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.

brothers bday

ryan decided that for his bday this year he wanted to go to coca keys, an indoor water park. it was AWSOME. he and mom had been there before, but that was my first time. i spent basically the entire time going down the giant water slides on innertubes. but the giant staircase to get up to the slide entrance iskiller. i definatley got lots of exercise. then we went out to eat at some strang place that was okay, but the rest worship it. oh well. today i had to ring handbells with my bell choir for church service. today is my dad's last day visiting us. then it's back to korea for another 6 months. but then he will retire and finally be home for good.

it will be sammies bday soon. he'll be a year old in june. i need to figure out something special for him, but am at a loss. any ideas?

yesterday

Mom and dad decided that they wanted to repaint the yellow on our upstairs. The house was a mess.

All the cats took up different places in the house.
Mindy went under my bed and napped.

Texa decided under the kitchen table was best, where there was a nice breeze from the open patio window.

Sammie decided to keep watch over our hanging stuff while it rested on the floor.

Boggart, on the other hand, wanted some adventure. And he decided to climb the latter dad had set up so that he would be able to reach the roof.

He also decided that standing on top of our door was a fun idea too.

After that, he decided to go the rest of the way up the ladder, to the very top.

But eventually, it had to end, and dad had to go up and rescue him.

And that was our fun for the day.

been a while

we did get another cat. around xmas. he is an all grey with thick soft fur. he has a slightly smooshed face, and is the sweetest thing in the whole world. he is a little slow though, and not all that bight. but we love him all the same. i think he was the runt of the litter, because he is smaller than bogart, but is older than bogart, by a month. bogart is going to be a BIG boy when full grown,

i am officially done w/ high school. i graduated this past sat. i've bben so bored, though. i bought this exercise video from the show Dancing With The Stars, and now my knees are killing me. the paso doble involves a lot of lunges and knee bending moves. i aslo had to work tonight. managed to make enought to get both my brothers nd ashleys b-day gift.

PS-sammie is the gray cat, bogart the brown tabby. id odn't know why, but every pic i take of sammie, he looks glaring and evil, when he's actually a sweet cat, and bogart looks all innocent, and he rarely ever is.

the ACT is evil

mom wants to get another kitten. then we would have 4 cats. it would have to be a boy, because Mindy will not tolerate another female cat. so she would have 3 brothers. i don't think she would like this all to well. she barely tolerates Texa and Bogart. but i think i want another kitten too. we would need to buy another jumbo dog kennal, small box, and bed.

yesterday, i had to get up early cause i had to go and take the ACT. and once i was there, i relized that i had forgotten my calculator and pencils. i ended up doing the math section by hand. then, after the test, i came home, ate some lunch, and took a quick nap. i called mom before i headed to work. seems she decided to go see Bolt with my brother. and she knew how much i wanted to see that movi, but she decided to go without me. and after i had gotten off from work, we had planned to go see a movie together, but since she had seen one in the morning, she didn't feel like seiing another, which rally made me sad, because i was really looking forward to spending some time with just her. i never get to do that. she always either decided to do something with my brother instead, or drags him along with us. but, thankfully, my brother found someone to watch him, and i managed to convince my mom to still go with me. we saw Changling. it is an awsome movie, but very sad.
