The Dark Knight!

Sun, 03 Aug 2008 02:46:41 GMT

I saw The Dark Knight last night and it is AWESOME!! Yep you have probably all seen it already but just wanted to say. I was most upset when the batmobile got blown up! I loved that "car"!

Also Christan Bale is a bit of eye candy, which is funny cause I've never really liked him or found him attractive (too many harsh jaw and cheek bones). I had this conversation with doggypanter last night and I have come to the conclusion that it is just because he is Batman that makes him swooney like! Batman is sexy no matter who plays him!!!!

Little comfort

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 01:48:24 GMT

So I have just spent the morning at the doctors surgery. Unfortunately our poor little guy bit me last night completely unintentionally when we were trying to save him and being that I was so upset I didn't wash the bite wound as I always do when bitten by an animal. Come this morning my hand is all red and puffy with yucky stuff coming out of the wound. A round of antibiotics for me.

One of our vets had a look at him for us last night and it turns out that he had a very enlarged lymph node at the site where his intestine and stomach meet. Although not tested we are all sure it was cancerous considering the history and so we never would have been able to do anything for him anyway. I guess that its good that he didn't suffer any longer but man is it leaving a hole in our life.

Goodbye Bertie Beetle

Our cat Bert just died. He's been really sick the last week and has been in at work.

He ate greenies his favourite treat out of my hand and was all smoochy and then 5 minutes later he died. I'm grateful it was quick and I guess that I was there but I just feel so bad that we couldn't do anything for him.

There's no more Bert & Ernie. Now there's just Ernie and Thingy. How can you have Ernie without Bert? Just have to now I guess.

He was a great friend and I'll miss you heaps Bertie Beetle

Crappy TV

Sun, 18 May 2008 07:35:31 GMT

So a few months back I said that my new favourite TV show was moonlight. Well since 9 wasn't showing it anymore I started watching it on the Internet. I have become more and more interested in the show and yup it was still my favourite. Now CBS has cancelled it and there won't be a second season!

I know that I was just about the only one out of everyone who knows me that liked it but very few tv shows "grab me" now days but moonlight did and now I am to be bored once more. I am so sick to death of reality shows and just want a drama that I could really get into is that too much to ask for??? Apparently it is so now I just will wander aimlessly for god knows how long until I can find something else which will be ages if the past is anything to go on.

crap crap crap!

I'm an adopted Auntie!

BIG, BIG, BIG Congratulations to mrs_jag and hubby Karl on the arrival of Henry James born Friday 21st March 2008 at 6.17pm weighing 7 pounds 1 oz. He caught us all by surprise coming a bit early but all is well. He is very cute even when he cries.

I am now a very proud adopted auntie!

I should just stop watching TV

Wed, 06 Feb 2008 12:18:09 GMT

I love the show Moonlight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This I think will become MY new TV show. The one I have to watch no matter what and requires being taped if I'm gonna miss an episode for some reason.
I haven't been this excited and crazed about a TV show since ALIAS and come to think of it that's probably incorrect cause in the end I did miss episodes to wait for the DVD to come out (Stupid Channel 7 putting it on at 11pm at night).

Correction:

I haven't been this excited and passionate about a show since Buffy! I couldn't miss that show ever and refused to check the Internet for what was going on with it cause I liked to be surprised and shocked even when I didn't agree with what they always did.

Anyway I loooovvveeee this show and guess what??? STUPID CHANNEL 9 IS NOT SHOWING IT ANYMORE (insert extremely grumpy face here) Well at least that is what I understand cause its not on tonight and thats the word I hear. Hope I'm wrong and its back on next week cause I am not interested in watching anything else!

What pisses me off the most is that they have stopped it at Episode 8 and there are 12 episodes in the season. Why do the stations constantly stop shows before they have finished the season? Back years ago they never did that and I long for the time they show a series each week at the same time for the entire season.

I must have a thing for Vampires me thinks as there seems to be a pattern here. I love the take on vampires this show has gone for making it fresh and different. It could have been the same and boring and just another vampire show that had been done before but its not and I love it.

Also gotta love Alex O'Loughlin (main character Mick) now there is someone who could hypothetically stick his slippers under my bed anyday (obviously cause I'm married, sorry I love you honey!) He is Australian too!

I hope it stays on TV otherwise I shall be bitterly upset

You are The High Priestess

Science, Wisdom, Knowledge, Education.

The High Priestess is the card of knowledge, instinctual, supernatural, secret knowledge. She holds scrolls of arcane information that she might, or might not reveal to you. The moon crown on her head as well as the crescent by her foot indicates her willingness to illuminate what you otherwise might not see, reveal the secrets you need to know. The High Priestess is also associated with the moon however and can also indicate change or fluxuation, particularily when it comes to your moods.

A wandering spirit caring for a multitude of just concerns, you are an instrumental power in many of the causes around you.

And so am I, very dangerous: more dangerous than anything you will ever meet, unless you are brought alive before the seat of the Dark Lord.

Sick

Sat, 23 Jun 2007 04:54:46 GMT

I'm Sick. I'm grumpy also.

Been sick since Tuesday and have had enough of this flu thing! Want to leave the house but don't have the energy or wellness to do so.

Hate being sick.

Insects

Tue, 30 Jan 2007 11:03:01 GMT

I came home from work today to be greeted by ants crawling all over the kitchen and lounge room. Joy of joys!!! They got into the honey in the pantry and even in the fridge (however all were dead in the fridge) I managed to follow their trail from the kitchen down the hall and across the lounge room out the front door. With a "fun times about to end guys!" I sprayed them all with insect spray. Subsequently I spent an hour cleaning up the kitchen from the spray. Pain in the ass!!!!

Birthday time

Quick trip to Melbourne

Fri, 19 May 2006 14:20:59 GMT

Tomorrow morning, we are off to Melbourne! We are going cause our major drug company at work are so nice that they are having a dinner at the aquarium (I think it will be so cool!) and told me a couple of months ago that they had reserved a place for me and my husband all expenses paid! I love the few perks I get
with my job. The dinner is very fancy and I had to borrow a dress from M (My sister in law) cause I just don't get dressed up like that and I haven't been that dressy since our wedding. It is going to be so much fun and this will be my third year in a row of going to Melbourne but my first with my doggypanter. He hasn't been there since he was 5 and I've got a pretty good idea of how to get around now so............Melbourne here we come!!!!

PS: I know that it is just Melbourne and some of you may think I am making a big deal over it but any chance to have a weekend away with my husband at the moment is very rare indeed!

Hockey is back!!!!

Sat, 06 May 2006 08:42:48 GMT

We just got back from the first game of the hockey season and I am very pumped up about it and also quite a bit exhausted (hockey is a hard game!) So neither of our teams won but my team had a draw so I'm very happy. My other reason for being happy is that at the start of every season I'm not always that excited about playing cause the first game I generally suck at until I warm up into the season but today was different. I got put into the position that I played a little in towards the end of last year (Right Half) and was a bit worried as I told the coach "But I'll have to hit in that position!" For your information, I am an average hockey player and have had a notoriously bad time in the hitting department. I can stop a ball, I can tackle, I can push and slap but hitting the ball.............. I truly suck at it!

So my coach said "it's all in your head, just don't think about it" I have been given this advise before but it never worked. So out I went and every time we got a free and I had to hit the ball I said to myself "just don't think about it, just don't think about, just don't think about it" Guess what.......it seemed to work cause I could hit the ball!!!!!!! How ecstatic was I. Plus my tackling was good and I was even dodging around players with my skills and not even thinking what I was doing. I am so so pleased cause it is now all coming together. doggypanter is also happy, he rubbed his hands together and said with an evil grin on his face "Excellent....it is all working out perfectly. We shall produce super hockey playing children." I love my husband but he can be such a dork at times :)

Alright. I'll do it.

Wed, 19 Apr 2006 12:33:01 GMT

If you comment...

1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you (or make up the first random question that pops to mind).

I really wasn't going to do this but I have to agree with a_mcf that if I make you do it for me then I have to do it for you dam it!

Bye Bye Charlie

Fri, 14 Apr 2006 02:47:03 GMT

I'm a bit sad today.

My mum had to have her horse Charlie put to sleep last night. He has been sick for a while now and was 28 years old. He was a great champion in his day and mum loved him. We knew that this was coming and most people probably would have had him put to sleep long ago but mum would nurse him through all his ailments back to health. She always vowed that she would not let him suffer though and sadly that time came last night. The thing that makes me so sad though I think is that she has had Charlie since I was 4 years old. I grew up with him and there are photos of a very tiny me patting a very big horse. Our life was horses. Every weekend we would go to shows and events and as I grew and changed from small ponies to big horses of my own, Charlie was there. There is not one of our horses that was not in a photo with Charlie at some point.

The other sad thing is that he was the last of our horses left and I know that is going to be very strange for mum not having a horse to look after. I only just realised that it was last Easter that I lost my horse Beau to colic and almost 12 months before that I lost my other horse Trixie to the same thing. This time of year is not very good to us!

It is just feels that a chapter of my childhood has been closed. Funny that.

The new Cat Drug!

Wed, 05 Apr 2006 12:49:15 GMT

My cat Bert (or Bertie Beetle as I call him) had an accident a week and a half ago. Who knows how he did it but he came home on Friday night holding his back leg up. On closer examination I discovered to puncture wounds on his leg. I told him off for fighting with the neighbours cat or for possibly fighting with his brothers Ernie & Thingy. I put him to bed thinking "great! now I have to go into work tomorrow on my day off!"

The next day we go into work and Linda the vet agrees with me in saying it looks like a cat bite but it is strange that he wasn't putting any weight on it. She suggested we x-ray it. WELL...........it turns out that he had actually dislocated his hip and broken the hip socket! So I spent the day at work on a Saturday while we performed surgery on him. I have no idea why I ask other staff to work for me so I can have a day off???? Anyhow, he's been locked inside since then and he is getting better but is so demanding. Not that this is anything new. My brother said that he has ADHD. He just can't sit still on your lap. He will stay still for 10 seconds and then move, head butting you for attention and grabbing at you with his claws. Heaven forbid that you should stop patting him or you will get a claw to your neck and a rather insistent MEOW!

So I think I have just found him dragontail 's equivalent to sugar! We have just got a new product in at work called Feline Greenies. They are little cat dental treats to clean their teeth and give them fresh breath. Omigod!! Bert and his brothers but particularly Bert goes absolutely loopy over them. His eyes are as wide as they can go and he just grabs them from your hand. No waiting to sniff it first and he chases you around looking for more. He's like a junkie on a high. It's fantastic never before has a treat been so popular.

Ah, my life would be so boring without the cats =)

My bum hurts

Thu, 23 Mar 2006 11:47:41 GMT

Just got back from hockey practice. My god am I unfit. I'm 3 weeks behind because of my car accident so everyone else is running laps and I'm lagging behind and I pulled a muscle in my bum and it is rather uncomfortable! Must try to resolve to go for a run everyday to improve fitness. Plus I'm quite tired after working an 11 hour day today (PS. I don't get a lunch break I eat on the run) and still a little tired of all the crap that has gone on at work this week. However after informing our other two clinics that we shall be locking the till with only a senior staff member having the key, do you want to know the response I got? Everyone said that "it makes sense". You should have seen the look on the previous mentioned staff members who caused all the rigmarole about it. He He, they knew they looked stupid!

Hi Everybody

Sun, 19 Mar 2006 03:50:27 GMT

Well consdering everyone is welcoming me on to this fancy new to me blog thing I thought that I had better darn well post something. I have in the past been very bad at using the internet and keeping up with my own e-mails cause I just haven't had the time but since we got broadband (It is sooooooooo good!!!) I have been using the technology much more. For those that don't know me or have only heard snippets of info, I am a Veterinary nurse and have been for the past 7 years and I am now the boss. Hence the name matron_jojo as this is my nickname at work or sometimes Quenn Kahuna! Anyhow I'm gonna be using this blog to vent my feelings about work instead of or really probably in addition to venting them at my doggypanter. The posts may be boring, amusing or just plain bitchy depending on my mood. Just check out the blue kitty before reading to be sure! My user pic is of my dog Simba. Isn't she cute!! Very intelligent too so I just have to show her off to everyone.

So I'm quite excited today as I got my little car back after my car accident 3 weeks ago. The only thing is I have been going over it with a fine tooth comb and picking out one or two slight imperfections that I may need to query with the repairer. So good to drive a mannual and have a CD player again after driving doggypanter 's car. Not that I hate his car or anything but I don't like automatics and I like to be able to put in a CD when there is crap on the radio!

We had loads of fun at sj_me2u & sf_dtail_49 house last night. Man, your lounge room looks awsome and SJ's lasagne was soooo yummy! (Okay I'll stop saying we're B List friends SF!) I had lots of fun playing with LJ too. I was lucky enough to get lots of hugs and playtime watching the Wiggles and reading Dora. Plus she can say my name easily! Unfortunately (but amusingly) she is still not so sure of doggypanter!. She kept on wanting to go over but when she got close it was all too scary!! I told her I understand, it is scary at first (he he..you know I love you baby) but when you get to know him he's really kind, generous and loving. Still she didn't beleive me. I think we may need to see her more often for her to get used to him.

Anyhow off to do some gardening now, talk later :)
