6 more days till we get our puppy!

I’m not sure I have a lot to write about today but I like to write to keep track of life. For example, I looked back in my diary to find out when I got my first fish to find out how long I’ve had him. 🙂 I’ll have had him a year this coming April. So if nothing else, it’s useful for that. 🙂

I haven’t heard from my mom as to whether or not she’s coming to visit this year. I hope she does b/c we’re not going to Oklahoma until maybe December. I know her and my step-father are very excited about the puppy. Honestly, you’d think we were birthing our first child here! I think whether or not she comes and whether or not my step-dad can come with her depends on how they do with their taxes. Whether or not they get something back or have to pay in. I’m hoping they both can come. Aside from my dads parents, I’m closest to my mom and step-dad and it would mean a lot to me if I could ‘share’ my life a little better. My mom got to see the house while Kelly still owned it but I’d like her to see what we’ve done with it. I’d like to show her the chickens and the cats. All that kind of stuff. I don’t know why but Kenny hated her which was weird. When my mom visited a couple years ago and stayed with us in our apartment Kenny actually followed her around the house just to hiss at her. He’d wait outside the bathroom door for her to come out and he’d hiss at her. All I can figure is maybe he doesn’t like the smell of cigarette smoke, you know how it sticks to smokers clothes and follows them around no matter what? I think he didn’t like that. Casper and Sally loved her but both of them have smelled that before, Kenny never really has.

Kenny is a really bizarre cat. He’s extremely skittish and it’s funny because he looks to me for reassurance when we have company. When the D&D guys are over playing Kenny follows me around meowing at me. When we have guests over to dinner he’ll come over to my chair and meow and chirp at me. He’s cute.

Ah well, I should probably get to work. I’ve got a phone call to return and it’s nagging me. Guess I’ll go take care of it. I hate my phone.
