Yay!!!

So I am officially on holidays!!!! Yippee, etc! And what have I been doing for the last several hours to celebrate? Well, mucking about on Twitter & playing Jungle Hunt. And, guess what! I finally beat the damn game!!! It's been WEEKS of playing and finally I survived the 50 rounds (on easy mind you). I am ecstatic. I am free of work, I am free of Jungle Hunt. And, tomorrow is a brand new day! Yay!

Crack of dawn

Hal has a habit of knocking crap over for fun or to get my attention. So when he wants me to get up in the morning he will go on my side table and try to knock the picture or ornaments or lamp over... I can't help but wake up which reinforces his behaviour. He also knocks things off the bathroom counter, like my hair products, deodorant, toothpaste, and so on. He does this randomly but he makes a point of being overly noisy when he wants me to turn on the tap for him. It's funny but it also really gets on my nerves. Particularly when I want to sleep in, such as this morning. He's such a frickin' brat. How do you discipline a cat? He's not like Clyde, I can't reason with him and he does not care enough about my opinion to change his ways. He's lucky he's cute and I am a compassionate person, and also a slob. If I were more like my Mom he would be in serious trouble.

Big snow

So the Prairie folk reading this may scoff, BUT we had a big snowfall/storm today. Big meaning a whole lot and all over. I just checked the Weather Network & the forecast was about 5 cm...it looks like a lot more but maybe that's just because it's fluffy. Or maybe it's really 20 cm and they just didn't measure it correctly.

This is my proof.

Anyways, it took about 45 -50 minutes to get to work this morning & then I left early and getting home took about an hour. The drive home was much worse because there was compact ice on the highway. The temperature is going up so I anticipate tomorrow to be horrible conditions, but maybe it will be all roses and rainbows or whatever. It was nice to get home early, I have only 3 more days of work before the big holiday. Woot woot x 1000! THREE MORE DAYS!!!

This is really hilarious - watch the 2 videos:

What cracks me up the most of the tap cat is that he or she keeps doing it over and over and over...and if a person made those sounds when they drank milk it would be considered rude. Cats are awesome!

I love my umbrella

Apparently there is an Umbrella self-defence workshop this Sunday in Van. Hilarious, but perhaps deadly...

Missing the dogs but thank goodness for Vitamin D

The post-kennel week was terrible. I got uber lethargic and depressed. Work was torture. But, thanks to Vitamin D and a really fun weekend I am much better. This past weekend I actually did social stuff EVERY DAY! It was crazy. Friday was coffee, Saturday was dinner & a rock show, Sunday was brunch & a movie, and dinner...It's like I have a tonne of friends or something. Yesterday was not even that bad of a day at work, and it was a Monday! I thought I should write about the dogs a bit just for memory sake. My favourite was definitely Morley - he's such a perfect dog! Big, fuzzy, cuddly, and he's not a puller. I actually teared up when I put him away for the night the last time. Some others include Flower & Buddi - Buddi needed medicine & would always try to eat Flower's food. Flower liked playing with her Duck or Gorilla & Buddi was a licker! Cassie was a cutie pie - she is blind but actually gets around really well. When all the other dogs would start barking she always joined in. Wilson & Miller were little nutballs. Miller always growled at me when I put on his leash or tried to pet him but he LOVED playing fetch so I think he kind of liked me by the end. Wilson did circles, and circles, and circles and loved getting cuddled. Chip was a barker & a jumper but he was charming. He just wanted attention. I tried to play fetch with him but he wouldn't let go of the ball! Oreo was really cute - she loved going out & walking & would always crouch down when she wanted me to pet her. A few other dogs that left earlier in the week were Sidney (a shredder) and super high energy, Porto who understood french and was very handsome, Zoey who I had met before & I love her (she's also a jumper).

I guess I should head out for work now. Blah.
