It wasn't so hard to settle back into the routine of work more so, it was hard when there's little to do except the crappy stuff. But that's another story.

It's pretty cool that outside of work, there have been numerous events to keep one busy. We did a huge chinese seafood dinner in Bevo with Jan and friends. 3 whopping crabs and 2 massive plates of pipis and a giant fish plus the usual non-seafood dishes. Between 14 of us... and guess what? We demolished it. Hands down, this crowd can eat. And eat lots. Something I will always admire about this bunch because it does not matter how much food it on the table.

I also signed up to city2surf. Here we go!

And dog date, pizza, buffalo wings, pimms, rush hour 2 and dixit as an impromptu and very informal dinner thing at my place. Again... 4 pizzas, salad and 2 whole kgs of chicken wings... demolished between 5!!! We were going to go to another person's place but a few unfortunate events occurred. Mac and Maxxie got into a fight. Mac also ran into the glass door (LOL moment of the night). There was blood but no one was seriously injured. Oscar and Nessie soo chill. And man... North Turramurra is a long drive to my place. So I'm so glad they came.

Finally got around to restocking the baking fridge. Was out of all dairy and I've got orders coming up... gotta turn that oven back on.

5 hour return drive for this little terror today

Welcome to the family!

yum cha@st george leagues club: TWO thumbs up. awesome. so much better than sunnys yesterday. like epic good service and yummy food and UNchipped porcelain.

and my sister was like.. a machine.
whats with the chicken feet fascination?

but free tea AND free egg tarts. yeah, i'm fast becoming the next VIP. lol NOT. but srly, i will def be back.

came back. decided to go burn some calories by taking my mutts to the park. and there were two other dogs there. but we took over the park. hahahahaha. like.. they saw and and left soon after. what baffled me was that both the owners took their dogs to the park IN A CAR.

i mean, unless u live very far away (and if u did, why can't u find a local park and walk there), what is the point of taking your dog out if theyre not going to walk there???

nessie is so lazy that she wouldnt run after the ball unless i ran after it. completed defeats the purpose.

scout, well, he was tied up on his extra long leash. lol but i think he was happy.

shame it got really hot and sunny. didn't stay too long cause dogs and sun dont go so well. but awesome~

i feel like i did so much today because i went to the gym and then went to my monday lecture and handed in my assignment at uni, came home and walked my doggies, then went to the newsagency to get a piece of poster cardboard and coles to get groceries. and it was still only about 5 pm. lol.

anyway,

nessie scared the shit out of me today. i was trying to clean her ears in the wash basin outside. and the silly girl leaps OFF.. its like at least a metre from the ground. and i was like..

OMFG
OMFG

but she got up. and she was fine. she leaped off the back of the couch once too... hmm. maybe she a cattle x cat. lols. i mean, we dont know exactly.

scout is so much smarter. he knows when i clean his ears, it makes him feel better so he endures. such a smart cookie. and extremely picky eater. and is so 'metro' dog a boy doggie. he eats slow. and clean. and has manners in a way. he doesnt jump at you. he knows when we're trying to help. and when he's in trouble. the only thing is he likes to walk you rather than the other way around.

nessie is a very messy pupppppyy.

went grocery shopping for the sole purpose of buying dog food.

lots of it.

dry
canned
treats
dog shampoo

we were in line, and the lady in front of us, 3 kids and another one of the way, racked up a grocery bill of $620. i was like... wow.

meet nessie, shes my new australian cross cattledog. and shes beautiful.

we picked her up from the rspca today. it was a close call. cause if i'd been 5 minutes earlier, nessie would be a chocolate and white "jasper" (which is her brother). but as an afterthough, valerie, dad and i had decided that nessie was the better choice. she was lighter, brighter, happier and more playful. her brother was down, fat and lazy.

went to arvo tea - hk style (yeah, i'm livin in the past) with valerie. then we went to get puppy food and toys and whatever else puppies need. a brush. still need to get her a kennel. but don't think she needs one yet.

she's not allowed to be walked yet cause she still needs to get her booster shots. but shes smart and she's already learning how to sit!

scout's a bit jealous when we only pay her attention. but he's being an awesome big brother to 'miu miu'. he keeps an eye out for her and makes sure she doesn't go where she's not supposed to. =)
