Dentist trip

This is the way we go to the dentist, go to the dentist, go to the dentist.
This is the way we go to the dentist so early in the morning.

Yep, that's true. Bright and early at 9 AM we went to pick up Jesse's grandma and headed out to the dentist. Our appointments started at 10. Since this was the first time visit for me there at Jesse's dentist I had to fill out a medical form. So... I filled it out with all the correct answers and checks and stuff. You see, I am a college graduate so I can read and write and answer questions "correctly". I got to this section where you check "yes" or "no" and started filling it out. I skipped one question needing to ask something about it and continued on down. Then I had to skip another question. This is when I noticed that while I was putting a "no" check for all these questions, that I had misread where the "no" and "yes" were. So instead of saying "no" to do you have cancer, do you smoke, do you have aids - I was putting "yes". Uggggg, I felt so stupid, so dumb. I went up to the receptionist and told her that I had made a mistake (hoping she would give me a new paper) but all she did was put wriggly lines though all my mistake answers and put a single solitary check on "no".

Well, there is a good note to all this.

I DON'T HAVE CAVETIES!!!!

GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We just got a phone call asking if I could go in to sub today at the Day Care.
Well, that sounds to me like if I have a part-time job, doesn't it?

I will be working from 11 to 6.

I AM SO HAPPY!!!! can you tell?

Day Care maybe

For some weeks or even months I have been thinking of doing something for a few hours a week.  A job maybe but I didn’t really know what I wanted or where I was thinking of heading.  Well, on Sunday there was an announcement in the church bulletin about sub needed for the school day care.  So I have filled out an application and will find out later this week or maybe next week if I have a job as a substitute day care worker.

Itsuki's surfing

No, I am not talking about surfing the web. If you recall a while back I had written all that Itsuki would or could do on the computer.
Anyway I am talking about real surfing but not the time you would do on the water.
Ok ok I can hear you all shouting GET TO THE POINT.

We have a TV table in our computer room. On top of the table is a small rectangular box about 2 inches high and about 7 by 10 in width and length.

Itsuki ran into the room and jumped up on the table. Unfortunatly she landed on the box that continued to move with Itsuki's velocity. Just as it came to the other side of the table the box and Itsuki slid to a stop. Itsuki looked at us like "good, I am safe" and then PLOP both box and Itsuki first teetered and then fell to the ground.

Ok, so it was funny the first time but then about 5 minutes later Itsuki did the very same thing. So did she have a short memory span and forget about it or did she like it so much that she tried to do it again?
who knows.

plumbing problems

I have thought of Rebecca and her fixing up the bathroom a lot this past month.
Why? you ask.
Thanks for asking!

Sometime about a month ago the toilet started not flushing properly. Basically it would overflow.

To make a long story short, Jesse fixed it and now we have a working toilet. And I have a bathroom to clean.

Itsuki

Itsuki, who is really Jesse's kitten but has made me her person, is one of the most loveable, friendly, and trusting kitten/cat I have ever seen. She lets me holdher like a little baby (back down, stomach up). Recently though, she has made Jesse her person and Rascal is taking a better liking to me.

She is our alarm clock ... at 5:00AM. She loves rubbing noses with you. All she wants is for you to touch her and to hold her. One time I was looking at recipes and she wanted me to hold her. I picked her up and held her with her right legs hanging down one side of my arm and the left legs the other side. Her head was between two of my fingers. She just sat there and "read" along with me as I flipped the pages.





There is only one way to lay down in bed acording to Itsuki. That is on your back. If she finds me or Jesse on our stomach she will push her little head against our chin and "try" to push us over. She will meow and push and meow some more. She won't give up until you turn over. The she leaps up on use and proceeds to make herself confortable.








This is possibly the first picture I took of Rascal and Itsuki. Rascal is on the left and Itsuki is on the right. Itsuki had bitten out her stickes and had to wear a collar in order for her wound to heal. I think the look cute.







This last picture is of Itsuki sleeping on the desk. She seems soooooo comfortable. (I wouldn't be.)

Rascal

OUR LITTLE RASCAL








Rascal and the other felines in our family love playing with boxes.




It is very hard to write about Rascal and not include Itsuki. Also most pictures have both kittens in them. But I will try to give each on a seperate post.

Rascal can be discribed in one word: rascal. Yup she is a rascal. Oh and yes Rascal is a female. All our kitties are female just in case you didn't realize that.

OK, back to Rascal. Jesse says that Rascal is how Sakura was when she was little. For that reason Sakura really doesn't like Rascal. Oh she tolerates her but if Rascal starts playing with her or gets too close, PLUNK, plunk plunk. Sakura doesn't hesitate in showing Rascal that she is displeased with something.
Rascal is also very curious. She will be the one to climb up on to something to examine it. And if I or Jesse comes into the room, PLOP, she jumps down from where she is and runs away. Expecially if it is in the kitchen. She has learned that the counters, kitchen table, china cabinet, and desk in the bedroom are all off limits and are all also good places to stimulate her curiousity. BUT that doesn't stop her from getting on them. She will just run and hid for a few minutes and then come back and ask forgiveness for doing wrong.

She loves to get under the covers and sleep between my legs. Oh and she also LOVES to clean everyone. She has done my entire face about 2 or 3 times. And she also makes sure Jesse's arm hairs are in perfect formation.

Recently she has been cuddling with me a lot. That is very suprizing because she doesn't like to be cuddled or held like a little baby. But lately she has taken a real liking to stuff like that. Jesse says it is possibly because she is sorry for the "bad" things she does and comes to me for forgiveness.

We bought a play mouse for Sakura before we got the kittens, but now Rascal has claimed it and so Sakura will have no use to it. Rascal will flip it up into the air and then catch it. She will bat it around and chase it. And she carries it around EVERYWHERE in her mouth.

By the way, Rascal is my kitty. All the others are Jesse's except for Tomoyo who is no ones. Jesse told me to say that Rascal is up for adoption but NO CAN DO! He would have to put me up for adoption WITH her!!!!!

Long time no post

Sorry guys and gals - we have been a little busy and lax in our posting. Not that there wasn't things to write about but ... well... time just flew.
I had a sinus infection that really put me down for a while. And Jesse has been on Safari with Theodore Roosevelt. (Arsenic and Old Lace)

Thought we should say that we are ok and still kicking.
