of the characters names. i think the main character was neil, and the villian thane. but i have a hard time hearing movies. i prefer to watch them with subtitles on. when i went to see the 4th pirates i didn't understand a thing that barbossa said. i understood the basis of what he ment by his tone of voice and body language, but i couldn't catch his words. i wish i could hear better.

vanhi

vanhi is what i have decided to name my kindle. i am using it to post right now. i have spent a lot of today reading through the giant instruction manual to try to learn how to navigate on this thing. it is a boring manual. can anyone figure out what vanhi means?

today we celebrated moms bday. we met at the pool after work to swim. then ate dinner at stelas. i got mom a chocolate cupcake decorated like her cat bogart. it was super cute and tasted fantastic. lastly we went to see rise of the planet of the apes. it was AWSOME!!!!! i recomend that everyone see it.

i got into a fight at work today. not a physical one. a yelling one. i pride myself on being able to hold my tongue and stay civil with my fellow baggers. but today lynn pushed me to far did something beyond rude. was mean to april. shes a sweet girl. i stood up for april and put lynn in her place. she really trys my last nerve.

and i'm back

thanks for all the encouraging words you guys. they made me smile and help ease my nerves. i managed to get into the 2 classes i need to be in. so i won't be loosing my id card, or my job. except now i will only be able to work on sundays, so i might not be able to teach sunday school anymore. which greatly saddens me.

now i just need to buy textbooks. but i bought a kindle today because it will be easier to have ebooks and just carry a little kindle than a bunch of textbooks. now i just have to wait for the thing to charge so i can try and use it.

work was frustrating today. there is a fellow bagger named lynn. and all the other baggers hate her. some with an intense fiery passion. i used to be friends with her, i thought she was nice. but lately she has been severly testing my nerves. she is rude and bossy and snaps at me. she starts fights, and when somebody else is having a disagreement she insists on butting in to take part int he disagreement when it doesn't involve her at all. i've been civil so far, i sincerly don't want to hurt her feelings.

i want ashley to come back. she's gone on a 2 week vacation to visit her family. at first it was nice not having somebody chasing after my heels. but then lynn started following me around, and sean bugs me more because he misses ashley. i can't stand sean either. he's violent, racist and only like sexual jokes. but when i have ashley they leave me alone. and i miss my friend. i hope she returns soon.

hiatus

i need to leave theO for awhile. i realized something last night and now i'm stressed out. school starts back up this august. i have appoximatly a month. and i'm still not fully registered, have my books, or anything. and i need to be able to register for enough classes to be considered full time. because this november when i turn 21, in order to keep my id card for the base i have to prove i'm a full time student. if i can't i loose my id card, and thereby loose my job and access to the gym. i'm really freaking out. i've loved having this summer off, but i think it was a bad thing for me. i've gotten so comfotable with not having to go to school. just work and home. i'm never taking another summer off. i've just realized how much i hate school. i'm so sick and tired of it, and i have at least 2 more years to go. i was actually considering ending it all last night. so i wouldn't have to deal with all this stress, and then all the stress of having to pass the classes. the homework and tests. i hate college. so i'm taking a break from theO. it consumes to much of my time, and i need to focus on other things right now. when i get everything taken care of i'll be back. probably in a month. see you guys later!

i totally forgot!!

today is national ice cream day! my favorite day! i had a hot fudge sundae today at the durham. would have prefered mint, but sadly that wasn't an option. i think a mint sundae would be awsome. with brownie pieces, hot fudge, some nuts and whipped cream. mmmmm.
