Charolette

The first night we got here in Liberal, we were told about a pregnant smokey gray cat that had been hanging around that my grandpa had been feeding. Over the past week, she's grown more comfertable with all of us, and so close to her pregnancy, has stayed close. This morning, she gave birth to four kittens, all of which are black and have white faces, though at least one has white socks as well. Having grown fond of her, we decided to adopt her. Deciding upon a name was difficult, and it included names like 'Sassy' and 'Celest'. Though, on the recommendation of Michael, my boyfriend, we finally decided to call her Charolette, Charlie for short. I have a few pictures of her from my phone, but once we finish moving her and her kittens into the house, I'll take more and edit the links here. =)

First Day of Work

So in order to earn money for my band trip over the upcoming New Year's; I decided that I needed to earn money while I was away in Kansas. Part of what I'm doing is babysitting my mom's boyfriend's daughter, Paige, which I will do generally Thursday - Saturday. That's a fairly good gig, as it's $30 a day, so if I do it three days, that's already $90. However, on the other days that I'm not babysitting, I decided that I would work at my grandpa's appliance store. I'm only working 2 hours or so a day, but it's not bad, as that hopefully means that combinded between babysitting and working there, I'll have a total of at least $100 a week.

I worked at the shop for the first time today; and I cleaned out the inside of a fridge, cleaned the outside of a stainless steel fridge in the window, took out the trash (the trashcan smelled like beer), and dusted the tops of some of the appliances. It was very uneventful. Still, cash is cash.

I <3 Michael!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDSEY!
