Carrie-on Baggage: I'm psychic-for real!

I'm psychic-for real!

It must have been fortuitous of me to learn how to blog from my phone yesterday because as I did so, Seth, who was working from home, jumped up from his work to scold Bagheera who was up on the dining room table playing with seed packets. As Seth jumped up the large cumbersome laptop of which we spoke yesterday came crashing down off the TV tray where it sat and landed on its power cord destroying the connection the jack had with the cord.
Poor Seth. He was having a really bad day. After that he attempted to fix the jack and electrocuted himself and scared the bejesus out of me when sparks flew and he jumped across the room. Then he forgot his gym pants, which he didn't realize until he was in the gym locker room. He came home and said he was going to bed but I got him up and got him to order a new computer and to go get ink to print his homework since he skipped class last night.
Jesse came over yesterday and took down all of our curtains and washed them for us. What a great brother I have. He is coming back today to mow the lawn.
Today we are getting our house cleaned by the cleaning service that my Mom hired for us! I'm so excited! We are going over to visit Grandpa while the house is being cleaned. I was going to go to the park and read and blog but I didn't know how long the cleaning would take and I didn't want to be in the park forever. It also looks like it might rain. Since Grandpa has the day off we will just visit him and I will try to sneak in a jacuzzi bath.

Some of you have been asking how my sweet Bengals have done with the baby. They actually have done really well! We haven't had any major drama besides them not sleeping with us at first. In fact they have become more friendly to visitors in the house. We say its because we neglect them. We really don't. Bagheera is not shy about coming over while I feed Evie since he knows I can't go anywhere. The like to sniff her head. That is about all the interaction they have. Bagheera gets very concerned when she cries and will come over and look at her and then look at us all distressed. Its pretty cute actually. All and all they have settled in nicely with her. Now when she learns to pull tails, that will be a different story!
Alright we are off! Hope to be back tommorow!

Love (a clean house),
Carrie

About me

An almost daily blog of Carrie's ramblings that come from her baggage in life. Carrie lives with her disgustingly smart husband, amazing daughter bulldozer son and two Bengal cats in Colorado Springs. She is an avid reader and an obsessive television watcher. She loves to travel, sleep, snuggle and generally be friggin awesome. She suffers a smartphone addiction. She makes inane pop culture references. She hopes one day someone will give her a talk show where she talks about all the tv she watches, gossip she reads about on the internet, and life observations she has. Comments and followers make me blog more frequently, its a guilt thing.

Things you should know:

Hi All!
My name is Carrie and this is my blog-I know, you are so excited.
Please feel free to leave your comments below, but if you want to contact me directly, shoot me a line at
carriehellbusch (at) gmail dot com
I think that's the fancy way everyone does it so they don't get spam.
And please don't send me mean things. That would just make me delete this whole section and it took me like 15 minutes to figure out how to put it on here. I didn't say I was a wiz at computers, I just married one-and he's busy trying to create Skynet...
Love (to ramble incessantly),
Carrie

About the Kidtens

I have two Bengal Cats-Bagheera and Willow. Willow is the girl and the spotted snow and Bagheera is the boy and the spotted dark. They are fixed so we can't breed them-my Pops is still mad at me for that. I would love to tell you about my breeder, but they were pretty horrible and apparently don't exist anymore. This could be because Bengals are illegal in Omaha (I live in Omaha's Sarpy County, which is not Omaha, it's an SID) or because they had 26 cats in a tiny corner of the basement stacked on top of each other.

Willow was actually our second choice in snows. We decided to get two because Bengals are notoriously active and we didn't want one to get lonely and eat our house while we were gone. Willow gets smarter every day. She recently figured out how to turn on the sinks, which bodes well with her love of water. She loves Seth more than anything, but has been known to cuddle with me too when I'm sad. She's a sweet girl. She also will NOT SHUT UP. If you wonder what a conversation with a cat is like, come chat with Willow. Willow is also known as Willow Bee, the Beezus, and Pretty Kitty.

Bagheera is your typical boycat. He sleeps with us most nights and we have worked out a "snacks for snuggles" barter system. He gives you love on his terms. Bagheera was born with a bad right back leg. The breeders told us that he broke it in the womb because there was too many kittens in the litter. The vet told us that he didn't know a thing about it until days later. So far he uses it like peg leg and it doesn't bother him at all. We talked to the vet about getting it fixed but the vet says the way he uses it, like a pirate, it wouldn't heal properly and he still would try to use it like he does. It doesn't bother me and it doesn't bother him so we are cool. The breeders told me they were going to put him down because they couldn't sell him and the price of the "surgery" would outweigh his "value". I practically snatched him and ran. They gave him to me for free. He has an amazing coat-show quality. I wonder if there is a cat show special olympics... Bagheera is also known as Baggy, Bags,Doots, Stinky Boy Kitty, and Buddy Bear.

Anyway that's me, Carrie-patron Saint of lost causes and handicats.
