Crazy Cat Lady, Who Me?

So, Liz is having this competition to win a ticket to the sold out Problogger’s training event in Melbourne next month.

I had really wanted to go, but didn’t have the money at the time and couldn’t quite justify another trip to Melbourne. But I now have a SUPER exciting new project I am working on…it would be the perfect opportunity to share it with you all.

I never enter competitions, they always ask stupid questions. 25 words or less..be creative. I have run competitions where I get 100′s of entries of songs, poems and limericks. Pfft, I have no chance!

But when I saw Liz’s question I thought… cats..hmm, maybe I can do that. Then I got to thinking about some of the pictures I had, and giggling to myself just a little too much. I thought why not. At least I’ll have a post for Caturday.

So here is my entry, which is basically a collection of my most embarrassing cat pictures.

The competition question is…

“Tell me how you would smuggle a cat and/or dinosaur into the ProBlogger Training Day.”

Ok, so plan A is…. Disguise cats as babies, and smuggle them in a pram.

I have a cat pram, yes..I really do.  We can smuggle at least 3 cats in. Room for Train, if we leave Alex at home. And quite possibility a few smaller dinosaurs, maybe some stegosaurus?

Dress them like babies. I’m pretty sure the ears would give them away, hide the ears…and it is like looking at a real baby!

Or, stick one in next to a real baby. People are for ever bullshiting “Oh wow, don’ they look a like” Again, hide the ears, no one will know!

Meezer’s meows often sounds very much like a small baby crying.

Allow Calais to demonstrate…

Now, if that doesn’t work. Never fear..I have a plan B!

Drag queen bloggers!

So there you have it. The place will be over run with cats!

Happy Sundog

It was  a super beautiful day in Sydney today…helping ever so slightly to lift a gloomy mood after a shit of a week.

A few nights ago, we had a blackout. Recorded message said it could be 4-5hrs before power was restored. Tried the family bonding conversation, but after 5mins they were doing my head in and my phone was going flat so we decided to go to bed early.

The puppies where put to bed a couple of hours earlier that usual. Any other night, they would be lazing about in bed anyway. But seems this night they decided they didn’t want an early night and went in search of some entertainment.

Fast forward to the morning, and this is what I found.. among other messes. Guilty faces all round.

Someone went to bed and left the pantry open. Lets just blame a child, because nothing is ever my fault.

Bloggest Loser Challenge….AGAIN!

Spring is here, and most of us are looking to shed the…ahh…insulating layers we put on over winter ;)  So it is Bloggest Loser Challenge time again.

You should join us!! Now, I’m not saying you need to lose weight..you look awesome just the way you are. But it will be fun.

Quick run down. Challenge runs for 12 weeks. We have a Daily Burn Challenge where all the number business happens, as well as a private facebook group for motivation and support. Weighins on Sunday (you don’t have to tell people how much you weigh if you don’t want to…just weight lost every week) We should have a prize this time guys?!

You don’t have to be a blogger to join…it’s just a fancy name :P

That’s it! If you want to join, leave a comment or tweet me…or something. And I will send you the invites. GO ON….DO IT!!!!

………………..

I have lost count how many times we have done these. I think we did the first one 3yrs ago, which I won. But has been a bit of a piss poor effort in the challenges since then. They clearly aren’t working for me. In fact DailyBurn says I am the biggest I have ever been since we started all this..awesome!

MsFifikins I must say has done a great job, actually losing weight when we aren’t on a challenge and not putting it back on like..me. Have seen your daily pics on flickr..you are looking fabulous woman!

So, this week in preparation for the challenge, I have canceled my gym membership. Well, it was before I knew we were doing it. It’s a complete waste on money since they cancelled all the good spin classes :(

Besides, we pretty much have full gym at home anyway.

Treadmill, Smiths machine and other weights stuff, spin bike (tho I now know why it was so cheap. A little dangerous for your shins on the hills) Not to mention access to a whole range of weight loss supplements from work. And 2 crazy bulldogs that need walking.

Even bought myself a fancy new heart rate monitor for extra motivation.

So, really..I should have no excuse, right?. Everything is right there. Just get into it. I KNOW what needs to be done. JUST.DO.IT!

It seems the more times I try and fail at this thing, the harder it gets. I think the motivation has run dry.

Sometimes I wonder if it would just be easier to give up and resign myself to the fact that I am fat and there is nothing I can do about it. But then you have the days when you don’t want to leave the house. You don’t want to go out for because you know you will be the biggest there, and you think everyone will be judging the fat chick.

It gets you down, really down. Every.single.day.

But why can’t I just fix it? If I hate it so much.

I’m a sucker for the before and after pic, I love them. Surely if these people can, I can. What is their secret. They tell you about their diet and exercise, but why do they never share that secret thing that starts it all. That  one thing that drives you through to get the job done. I haven’t found it yet…I don’t even know if I have it. Am I just too lazy?

So, we’ll try…again. Try a little harder than the last few times and see how we go..I guess. I sound convincing, right?

You going to join? We start tomorrow…but you can jump in at anytime.
