Not another paint brush please

So today I went back to mum's to do more painting, don't know why I thought it was a good idea to volunteer for that one?? Oh that's right, she helped paint my whole house and I am thinking I might like to do some more painting in the future so best help her to have her help me. There is method to my madness. I think it turned out pretty good, we have done the bathroom, toilet and laundry. All we have to do now is the kitchen and the lounge room. Even though these are larger rooms, they will be easier as we won't be in cramped small rooms. I really feel for Kerryn now, we don't have nearly as many paint cans as she has on her blog.

I'd like to say thanks for your kind words on my blog regarding my brother in-law Jeff, Dazza didn't realise yesterday and I only told him when he got home from work. Although he did tell me that he had a crap day yesterday and wondered why? Intuition I guess.

I must also say that it appears that Demolition Dog has settled down with the exercise, thank God, although we didn't walk today due to the RAIN! I know we need it but I'm trying to accomplish something here people. Anyway, tomorrow again is another day.


Oh today I received my free copy of WF&H, actually I received 2 copies since I have restarted the challenge, both the same copies with Debra Messing on the cover. I really like Debra messing actually, I loved Will & Grace, can't get enough.

Tough day today

Today I'm having a tough time, don't know why, just am. I haven't really eaten much or drank that much for that matter. I have decided to cook roast pork for dinner so that's going to be bad, I have made the crackling so you know I'm gunna be bad. I have taken the puppies for their walk this morning but really should take them for more of a walk tonight but I just can't be bothered. I've been to mum's to do painting, unfortunately my great niece and nephew hadn't left yet so we have to make sure that they didn't end up covered in paint. Fun.

========================================

Actually I think I know why I'm down today................ today is the anniversary of my brother in-law Jeff's death. It makes me so sad because I feel like people don't take the time to mourn him the way I do. I know I can't expect others to feel the same as me and I'm sure that they do feel it in their own way. Poor Dazza may not know that its the anniversary and I'm to worried to remind him. I'm sure he mourns him everyday. I haven't been tot he cemetary today, its something that I normally do on the anniversary but not today. I think I will just say a little prayer at home today. This is the first year that I haven't gone, I think I will end up just punishing myself if I don't go, so will have to make the time to go tomorrow before mum's for more painting.

=========================================

Got my course stuff in the mail yesterday, a little disappointed in it but I've paid now so going to get my monies worth. Was going to complete another 4-5 courses throgh them but not sure now. They sent me a video, whats with that, a video, don't they know that people use DVD's now. I will have to buy a video player just to watch it or have it transferred onto a DVD!

My saviour is on her way

So I got a call from my friend Karen the super dog trainer last night ans she is coming over tonight to save my sanity. Not that anyone can really save that along with my viginity I lost it along time ago. But I have no doublt she will help me to get 'demolishion dog' under control. I must say that Molly isn't my only problem when it comes to my dogs as Becky is the noisest dog you have ever heard. As you can see in a lower post, she thinks she is a cat, sitting on top of the couch, so therefore is referred to most commonly as catdog. I tell you she barks at just about every little thing. So this much needed help is long needed. I have decided that it will be easier on me to walk them separately which Karen agrees with, so that will help me also in my exercise quest as I'll need to walk my dogs at least for an hour and a half per day. My plan is to take Becky first for 30 minutes to tire her out before taking Molly for an hour as she is the puppy (12 months) and Becky goes nuts if I take Molly anywhere without her. But my plan is to have her to tired to have to worry that she is at home alone. Go plan huh??? We'll see.

Got my email from Sportz Blitz to tell me my new finish date is 3rd August, so Kirsty you better be on my tail girl! Well better go and start this walking........................ see you in a while

============================================

Not much today

Today I haven't got a great deal to share. I did have an old car removed from my yard which was good to get rid of. Dad even let me keep the 50 bucks which was a bonus. I brought ink refills for printer, actually spent $80 on ink which I was quite proud to admit as its enough to refill our colour and black cartridges about 30 times in total making them about $2.75 each. Better than the standard $30 per pop. Again took the dogs for a walk, once only today, my hands are starting to hurt from the pulling that I'm trying to stop! *frustrating* But I will get there, I'm the 'pack leader', might even buy myself that t-shirt. But probably won't as I'm the biggest scab that there is. Thats why I'm proud to have brought the ink, normally I would just walk away and we would have no ink for months but I could hear Dazza in my ear saying' just buy the dam thing'. Actually I brought a few more things today including a soccer ball to kick around down at the oval. Thought it could double as exercise for me as well as the dogs. I had actually gone tot he store to buy weight gloves as I thought that they could double as gloves when I walk the dogs, but came home with everything except the gloves. Brought more toys for the dogs so that Molly will stop eating my furniture. She has already destructed the double ended tennis ball thing I brought yesterday, chewed right through one of the tennis balls. Lucky it was just $2.50. Tomorrow is another day.

Went to the beauty salon to be pampered today, although it didn't feel pampered at the time since it was all waxing. But tomorrow I'll be happy. For not having much to say I have written quite a bit. Now to have some ice cream. I am on holidays afterall.

Today has been............. great

Today is the first day of my 2 weeks of holidays. I have tidied up the house, drank way to much coffee, anyone for another cup??? Moved the microwave, thought about moving the lounge around before Dazza comes home, don't know, (he says the only place I haven't moved it it is the ceiling.......... can I?) vacuumed, done washing, about to do more washing, then the ironing, called to have the old car in the yard removed tomorrow and might even get 50 bucks for her, oh well for my dad anyways.

I have walked my puppies, and now they are asleep at my feet. What a nice picture. Will take them for another walk before Dazza gets home so that I can practice some knew skills I've taught them today. Will have to go to the pet store an buy another choker chain though for Molly as I am using the other on Becky at the moment. I am being strong and making sure she is not walking in front of me. Its really hard because I am used to treating her as my infant baby but I have to learn that she is a ............ shhh D O G shhhhhhhh. I will get control of these 2 Furbies before they do my head in. I must, I must, I can and I will.

All of this walking and training is also giving me some exercise so that is also good.

Oh and almost forgot to tell the sweet story on our way for our walk. Around the corner form our house is a daycare centre. The kids were all out playing when one of the kids calls, can I pat a dog. Sure I say knowing the Molly the scaredie cat isn't going to by anywhere near the fence, I drag Becky over to be pat through the fence by the child, which turns into all of the kids and the attendant at the centre. I start handing out treats for them to feed Becky through the fence. One by one they all get a go before they are all called in for lunch. maybe this is a way I can get Molly used to people and kids, so will walk them past there a few times a day for the next 2 weeks and hope for the best for poor old scaredie cat Molly.

Isn't it funny

Well today whilst Dazza was sleeping in, as per most weekends, I decided I had better get to the milk bar to get the paper and post my new photo's for the 12 week challenge. Much to my amazement, Dazza must have been woken when I went out the front door. When I got back I got the funniest question. Dazza asked "did you go for a run to the shop?" anyone who knows me knows I can't really run to save my own life. I said NO, but he said, "I could have sworn I saw you running." Well it was sort of running, you see I thought I'd give it a go, probably did a few sprints to get me there but I wouldn't class it as running or even jogging. I did however buy some cones today to take to the park to start doing some sprints. Don't know about 100metre sprints but I will try something to start. My neices, Amy and Chloe kept on asking why I was buying them and I had to keep on explaining that it was for exercise, they looked at me puzzled as the only exercise I used to do was with food and bourban, lift and scoff it was called.

The photo's re redone

So I have had Dazza take my photo's once AGAIN and will be sending in the forms tonight to start the 12 week challenge yet again. I am on holidays for 2 weeks so am planning on some good strict exercising. I also plan on doing some dog training so that I can become the 'pack leader' once again instead of having these darn dogs leading me and my decisions in life. We have now locked them out of the bedroom as of last night and my sleep was much better, didn't feel like there were 3 sleeping in a queen bed. Previously we had all 5 animals on the bed ans well as dazza and I tryig to get a good night sleep. All I have to do now is train Molly in some way so that she know that the furniture is not her chew toys as she has started to eat our NEW wooden coffee table. Not impressed let me tell you!
