Hair cuts and puppy school.

September 29, 2007

The boys and I went to puppy school (took the dog too) this morning, fun was had by all. He can stand, sit, lay down, come when he’s called and enter the front door of the vets and hop on the scales. But then again I would assume that we would all do those things and more if our favorite treat is dangled infront of our noses. What a smart dog he is, or what smart dog owners we are. Again the dog came home exhausted, had a big drink of water then slept until I started the wipper-snipper (about three hours later).

The boys (not the dog) had haircuts this morning, they were both able to keep still long enough to get a decent cut. They both look great, it must have been nice to shed their winter coats, they both still  have their ears. Wow. Myself, I have discovered child ones hair straightener, and have been having some fun with that. It is amazing just how many gray hairs I can find when my hair is not so curly. Bloody heaps. Not doing anything about it at the moment a) I cant be bothered b) better wait until I have secured perm job c) I always wanted pure gray hair and d) I cant be bothered. The only winter coat I shed this week was my leg hairs, about time too, yes, Mum, occasionaly I wear a skirt to work.

Life is fairly good at the moment, the fridge, washing machine, dryer, hot water system, car, wipper-snipper, kettle and toilet lightbulbs all work, so it has been a great week.

I guess we might hear something about the Admin positions sometime soon, or get a leave notice, either way I will know whats going on. Pity I would have to wait about 12 weeks for CentrePricks to start again, but thats life.

Didn’t get to see brother Scoop and SIL…K today, but I think they had other plans this weekend, we had puppy school and it was Grand Final day, so not much hope of seeing either of them this weekend I am guessing. Good on the Cats.

It was a lovely warm day today. Ummmm, nope, I got nothing else to share.

Cya’s.

Weekend at last

Just a little something to keep you busy for about 10 seconds.

I have now applied for the Admin positions with Corrections, there are seven all over the district, closing date is 01/10/2007, wait and see which direction that takes us. Who knows???

Kids are good, cat is annoying and the dog, well, he’s a dog, and he does what a dog should do, and many things a dog shouldn’t do too, not like drink beer or anything, but things like chew whatever has been accidently left in the back yard.

Another class at puppy pre-school this morning, there were five other dogs, fun fun, great time was had by all, now he is asleep at the back door, barking and crying in his sleep. Cute. Must get the dog some chicken wings, see how he copes with that.

Work has been fun, got everything down to a fine art now, easy job. District managers meeting at our office last Friday, that was nice, met a few ‘phone voices’ putting faces to names etc. Staff are a nice mix now. Pity one of the supervisors returns to the office in two weeks, that should stir things up again.

Bloody school holidays again, two whole weeks off, yeehaa, feels like you just get into a pattern, then the holidys throw it all out again.

Sigh, going to wash the darn dishes.

Joke of the day.

A cute little joke to start things off….:

 A little boy blows up a balloon and starts flicking it all around the house with his finger. His mother tells him to stop it as he’s liable to break something, but the boy continues.

“Johnny!” Mom screams. “Knock it off.” You’re going to break something. He stops and eventually Mom leaves for a short trip to the shopping centre.

Johnny starts up with the balloon again after his mom has left for the store. He gives it one last flick and it lands in the toilet where he leaves it.

Mom comes in and while putting away the grocery gets the urge. A diarrhoea run. She can hardly make it to the toilet in time and SPLASH, out it comes.

When she’s finished, she looks down and can’t believe what she’s seeing. She’s not sure what this big brown thing is in the toilet!

She calls her doctor. The doctor is baffled as she describes the situation, but he assures her he’ll be over shortly to examine everything.

When he arrives she leads him to the bath room and he gets down on his knees and takes a long, hard look at the thing.

Finally, he takes out his pen and sort of touches it to see what it might be and POP!

The balloon explodes and poop is everywhere. On him, the walls, etc.

 ”Doctor! Doctor! Are you all right?” she asks.

He says, “I’ve been in this business for over 30 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever actually seen a fart !”

See, told you it was a cute joke….LOL … Funny too.

So, life goes on as usual, get up, go to work, come home, cook dinner, wash dishes then go to bed, next day, repeat.

Working in Corrections is fun….oh and very interesting.

All kiddies going well and in fine health.

Car going well although needs a distributer….soon.

Dog growing well, destroys back yard each week, loves pig ears.

Cat still being a cat.

Have not broken any coffee cups.

Cleaned wall at work.

Going to have a look in Toyworld today.   sigh.

Have not seen Brother Scoop and SIL….K this weekend.

So very tired..
