What a week!

So Aaron and Kirstee came to see us this week! We've been working on trying to train Sade, but its a bit hard with Daisy whinging all the time, we've been working on "shake hands" with Sade, and trying to get her to go to the bottom of the steps when we go outside so no one trips. Here's a little video of her actually shaking hands for a piece of dog food lolz.

We really have to get on this I don't want her to end up doing whatever she wants and hurting someone by jumping on them or knocking them over, and she is slowly getting better at listening.... I guess it will just take a lot of time and patience.


So this week has been pretty good for me, on Monday I thought of a good idea for Lewy's birthday present, which I wont mention here just in case he actually reads my blog for once and wants to know what I'm making, but don't worry I've been working my fingers to the bone trying to get it done and it's coming along quite well, and once I finish it (which will hopefully be before his birthday in October) I will take lots of pictures. I also had to drive about 100ks to try on my bridesmaid dress for my friends wedding which is right after Lewy's birthday and I'm really excited!!!!

On Tuesday I was home cleaning up a little bit and then Aaron and Kirstee came down, and on Wednesday they had some errands to run and I had to work, but my three beginner girls did excellent this week! The were actually begging me to let them do doggy paddles by themselves and they spent 90% of their lesson paddling and kicking on their noodles by themselves... and this is really good because three weeks ago I had to try and hold on to all three of them at once or they would all burst into tears and start screaming at the tops of their lungs.... they only major drama we had was at the very end of their lesson when one of them noticed a lizard next to the pool and they all lost their minds.... so I had to gather them all up and we watched the lizard for a minute while i told them it was just a baby lizard and it wouldn't hurt them, I guess they were convinced it was going to attack them while they were doing their diving or something, but they calmed down and did their "big jumps" and everyone was ok in the end.

Apparently she was done with Tug-o-war

not impressed...

Today, I woke up a little bit early and accomplished more before noon than I normally do all day long XD (which is saying something). I managed to almost get breakfast cooked before Aaron and Kirstee were up, and then we went out and did our training session with the puppies, and they decided it was a nice enough day that we should take them for a nice long walk, so we did, and it was a REALLY good one, they were puffing and panting by the end of it so tuckered out it was so cute! Now I'm off to do some laundry, clean up the breakfast dishes, work out what I'm cooking for dinner tonight and then get to work on some more of the big birthday surprise!!! I'm not sure whats in store for the rest of this week, but I'm hoping it will be good, and here's hoping that all of you have a awesome weekend ahead of you as well!

it just keeps getting worse!

Only a short blog today... as I'm having to update from my phone.

On Tuesday I was finally able to move everything worth saving off my laptops old hard drive. I proceded to remove duplicate photos and songs as well as movies to free up some space. By the time I got finished it was late in the day, I still had dinner to cook so I turned the whole system off for the night planning to back everything up the next day.

Wednesday rolls around and I turn on my pc ready to back everything up so I dont lose it again... apparently karma has it in for me or something because now my pc refuses to work! Lewy had a look at it and he said windows must have compressed some files to clean up my hard drive and it compressed one of the ones it neded to run properly... now its gonna take hours to fix and thats IF we can un-compress the files. .. so no more updates until we get it sorted... sorry guys!!! ♡♡♡

A few of my favorite things....

I'm in a happy mood today! This is sort of rare considering the week I have had (and it's only Wednesday)...

So far this week my car battery died on me, causing me to miss a day of work. Lewy was already at work so he had to explain to me over the phone how to use our portable charger which plugs into the wall, poor thing was so worried I was going to kill myself I thought he was gonna come home from work to fix it for me! But I now know I am capable of charging the battery in my car all by myself.... putting a new one in was a different story and that DID have to wait until Lewy came home from work.... Now $178 later I have a full tank of petrol, and a brand new battery....

I've made some progress on my two teddy bears, and the body of the first one is almost finished, with the holidays having only just finished I haven't had much time to knit, what with stuffing m face full of cheesecake eggs and chocolate bunnies, and eating waaaayyyy too much food at the Nonna's house....

I did manage to finish a teddy before the holidays started, which is now home with little Miss Daniella...

Now since I'm in a very happy mood today I feel the need to share some of my favorite things...

1. I freaking love nachos... But most of the time when I order them at the shops the put too much sauce and not enough meat, or they are too spicy so I make my own and I can literally eat through a kilo of hamburger all by myself when I make them...
2. My girls are my life at the moment.... Sade and Daisy (yes I know they are doggies but who cares!) The keep me entertained all day long, they cuddle me when I'm sad, over all they are just like little people... and I feel like a mamma bear when people say mean things about them....
3. I love my job! Being a swimming instructor isn't for everyone, it takes a lot of  patience, which in all honesty I never thought I had, but it does give me a real sense of accomplishment when I see a kid who was scared to death of the water being able to swim by themselves and know that they learned it from me!
4. Harry Potter is like an obsession for me... I know it's weird but I could watch the movies every single day for eternity and never get bored... I have all the movies, all the books, and as you can tell if you have been reading all my blogs I have the Harry Potter Night in the works as soon as our kitchen is done...
5. My phone is like part of my hand... I feel extremely naked without it, and as much as I say I hate it we all know that's a huge lie....
6. Rainy weather... there is nothing more relaxing than curling up in bed with a nice cup of tea or hot chocolate while the rain pours away outside... and it makes it even better when Lewy is home to curl up next to me....
7. I love our house, even though it needs a lot of work and its small, I still love it to death, its ours and we can do whatever we want to do to it, and this makes me happy.
8. Books, I'm a very picky person when it comes to reading books, and while I do have a kindle so I can bring my books with me nothing compares to a real book that you can hold in your hands...
9. Crafting things is like my own personal therapy.... when I have had a rough day all I need to do is cut something out or stab some yarn with knitting needles and all that stress goes away, it drives Lewy insane sometimes but he has his stress relievers as well...
10. My most favorite thing of all? Lewy! He puts up with my crap all the time but still finds it in his heart to love me no matter what I do... I couldn't ask for a better partner (in crime or life lol)

Now here's 10 things most people don't know about me!
1. I got to see Tom Felton (Malfoy from Harry Potter) at Supernova in real life!
2. The movie Twister makes me think of my daddy and I always watch it when I miss him.
3. I hate eggplant.... no matter how its cooked.
4. When I'm home alone I crank up my music and sing at the top of my lungs (I'm surprised we still have windows)
5. I have an old ring of my dads that I wear out for luck (and I think it actually helps me)
6. I believe in ghosts, and aliens.
7. I'm the only person (that I know of) on m dad's side of the family with green eyes
8. I have about 40 pairs of scissors and I can never find a pair when I need them
9. I love big accessories, clunky long necklaces big oversized bangles and ear rings.... I have a collection
10. I am Team Edward (book version not movie version) because he reminds me of Lewy, being overprotective and willing to jump in front of a bus for me.... I'm not ashamed to admit it!

Now you have a great big insight into the life of me! Enjoy it lolz this might never happen again!
