Getting in just in time this week for noice-ities, before it’s time to do it again tomorrow…
Noice…
- Public holidays without the guilt. Unlike Easter, I am not religious and hate the whole egg thing and ANZAC day where you feel a bit guilty having fun. We had a great weekend, spent Sunday at the park… kids having fun..me napping in the sun…forget what else we did, but I don’t remember wanting to stab them..so much have been good.
- Unemployed that is a sarcastic noice..it is not noice at all..3 days at home and I am already bored out of my brain.
- New Job start tomorrow. Nothing too exciting, another part time moderator job like I am already doing. Something different to keep me busy, and a bit more $$ for bills online shopping. Still searching for new IRL job, tho not sure exactly what to look for.
Not Noice…
- Car still borked been a week now. Guess I have no where to bloody go in it anyway. Waiting on parts from the UK. Holden wanted $530, and I can get it genuine from the UK posted for $150AUD..just means I have to wait a few days.
- Nearly losing AFW long and painful story short, host upgraded software on server, borked AFW forum database. No worries I say, lets install last nights backup..yeah, that would have been good..if there faking wasn’t one! EPIC meltdown..seems there has been backups of all the other sites on my VPS..expect the main one AFW. My fault for assuming, but FARK..why am I spending a bloody fortune for a MANAGED VPS. Support were useless, vBulletin support even more so. Managed to fix the bloody thing myself in the end. Shopping for new host.

General
large ceramic bowl+cat tail= ouch 
Poor Gemini. The kids were feeding the cats on Sunday night, the bowl fell off the bench and onto her tail.
Thankfully our vet was open yesterday. Poor baby has a huge gash in her tail which needed a few stitches, and we’ll just have to wait and see about the other damage…she may end up losing half of her tail.
She was running around crazy purring and rubbing herself on everyone and thing yesterday till the local wore off, then she was pretty miserable and in a lot of pain. She is a lot happier today, and amazingly hasn’t pulled her stitches out yet, tho not for lack of trying.
Fingers crossed the tails heals up enough for her to keep it.
Hmmm, not too easy to think of noice-ities after my last post..but, it is a great excuse for a week round up in one blog post. Come and joined Noice-ities each week and share what was noice..and not noice in your week.
Noice..
- Ben & Jerry’s..words can’t express the noice! Added bonus is the crap loads of traffic the post has gotten, noms and stats pr0n!
- Purry kitteh..is there a better sound? These pair are always super purry..there are 2, can you pick who?

- New writers over at That’s Noice starting this week, love that we can be lazy bloggers now..without the guilt…oh, and of course they are lovely peeps and it’s wonderful to have their skillz on the team
- While the post itself was not noice, all the love and support I have received from everyone has been lovely..thank you so much to everyone
Not Noice…
- This.. I can’t bare to look into the backyard, let alone go out there. Everywhere you go, seeing people with their dogs.
- Stupid farkity car decided to kill a spark plug or something on the way to work yesterday. It will be off the road till the weekend now. One would assume changing a spark plug or lead would be easy, and not cost near $300 to do so. And after all that it may turn out to be the coil pack, another $200. Mmm, be selling it when we are done me thinks.
- Resume writing and job hunting…well I haven’t gotten past the nightmare of resume writing yet. Anyone just want to give me a job so we can skip that?? Anyone?
A week in photos….
1. We went bowling- Jake, 2. We went bowling-Katelyn, 3. We went bowling-Emily, 4. We went bowling-Hayden, 5. I lost, but took childish pleasure in my score , 6. Last paw print on my new shoes, 7. Sasha, 8. borked car

Kids
If owning animals is worth it? Do the years of joy and love really make up for what comes at the end, having to say goodbye?
Today I’m not sure I can answer that. After having to make the hard decision to say good bye yet again, for the 2nd time this year…
10yrs….it doesn’t seem like nearly long enough? It is the longest we have ever had an animal (unless you count Hayden I guess) Why does it seem none of ours live to a ripe old age like other peoples..what are we doing wrong?
See ya Sasha, You were the most beautiful, amazing dog..we’ll miss you.
Come and join in the fun, and share what was noice in your week over at That’s Noice
Noice for this week….
- New shoes!
We were out shopping for Emily’s birthday shoes, and I spotted them. I have been searching for some for about 12mths, since my last pair died. They don’t make the style anymore, I thought I would never find them. Even better they were only $30..reduced from $120…WIN!! Yes, I am that boring when it comes to shoes, but why change when you are onto a good thing? (I really must fill that other foot..it looks so bare)
- Tempest 5 gum
Ok, so I think I have a bit of an addiction to this stuff. It is SO yum. I probably go through a packet a day. And..I probably should clean the wrappers out of my car.
- Da Bird
We have had a few Da birds in the past, they are always a huge hit. Alex loves it the most, and he is usually not an overly playful kitteh. Hours of fun for us and them (if they don’t find where it is stashed and destroy it)
Not Noice…
- Eye twitches
Or itwitch as it is now called. We are on day 4 of the itwitch, and it is really driving me insane. This isn’t the first time I have had a prolonged twitch..I have no idea what causes it..but OMG I wish it would fark off!
- Massages
Funny my noice-ities would include a massages just as Liz’s does..but for a completly different reason. I should have know after my past experiences with those hellish massages chairs. I have been wanting to try out a massage for ages. Finally went and had one at a new place that has opened up (yes, it is one of those cheapy places in the shopping centre and probably isn’t an indication of what a proper massage is like..but I am NEVER going back to find out) It was AWFUL..I hated it. It was so painful, how on earth people can find that relaxing I have NFI. My back was bruised and sore for days.
Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, who is SOOO old today.
After my Craft Room cupcake class, I had the stupid idea that I would make him some cupcakes to take to work. A lot of cupcake designs are very feminine though, what could I make for a bloke? BOOBS of course. Classy no?
So have been practising and preparing all week. Of course I left it till last minute as usual, and was up till midnight last night, and gave up after 16 LOL My hands are now stained every colour of the rainbow for the next week, and I have eaten enough fondant to sink a ship *blush*
After many attempts at getting a good colour, the end result wasn’t too bad.
He said he didn’t want all boobs, he’d feel bad making the ladies at work eat them. So had to come up with some other design, which I wasn’t overly pleased with the result. Guess lots of practise still needed. Need to watch some more youtube vids.
Emily’s birthday coming up in a few weeks and she has already put an order in, so maybe some more girly designs will be easier.
