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.
those chocolate ritz things mom made didn't agree with me last night. i was up a lot last night because i had an upset stomach. and because of sammie, my brother's cat. he was howling and crying last night because he was upset he was in bed. (we put sammie and mindy in the laundry room with beds because they won't sleep peacefully in bed with us at night like texa and bogart). mom at 4 in the morning had finally had enough. she yelled (well, more like snarled) at ryan to wake up and let his cat up. and if he misbehaved then she was going to trap him in his room. but he also let mindy up, which he wasn't supposed to do. normally mindy bugs the heck out of me, wanting me to get up and give her attention. but she was actually good. curled up in the crook of my arm and slept with me. it was nice.
i took some meds this morning and felt good enough to go to water aerobics this morning. betina (the instructor) is like a drill sargent from hell. she made us hold ourselves up on the wall out of the water, and hold our arms up in the air for most of the class. painful. i think i prefer it when she uses the floaty boards as torture devises. at least then my arms stay under water.
i've spent the rest of the day in bed. my meds wore off once, so i kidnapped my mom's heating pad. i am now holding it hostage. and mindy is curled under my arm purring. i love my kitteh.
dad went with me to church today. but my kids were a handful. the volunteer helper placed in the room during first hour was someone they all REALLY like. which is nice, except they got so excited and riled up. so they were quite energetic. i managed to get half quieted down with a few games of hangman, and jessica calmed the rest down by playing in the play kitchen with them. they dug out every single dish and food item we had. by time class was over i was exhausted. those kindergarteners drain me sometimes.
i went and got my glasses adjusted. so now i can wear them. when i got home mom and dad were leaving and ryan was already gone, so i had the house to myself all afternoon. i had some lunch, vacuumed the whole house, then crashed. bogart wanted to nap with me, but between the two of us, there wasn't enough room on the couch, so he went and napped on my bed. sammie napped with me though. he layed on my feet. i feel much better now. i've spent the day reading fanfiction. but unfortunatly mom is making tacos for dinner. yuck. another thing i don't like, but the rest of my family does so we end up having it often. but she did make a desert. ritz crackers with peanut butter between them dipped in chocolate. they're so yummy!
i went to the gym this morning. ashley was supposed to go with me, but she backed out. but i did go to her house when i was done. we spent the whole day watching movies. we watched an inuyasha movie (she recently discovered anime and inuyasha), mulan, treasure planet, aristocats, and some old scooby doo episodes. but evidently ashley doesn't eat lunch. i had some peanuts after i worked out, but after a few hours i was STARVING! all she had was some frito chips. i honestly hate those chips, but i still ate some. and her house was FREEZING! i get cold extremly easy, so i was shivering cause i was stupid and only had a t-shirt. usually i bring a jacket or sweater with me everywhere i go, even in the summer but i forgot today.
when i got home i smelt chicken. i made a beeline for the kitchen and had 2 little chickens my mom had stashed in the fridge and a slice of cheesecake. my belly is full and i am happy. and warm. i'm in my bed with my kitty and blankets.
i think i'm going to post 2 more pics today. i have a bit od color to add to one, then i'm going to try to get the scanner to work for me. ryan is home, so maybe i'll bug him to help me. he's tech savvy. maybe he can get warren and scanner to play nice.
i have a souvenir from Stupid (my old laptop). it looks like a miniture cd. dad says it's from his hard drive. but there were 2 and dad gave one to ryan. grrrr. Stupid was my laptop. ryan never used him, all he did was make fun of him and laugh at him. i'm going to wait a few days, then sneak into ryan's room and take the little cd. my Stupid, my disks. (yes, i am very possesive)
i can't wear my new glasses. they are digging extremly painfully into my head behind my ears. it hurts so bad, stabbing intense pain. i'm wearing my old glasses today. i hope to be able to take my glasses back in sometime this weekend to have them adjusted.
today mom and i walked. we met at the gym, then walked over to the parade grounds and walked around them for an hour. walked a couple of miles. then walked back to the gym, and i did the elliptical for 30 minutes. but when we were walking, a bug landed on my shirt, on my boob! i screeched and flicked ot off, but then it flew around my mom's and my heads for awhile. we screeched and swatted it. that was a really mean bug!
work was okay. just hot. we actually got busy for awhile around lunchtime, and at the end of the day. i headed to the bx afterwards to try and find some new shoes. the ones i was wearing, i had completly worn down the inside to the sole of the shoe. my feet were hurting walking around in them all day. i wanted to get some of those kid shoes that light up. i found out that even though i'm a 7 in adults, i'm a 4 or 5 in kids. but there weren't any light shoes in that size. there were some heely ones (the shoes with the wheel in the heel). i thought about getting them, but then realized that with my severe lack of coordination i'd probably kill myself. i ended up then heading to walmart, but they didn't have any light shoes either. grrrr. they did have some shape up kind of shoes on sale really cheap, so i got those. i also had some subway for dinner. it was that or leftover spaqetti at home. and as i said before, i hate sqetti.
but on a happy note, the lost button will not be going to the button orphanage! i found who it belonged to. after 2 days of searching and asking everyone, i found that it belonged to walli. she even brought the shorts in to show me. it had popped of her buttoned pocket. i gave it back to her, so now it's home. she says she's going to sew it back on.
on a bad note, my parents are argueing again. they've been good for awhile, but now they're yelling at each other.
last night i finally got off my butt and drew something not school related for the first time in a long time. i drew a sandhill crane for a challange. i love it, it turned out beautifully. unfortuntly my scanner apparantly hates sandhill cranes, and when it scanned it, now it looks horrible. no way i'm going to enter it into the challange. all that hard work, for nothing.
today was the usual, gym, work, home. but my favorite weight machine was broken today, so i had to do others i don't like that much. and work was so slow today, slowest day this week. horrible. but i did get lots of reading done. i finished 'here kitty kitty' (which i totally recomend to everyone! it's awsome!) and started reading a shonen jump. i'm a year and 1/2 behind. i'm mostly through january 2010 edition. i had to dig out my collection last night. i have a huge stack to read, but it will give me plenty to do at work now that i've finished my books.
i still haven't found the button's home. it might belong to walli, but i'm not sure. if not then i shall have to put the poor dear in my button orphanage (my sewing box).
mom's making spagetti for dinner tonight. yuck! i hate sgetti.
