My Family!

 

Hello out there, in bloggy bloggy land!! 🙂
Tis I, Kristin Michelle Miller, here on this beautiful father’s day to write a HAPPY bloggy bloggy for once. LOL
This has been the absolute most kickass weekend I can ever remember!! Like seriously, the BEST. Its been SO happy, and SO carefree. Its been truly simply just amazing. Let me take you back to friday night…

 

Went to crown point directly from work, to meet Rai at the phone place to get her her birthday phone. Turned out, they changed my fave phone place to VERIZON!!! EWWW~!! So we went to the tattoo place, and she got her nose ring changed out. After that, we went to the other at&t store over by stracks, and they guy took care of us. We got a decent rate plan, she got a KICKASS phone, and he even hooked me up with an employee discount, cuz apparently I now work for Home Depot. lol Who cares, I will take it!! All that was done with little to no effort, and yeah it was greeeeat!! LOL

After that, I went to the corn roast. Met up with my mom, dad, Uncle Mike, and his gf Jody. We had SO much fun, and got some great, "Hey look, its the corn roast, and I’m eating corn" pictures. 😛 Was an absolute BLAST!!! We watched my favorite band, Highway perform, (I LOVE THEM SOOOO MUCH) and ate corn. I also had a philly cheese steak sammich. It was deeeeeeeeelicious! And a lemonade. lol

After that, we went back to mom’s house…..sat around, drinking coffee, laughing, and talking and having a great time. They left, and Angela…my little brother’s fiance came out….and she and i talked joked and played dominoes. Mom and Dad watched…they went to bed, and we played alone. It was cool spending time with her again, my lil bro was sleeeeeping! LOL Lame ass! At one point, she had to fart, and so she let er rip…as she tends to do….then said…"Oh no, I think I shit my pants!!" lol So she went ot the bathroom, to check out the situation….and then comes back…and says…do you wanna hear something gross.

Now I love grossology, and am always up for a sick story, so i said sure…go for it. lol

Apparently, the pastor who is marrying them next may, told them they had to abstain from sex until the wedding. Well they decided that Anal sex doesn’t count, so thats been par for course lately. LOL Apparently, since they had sex last she hadn’t yet gone to the bathroom…so when she farted….err…yeah. That’s what that was!! LMAO!!

I laughed so hard….god that was funny!!

So I stayed til about 2am, went home, and got on the computer, ans talked to my friend Jenny for awhile. I have known Jenny for a million years it seems, and I just love her to death. It was sooo nice to get to talk to her for a bit. Its been sooo long. I miss her tons and bunches. She is having surgery on tuesday, and hopefully that will fix her pain. She has a lot of things wrong ewith her, poor girl. And is in alot of pain.

So then yesterday, saturday. I was supposed to babysit Rai’s kids, so she and her husband could go out to dinner, and just generally spend some time together. Well Christy was bored, so she asked if she could come over, and just hang out on the computer, making CD’s and all that while me and the kids play at the pool and whatever. I didn’t see a problem with that, so I said sure. 😛 So then it comes out that throughout the WHOLE day people just kept calling, and stopping by. This is the list of everybody that was in my house yesterday. lol I didn’t even realize I KNEW that many people, but oh was it fun. I had such a good time, I truly did.

I think that might be everybody….but I am not completely sure. But we all had sitting room, and it was fine. I made dinner, and didn’t fuck it up, and we talked laughed, joked and just had a fantastic time for hours and hours and hours….

 

I mean seriously, it was sooo nice to see everyone…and I had fun with the kids, the kids had fun with the other kids…my animals got spoiled ROTTEN by everyone…which is something I always like, cuz I feel like they don’t get enough attention with just me. I always feel like they are neglected, because I am so busy. Nate and Dawn come over, and the birds are out the WHOLE time because they love to spoil them. Bree and Justine come over, and the rats are out, because Bree is rat girl. lol Titus is spoiled rotten by all, but I think Bree wins in that aspect. lol Those two are just joined at the hip. Jakey is fed table scraps by everyone, which HE loves. My animals get spoiled, and that just makes me happy. I love getting them socialized. Thats the trouble with taking in rescues. Its very difficult to properly socialize them, unless  you know alot of animal people. You ahve to be persistant with rescues sometimes. They don’t always take to people right awya. Now my rats are not rescues. They are petstore rats, and then my new rat is from a breeder. (I am getting a hairless dumbo rat, who is absolutely adorable, and is grey with a diamond on his forehead) My animals, even my cranky old man bird are just THRIVING with all the attention they have been receiving. I have never seen the birds more happy, and well adjusted. Even hungry is mellowing. He doesn’t even TRY to bite Nate anymore….he even talks and looks calm while PERCHING….something Hungry is not altogether comfortable with.

Alfie,.he is getting a little snippy under all the attention. lol He is ussually my sweet boy, but with all this attention has his cranky moments. LOL He is just showing his true color personality. Ever since Spike died, Alfie has never quite been the same. They were joined at the hip…they loved each other sooo much.

The rats…

Oliver is my big giant sweet boy. lol He is calm, and relaxed, and easygoing. He is under the impression that everyone has food, and will lick and nibble at your fingers til he finds something good to eat. lol He is completely content to just sit on your shoulder, and snuggle. Even with the kids. He CRAVES human touch, and will actually crawl right into your hand.

Templeton is not quite the same. He has tons more energy, and isn’t content to just sit on you. He isn’t quite as poeple friendly, and while he doesn’t bite or anything..he just isn’t content to just lay there on you. He constantly moves, and I wonder if he doesn’t have a cold. I see him sneezing and cleaning himself alot. It could be though, that he just wants the people scent off of him. I will have to be persistent with that one, cuz nobody else wants him because he is so nervous. Everyone wants my fat sweet boy. I think that perhaps when he gets a little bigger, a little older, he will be more content to snuggle. He is soo tiny right now…lol Oliver is almost double his size.

The lady who is getting my rat for me….the hairless one called me a little bit ago, and said she got my

rattie, and that he is ssooo adorable and sooo beatufiul and she almost wants to keep him for herself cuz he is just too precious. Apparently, he is gray with a white diamond. And he is a hairless dumbo, which means he has these little round ears, set VERY low on his head. They look soooo different from normal ratties, so I can’t wait. And he is a totally hairless, which means not even short fine hairs. TOO CUTE!!!

My cat and dogs have adjusted to the ratties perfectly. At first, Jakey wanted to sleep in the cage with them, but he has since tired of even caring aobut their existance. He lets them crawl all over him, and doesn;t care. My Yorkie is the same way. He doesn’t care in the SLIGHTEST about them. He quite ignores them. You can put them in his face, and he will just either sniff em, or walk away. That is AMAZING for a Yorkie. I seriously have the best animals. I am so glad I took the ones I did when they were offered to me. I don’t remember if I ever wrote about their situations in here, when I first got them.

 

Jakey came to me from St. Louis, Missiouri. I was a member of Bump in the Night, a ghost hunting group. We had a member of the group who was a witch, and she used to work/hang out at one of my favorite stores in the world, called Witchy Wearables. Well one time, she breeds hairless cats, which is one of my dream cats, so we got to talking and she mentioned that she had to leave to go to st. louis immediately, to pick up kittens from her sister. Apparently, this Grand Champion Himalayan cat, knocked up the neighborhood whore cat, and they werre going to kill all the kittens, because they did not want his champion bloodline tarnished so they were going to destroy all the kittens. OH NOOO!!! So she hightailed it out there, and grabbed them, and offered me one that looked like a Himy…(my other dream cat) I jumped at the chance to possibly own one of my favorite cats int he world. Well he had the markings, but not the temperment or the fur. He honestly looks more like a muddy siamese,and has the temperment to match. lol He is such an ass, but is the BEST kitty I have ever known. He is perfect. He has SO MUCH personality….and is a one person cat…MINE!! LOL So yeah it works for me. He has mellowed alot since we moved here….he likes being out of my parents house. He loves the slower pace we lead here, and he loves being one of only two animals that walk on the floor. lol Everyone else is in cages, so he feels like he rules the roost. And he was here first…we brought him a full week alone to get used to it, before we brought Titus here.

 

Titus’s story is a little bit different, and definitely more sad. My friend at work Allison found him about 2 years ago wandering around her trailer park in a rainstorm. His hair was tangled and matted, he was starved, and scared as hell. He had obviously been outside a long time, and nobody claimed him. She gave him to her friend Vicky, who kept him for about a year before she got a divorce, and had to leave him with her ex husband. She couldn’t have pets where she went, so all the aniamsl stayed with him. He didn’t want the animals, so he left them in a cage in the laundry room, with no food or water or letting him potty for at least a WEEK before Vicky found out, and stole him back. He was standing in piles of his own piss and shit, and was sooo skinny….when she gave him to me, he weighed only two pounds, at 5 years old. Was completely emaciated, and just looked like hell. His coat wasdull and lifeless, and he quite honestly looked like hell. He was shaking so hard….oh the poor thing. I fell in love with him imediately. I couldn’t believe how TINY he was. Lemme tell ya, he is still a small guy, but he is now a bouncing 4 pounds of dog, and is actually a little on the chubby side. lol I feed my animals. They NEVER go hungry in my house. lol He has become the most perfect pet. He is a sweetheart with people, but he was always a litle bit scared of kids, and very agressive toward male dogs. He has almost completely outgrown the male dog thing, unless chanllenged. He doesn’t like anybodys nose stuck up his buttt. lol But he is so much more social with other dogs now, and he loves kids. Where they used to terrify him, he now takes it all in stride, and lets them do anything they could ever want to him. The nervousness is mostly gone, unless someone accidentally hurts him, nad he worships the ground Bree walks on. He has just become a perfect perfect animal. Moving out of my parents house was honestly the BEST thing I could have ever done for my pets. I miss my Bruno tho. He will have to be put to sleep soon, as he isn’t doing well. But when I go over there, his little sad eyes just light up, and even though it hurts him, he still jumps up to give me a hug and kiss. That dog is truly something special.

 

So anyway let me finish last night. So yes…my million friends, all in the same room together, all getting along….amazingly enough. That has never happened. LOL And Daren…with three ex girlfriends in one room PLUS his wife…and he took that in stride too. lol Poor guy.

The kids all playing…you know I wanna start hosting family BBQ’s like that more often. Everybody getting together at my place, cook some food, everyone talking laughing, kids running and playing. That is my PERFECT life. I mean honestly, my  PERFECT life. I want that. I loved having everybody around. It was mass chaos and I loved every second of it. Jaime was annoying me a bit, because she is just SO freaking anti social. She makes people feel VERY unwelcome. Now when its HER people…thats a different story…but yeah…when its MY people….GRR!!!

So anyway…yeah apparently have a tail light out…and got pulled over last night..

people didn’t leave here til 1:30 am…i had to take Christy home….nate and i got back here after 3:30…

And I had the best weekend of my life..
