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.
So a quick late post before going to bed. I had planned on getting a teaching job for today, but after everything horrible that went down yesterday, i needed a day in bed with my kitty. So i kinda slept in, exercised, went back to bed for a nap, and crocheted. I did get out of the house for a little bit, i drove over to the hospital to finally get signed up for medical insurance, so thats all done for. And i get my weeks worth of crocheting finished off, so i can spend the rest of the week drawing. I was planning on getting reynas drawing watercolored, but totally forgot about it until just a few minutes ago. I promised i bring it in to her on friday. So i HAVE to remember to get it done tomorrow.
Tomorrow im currently scheduled for a half day subbing for science at a middle school, ive been working at lodging so much these past while that im looking forward to teaching again.
so yesterday, it was a stressful day with the vampires. the system went down at 1 for an upgrade/repair. and chrissy ducked out just before it went down for an 'appointment'. i went home later and napped, drew, my mom painted my nails with my new red, then i watched the premier of dancing with the stars.
today i didn't have to be to work till 11, so i finally got a chance to sleep in. i walked on the treadmill, and now i'm back at work with the vampires yet again. but my manager called this morning when i was getting ready about i reservation i had made, and evidently i did some things wrong according to this mysterious AFI book, which i don't know what it is. so i've asked brian about this mysterious book, because i want to know these rules so i'm not getting yelled at. when i was trained, this mystery book was never mentioned, which makes me mad. and now i'm in a ton of trouble with the managers.
for tonight, i might draw, but i'm probably going to crochet. i have a few pages drawn out with just basic skeletons, but nothing fleshed out. maybe tomorrow i'll start fleshing out the pages.
UPDATE: so i've spent most of today reading manuals when not answering the phone or sent on stupid errands. but i asked reyna, and she had no idea about those manuals, and i know my mom doesn't. so i'm not alone in the stupid boat. i'm going to ask david, will and z to see if they've heard of them.
i've made an account on deviantart.com. my username is Mindys-Person, if anybody wants to follow me that'd be awesome. i'd return the favor and follow you.
so today was just another boring day at lodging, nothing all that exciting ever happens here on the weekends. i brought my yarn in, and have gotten a lot of crocheting done though. i'll probably spend tonigh crocheting as well, and i'm hoping to get at least one page of my comic sketched out. and chores, yuck, can't forget the house cleaning chores.
but for good news, i found my other calligraphy pen! i was about to open the new set i bought yesterday, and i found my missing pen, it was in the cup upside down. so now i have to go back to the art store to return the set i bought. and my dalai lama's cat book arrived yesterday. i can't to read it, but i'm going to wait until after i finish reading the harry potter series. it's about time i find out the ending. i'm currently on book 2, so i have a ways to. i also got 2 new flavors of ben and jerry's ice cream yesterday. a peanut butter fudge, and s'mores. the PB was eaten yesterday, but today i shall celebrate and eat the s'mores.
i've also managed to convince my mom to paint my nails tomorrow. i'm okay at it, but she's REALLY good at painting nails. i finally get to try my new red!
i was so upset yesterday, i forgot to tell you guys about the pickles. they arrived when i was at the museum with daivid, but i had told my mom not to open them till i got home, i wanted to see the cats reactions. the cats attacked the package and tried to chew it open. the pickles are 6 inch knitted tubes stuffed completly with high grade organic catnip. the cats mauled me as soon as i got home, desperate for the pickles. but there's only 2 pickles, and 4 boys, so there was some fur flying when they started fighting over them.
and yesterday, two of the books i ordered arrived. lil bub's book and henri le chat noir's book. so between that and the second harry potter book, i was entertained.
today i worked, but on the weekend management and the vampires aren't here, so it's quiet and peaceful. i got a lot of drawing done. i think i'll do one more practice drawing tomorrow, then start the comic. but before work i went to donut professor and got 2 dozen donuts, i had a coupon, for myself, my brother, and my coworkers. the housekeepers were so happy. they tried to give me dollars for their donuts but i told them no. management works them to the bone so they deserved some donuts.
i plan on going to ashley's house tonight. and it's super nice outside today, so i'm going to make her walk. i want to go to the artstore again and restock my calligraphy supplies for the comic. and maybe we'll go to the park by her house too.
So last night the museum trip with david was awesome. There was a really cool Poseidon exhibit with a giant 14 foot 200 pound trident. Then we went and got some ice cream from coldstone creamery.
I got little sleep last night, so i was sleepy and groggy at work today, I'm back to the regular 7-3 hours. And the stupid phone wouldn't stop ringing! Grrr. Every time i sat down to try and get some work done, the phone would start ringing on all lines. And of course, whenever it got busy, Chrissy just to happened to be gone, so i was alone, which made me grumpy. Then a guy came and complained that one of the keys to the house he's renting is t for his house, so i wrote it in the maintenance log, and he left. Then lefler came up to me asking about when he called. I told her he didn't call, he physically came to the desk, and had watched me write in the log. She accused me of lying. I just walked away back to the front desk. I was already tired and grumpy and didn't have the patience to deal with her or Chrissy's immaturity. I swear they're worse than the middle schoolers i teach.
Chrissy found out i went to the museum, and cant keep her mouth shut. She was teasing me about dating david, fishing for gossip fodder. Mom teased me too about having a date last night (but in a nice way, not like Chrissy). But i don't think it was a date, I'm very confused. I don't think we are dating, but I'm not sure. And i didn't like Chrissy evil smirk when she was pestering me.
So tonight i wanted to run outside since it's so nice out, but i'm tired. And chrissy and lefler have drained any desire to have fun and draw out of me. Evil fun sucking vampires, those two. So i think i'll spend tonight relaxing, reading. David is lending me the harry potter series. I was so busy with college and student teaching i've never gotten to read the last two, but now i actually have some free time to do say, so yay.
