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.
when i got to the gym this morning, i realized i didn't have my zune. which meant to music while on the eliptical. so i decided to just watch the news. and i went at a slower medium tempo, since i didn't have my fastpaced music. and i actually managed to stay on the evil machine for and hour and ten minutes. i did 5 miles.
last night mom told me that the plane air france that had gotten lost, that wrechage had been found, and that there were no suvivors. there were 228 people on that plane. 228! and maybe 6/7 kids. i feel so sad. today there was a ceremony for family and friends in the notre dame cathedral in paris. 228 people. so many. T.T i pray for for all the family and friends, and that those who died hopefully didn't have a slow painful death.
had to take ryan and his friend to the weight training class. i then went to the library next door. i found tench muyo, read the first 2 volumes, and then checked out 3-6. i'm on 5 now, and nearly finished. when i went to work i took 4 and 5 with me, to pass the time. i also got a book on disk. Dewey. it's about a cat named dewey who lives in a library.
lost my id card today. i was trying to find it, cause i can't get onto the base to get to work without it, but couldn't for the life of me remember where i had last put it.ryan thought maybe i had thrown it away accidently with my burger king trash. but then mom remembered that i had had a doctors appointment on moday(the day i last saw it). i had totally forgotten about that. i found the pants i had worn to the doctors, and there it was, in the pocket. i ended up being an hour late to work though, but i still made good tips. but i can be such a ditz when it comes to remembering where i put something.
go to this site, it's hilarious. make sure to press the big red button.
mom didn't let me go to the weight traning class with ryan. said i'm not allowed to go anywhere today. so i watched some tv, napped, ate some soup for lunch. mom made cookies. so sometime soon i must go grab them before they get all eaten.
today i was going to try to finish my pokemon gold game, and i discovered that i had already finished it before, but i guess i forgot. now i must try the red. but i can't get my pokemon strong enough to defeat misty. so i'm going to try to find a gameboy game link so i can send my strong pokemon from my gold game to my red game. then, once i finish that game, i'm going to try to find yelow, silver, crystal, and blue, and defeat them. i'm thinking of buying a gameboy advance, so that once i finish all the color game, i can move on to the advance games.
last ight, ryan started freaking out about something outside, and so mom and i went to lok, and there were 3 firetrucks, and 2 ambulances. they went to a house just down the block. ryan and i went across the street to watch from a neighbors driveway, where all the other neighbors were gathering. i stayed for a while, but it was chilly, and my stomach still didn't feel good, so i went back inside, and threw up. i then went to bed. i fell better now. the headache is gone, and was hungry so i ate a small bowl of oatmeal. i would've had toast, but the only bread we have is wheat. that's good for sandwiches, but not for toast.
mom said i couldn't go to the gym, but maybe ic an convince her to let me go to the weighttraining class ryan has to go to. he keeps complaining he's all sore. but he'll be grateful for the muscles when he becomes a bagger. i wish i would've had more when i started.
yesterday was project go day for my church. we all assembled into groups, and scattered. some groups went to different peoples houses to fix them up and paint them and whatnot, some went to nursing homes, another group went to the highway to pick up trash, and another went to the rougher part of town to do something, but i can't remember what.
i tagged along with my friend livey and her parents. they were going to help fix up someones home. but i babysat with livey. everyone that was going help with the house dropped off food and little ones at miss kelly's house, and a group of us older kids babysat, and helped prepare lunch.
went to the gym, and managed to do 3.5 miles. that's the most i've managed to do so far. had a little kids meal from burger king from lunch, but now regret. it. my stomach is all upset, and i have a killer headache.
had to go to the hospital for refills on my meds today. but i was still slightly nauseus felling during the appointment, and that really sucked.
sammie loved his baby food. but i made him share. i don't think a whole jar would settle well with his stomach anyway. the adults tried it, but didn't care all that much. but both kittens loved it. bogart inhaled his, then tried to take sammies, so i had to keep an eye on him.
mom, ryan and i went garage sale hunting this morning. found quite a few dozen of them. and i found lots of goodies. i got an opal necklace, a coca-cola pen that is covered w/ all the old fashion advertisments, some yarn, some pokemon cards, a very pretty cat pin. but best of all, the pokemon red version game for gameboy color. when i first saw it, i was like, oh no, i bet it's for gameboy advance, and i sold my advance to gamestop a few months ago. but i still have my color. i like it so much more than all the fancy things out and popular today. it's clear purple, and i can see all of the techy guts in it. and i love my new game.
we went to ihop for late breakfast early lunch. i love their hashbrowns.
when we got home, i started to play my new game, totally wanting to just skip work today. but mom kicked me out and made me go to work. meanie. but it was for the best. after work, i got some twizlers, the baby food(chicken in chicken gravy flavor) for sammie's bday, and a neat bangle. the vendor said it was real gold, but i;m not sure, and mom says it's not. but it's still very pretty. and shiny. very shiny. so i love it.
when i got home, i noticed that one of our plants in the front yard looked like it was on its deathbed. and al the others looked very very sad. so i grabbed the disney princess tin pail i found while picking strawberries yesterday, and went off. i just kept refilling it, and gereously watering the plants. if they are going to dry, it won't be from dehydration. it will be from my intense love and lots of water(i always end up killing flowers by drowning them). but the soil felt like dessert sand. and i'm pretty sure it's supposed to be dark, and rich, and moist. oh well. it should be now, with all the water i gave them.
