I hate coooold. there is snow and ice.
I like snow.
but iccccccccccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
on the roadssssssssssssssss
I can’t make it to work, sheeeeyyyyt.
also, it took me THREE HOURS to drive home yesterday. It usually takes thirty to forty-five minutes. why do I want to spell forty as fourty, seriously? Anyways, I was so pissed.
Dave made me stews and I ate it and I slept. then he woke me up and we played in the snow. Franklin doesn’t like snow, no sir.
we are dog sitting for our neighbor again, and timmy doesn’t like snow either. It is inconvienent, he needs to potty but he won’t. he thinks he is the alpha, it is akward.
Kitty!

My smoke alarm went off for no discernible reason today. It woke me up, and I had to throw on clothes and grab the kitty and ran outside and there was no smoke or fire or anything. I went back in and looked everywhere, and there was nothing. I am most displeased with it. I have no idea why it went off, we weren’t smoking hookah, which it doesn’t go off for anyways, we weren’t starting coals on the stove, which it doesn’t go off for either, and we weren’t burning anything in the kitchen, which it sometimes goes off for. I am seriously displeased. I mean, yeah, I was planning on getting up around noonish anyways, but to be woken up by a crappy, broken fire-alarm. Grrrrrr.
Also Franklin had some accidents this week, it is weird, because he always used his litterbox before, even when the stray kitty was here. but now I need to find stuff to get the scent of kitty urine out of things 
We might have to take him to the vet, since that is sometimes the only indication of an illness.
FOUND CAT IN DENTON, TX

Dave and I found a kitty. I am blogging about it to let you know, and on the very small possibility the kitty’s owner stumbles on my blog. (hence the title of this entry)
Well I honestly think she has been abandoned, or possibly gotten herself good and lost.
She is very friendly to every one, a little upset with Franklin though. But she likes humans, and is very nice. She is blue (grey) with gold eyes and short hair. She looks something like a Blue Russian, but is most likely an American Short Hair. She has no collar and is about two years old.
I will tell you why I think she has been abandoned. She is very thin, and very dirty. She wasn’t emaciated, but I could feel her ribs last night when I pet her. She clearly has never had her coat brushed, and was covered in dust and dirt and plant stuff. She can’t be feral, because she has no problem with humans. Last night she walked up to me and my neighbors and rubbed on us and let us pet her. I took her in and she slept on my lap. So she has clearly had contact with humans before, but is in a very poor state of health for a pet. I put up posters at our apartment complex, and tomorrow I’m going down to the pound to put up a poster there, and call them first and see if they can check her for microchips. I want to call them because I’m not sure if I must surrender her to them for that or not, because if she doesn’t have a microchip they will euthanize her in seven days.
If in one week from posting the flyer no one has contacted us, I think we will try and find a home for her. Dave and I are tentatively calling her Bast, because she acts so snooty. Hopefully she was just lost and someone will claim her. If not let me know if you want a kitty!
Eh.

Life has been weird this past week. My friend from Houston, Adam, came up to visit and it was awesome. He was driving a GT convertible and we got to ride in it, and I even helped him pick out some locations to film it at (he is a journalist, I don’t think he has a blog or I would link it). We shot the shit and had some Slurpees and generally a good time was had by all. But on Saturday Dave got the news that his aunt had passed away and we are going to her memorial service on Thursday. We still gamed on Sunday night, and it was a pretty good session (we play DnD). Yesterday we went back down to Richardson so I could hang out with Almeda, Jenny, and Chelsea, for a “girl’s night out” sort of thing. But Kim and Byron were at the sauce. I managed to miss hanging out with them and drinking the beers and I was actually in town. Irritating! Oh well, we can hang out with them some other time. I was disappointed though because I like The Flying Saucer’s beer, they have tons! But when we finished up hanging out and I called Dave they were getting their tab. Lame. Anyways, we hung out some more over at Jerry’s place, and they watched the swearing episode of Penn & Teller’s Bullshit. It is a pretty funny episode, I do like the show, but we don’t actually have a copy of any of the seasons. Some of the episodes rile up the blood though, so usually we don’t watch those twice.
And way back on Tuesday we got Franklin some worm medication, because there were eggs in his stool. The stuff smells like fish so it is easy to medicate, but it kind of made him a little unhappy. I think it made him nauseous or something, since the effects of over-dosage are vomiting and muscle seizures. But he was fine a few hours later. Anyways, we finally got our supplement in so I can give him a raw foods diet. It is much cheaper on us and better for him than dry or canned food. There was no trying to convince him to eat his chicken! As soon as I set his bowl down he started eating it all up!
Well, it is pretty late, Dave and I had a really weird night and morning and such. We slept until 3 today, about twelve hours total. And I feel so bleh, because I got way too much sleep. I always feel crappy if I sleep too much. It doesn’t seem to affect Dave though. I might have a blog tomorrow, but we are going to be gone from Thursday to Monday I believe.
We are back!

Dave and I are finally back home from our visit to our families. We stayed with Dave’s dad for a few days, and got to see Dave’s aunt who is in chemo for liver and colon cancer. She looked like she was doing well when we saw her. After visiting with Dave’s aunt we got to go see April, since Dave’s aunt lives in the north west side of Houston. I had fun hanging out with April, she even treated me, Dave, and Ben to dinner! She got me chocolates and candy and some spiffy stuff! I was pretty excited. Dave and Ben ate all the chocolates that I liked though, I only have the gross coconut and toffee chocolates left
I wish I coulda spent more time with my buds and stuff, but none of them except April were free. Susan pissed me off pretty bad, because I told her on Saturday that I’d be in Houston on Wednesday, Thursday, and maybe Friday night. And she never got ahold of me, I had to get ahold of her, and she was too busy with her other friends to come hang out and say “happy birthday”. And Friday it was her friend’s birthday so she was busy all night. Well fuck you too, I thought we were friends too. I had a goddamn birthday on Monday and you didn’t even send me a crappy e-card, but you spend all day with this other person on her birthday.
I am fucking tired of everyone ignoring! It really pisses me off! I’m not upset at Otis, because I know she has a full-time job and that was really short notice for her. But Susan and Leslie don’t work, or go to school, or anything! You’d think that people that are my friends could take the time out to at least stop by for five minutes and say hello when I’m in town! It is not like I live there anymore, I live five hours away!
Had to get that out of my system, sorry for the interruption.
That was Monday and on Tuesday we sealed Dave’s dad’s new fence for some monies and then chilled. It was actually pretty fun. I hadn’t done hard work in a long time and it felt good to break a sweat. That was about all we did on Tuesday I think.
Wednesday we woke up fairly early and drove up to visit my parents. They had just gotten back from a cruise in Alaska and had gotten me an’ Dave some souvenirs. They also got us a little bit of smoked salmon. We haven’t tried it yet, but I am excited. I love smoked salmon! They gave me my birthday gift also, a sappy card and some monies. And they had also bought me Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. The difference between it and the blue version is that it is on the GameBoy Advanced instead of the DS. But I think I like this version better so far. The controls on the DS version are a little weird and irritating. Anyways, they took us out to a movie and to eat, and I got to go to the dentist. My tooth started hurting like hell when I drank cold stuff on Saturday, totally out of the blue. I was worried it was a cavity, but it was apparently just torn tissue. So good news yey! It was a little stressful staying with my parents, since my mom is my mom. I got to visit with Jennifer and Megan though, which was pretty sweet. I had gotten a bottle of wine ’cause I thought we were going to be making fish tacos on Thursday, but it turns out my parents wanted me and Dave to pay for it all, so we didn’t. Wednesday night we watched The Rock and Jennifer fell asleep, so we took her home after it was over and went over to Megan’s to hang out. Megan and I had a glass of wine each and we watched most of Raiders of the Lost Ark, which had been retitled on the DVD release to Indian Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark for some reason. Anyways, we left around 0130 so she could get some sleep and go to work in the morning.
I woke up fairly early for us on Thursday, around 0930-ish. Dave woke up around 1300 though, lol. We went to Armand Bayou Nature Reserve and went on a trail walk. It was pretty fun. There were tons of Golden Orb Spiders. Tons! They were everywhere! It was pretty sweet, we even saw a deer. Afterwards we hung out with Jennifer again and ate at Applebee’s. Dave and I ordered poorly. I had the French onion soup and they brought it out and the bowl was filled to less than half way!! I was pretty irritated, but that Applebee’s isn’t very competent, I have found. After that we got some snack foods and went back to my parent’s and watched some movies and finished off the wine. We watched Die Hard 3 and I don’t remember what else. They all started blurring together for me. I got kinda tired a little early so I went up to bed around elevenish, but Dave and Jennifer were gabbing about comics and were pretty loud and my mom kept coming in to tell me alcohol is bad for your liver so I shouldn’t drink it, so I couldn’t really sleep. Dave did take Jennifer home eventually and we slept pretty good that night.
Friday morning we had to go back to Dave’s dad’s place ’cause Dave had to sign some stuff that day. I took a nap and played my Pearl game some. Dave’s dad and step mom got it for me for my birthday, it was so nice of them! I really like it too, it is really fun so far. I had lots of fun digging around the Underground last night also. Whee! Anyways, Dave and Ben and I all went out to eat with Freda and Jeff and we had a good time. We ate a newish Tex-Mex restaurant that had really spiffy food. I had a stuffed avacado, which I guess is really more Cal-Mex than Tex-Mex, but it was good either way! I also got to have a few Amaretto Sours, they were pretty good too. Afterwards we went back to my parent’s place and spent some time with them. But on the way there Dave got me some birthday gifts! He got me Leaf Green and the National Pokedex and he got himself Diamond. He said he is gonna get me more things too, I’m excited. Dave spoils me! Anyways, we went back to my parents and spent some time with them. I don’t really remember what we did, I was a little tired. Then me and Dave played our games and such until we got even more tired and fell asleep.
We took Franklin with us on our trip, and he really liked it at my parents’ place. Their cat, Kichou (my old kitty but she likes going outside and stuff so we didn’t take her) did really well with Franklin and Franklin seemed to really like having another cat around. We are (I am) thinking about getting another kitty if I get a job. I will hopefully be working at a local restaurant soon, it isn’t a job in Earth Science, but it is a job that pays money! I think I wanna take a little bit of a break, anyways, and work a job with no major responsibilities and just sort of exist for a season or two.
I forgot to take pictures with my dad’s camera, but we took some with our camera phones. If any of you know how to transfer the pictures from the phone to a computer please let me know, I want to show off my kitty! I know you can email it and stuff to yourself, but neither of us have the internet on our phones. Halps!
In Lake Jackson

Me an Dave are in Lake Jackson now, we drove down Friday during the day and brought Franklin with us. He really hates the cat carrier but he actually doesn’t mind the car. About halfway there I sat in the back seat and took him out of the carrier and he did fine. He had himself a very long nap, after looking around for a little bit. He doesn’t like it down here though, Dave’s dad and step mom got a new kitten and Franklin doesn’t like her at all. I think he will do better up at my parents. I’m not sure when we are visiting them though, they are on a cruise still in Alaska.
Friday night we went to the awful Fantastic Four movie, we saw it because it was bad and we were the only people in the theater so we could make fun of it. But afterwards as we were driving out of the parking lot we saw a feral cat with a kitten. We still had the cat carrier in the car and we stopped and got the kitten. I got the kitten, actually. Dave and Ben were trying to get me to leave it because “the cops are gonna come” or something stupid. He tried to hide up in a storm drain, and I caught him. We took him to the A.S.P.C.A. and they are gonna get him adjusted to humans and adopt him out. I feel very good about that. I saved a kitty from being another feral cat. There are a lot of feral cats in Lake Jackson, I have noticed. But they are all adults, and there is nothing that I can do about them. You can only catch them with a live trap, since they have never been handled by people before.
That is pretty much all that has happened, I think we are going to eat crawfish tonight. I’m pretty excited about it, I love crawfish!
