An entry in 2 parts

Part I: The Intruder

So we are casually sitting watching TV on Sunday afternoon when mr. ralph notices something rather odd in our office and calls out to me.

"Hey, Bec, you have got to come and see this!"

Me: "What is it?"

Mr. Ralph: "Just come here, QUICK! You need to see what Buckley found."

Creeping up


Me: "Oh please don't tell me it is a spider...."

And low and behold what did I see? An intruder. Sitting in our office just as easy as you please was a siamese cat that lives a few houses down.

We were shocked and so was Buckley. Sometime during the day he came in through our back door which we had left ajar for Buckley. We have no idea how long he was there. I picked him up and although he let me put him outside, he was not happy with it. Siamese cats really don't like people they don't know touching them.

The Intruder


Bucks on the other hand was pretty calm. All he did was thoroughly inspect the room for about 15 minutes afterwards making sure he was gone.

I still can't believe the cat was probably in our house for most of the afternoon, even while the 3 of us had a nap and Buckley didn't even notice he was there. All I can guess is he followed Buckley home and wandered in and fell asleep. Sort of like Goldilocks.

Part II: The Beautiful Place called Waterfall Gully

The following pictures were taking on our hike this Sunday. As you can see, the views are well worth the sweat.

I love the hair -- very flattering. I know my dogs would totally let me know if another 4-legged creature entered our abode....

Oh now I am sooooo green! What a gorgeous place to go hiking!!! This is what I really dislike about living in Athens in winter. To get to such a gorgeous place to hike would take us at least a 2 hr drive and driving for 4 hrs on a day trip just ain't my cup of tea! Thankfully when summer comes I at least get to enjoy gorgeous beaches :)
I like the hair too. Your smile is unbeatable you know. And I think that the hair will light up a bit after a few washes...bleach tends to reappear some.

Your Buckley is one cool character isn't he? My furry kid would FREAK if there was another cat in her house ;)

Gorgeous waterfall. Reminds me of all the hiking and bushwalking I did with my family when I was growing up. I definitely don't do enough of that these days.

And your hair turned out fabulous, but then it always looks great! (mind you, I didn't see it 'pineapple yellow', heh)

I do really like the darker hair - it brings out your eyes and is very pretty with your coloring. I like what Shannon said about throwing some highlights on top and around your face, if you like.

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.

Do you want what you can't have?

On the way home from work I saw a girl with the figure I want, but will never have. She was young; I think probably around 16 or 17. She was tall with lean legs and she was wearing a pair of trendy short shorts with a t-shirt. She also had amazingly perfect large breasts. I admittedly stared for a moment at her because she didn't have one single blemish. She is so beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how I will never be that thin, I will probably never wear short shorts, and I definitely will never have those boobs. I wish I didn't look longingly at the things other people have and envy them, but I do. But I don't think I am the only one.

Tweaking

So I've done some tweaking to the code. I now think it looks better in Firefox than IE because IE is not recognising the best font. It is too late right now for me to concern myself with this. At least most of us can actually read it. Also I have to create a new weight chart that is compatible with this design. Thanks a lot for the input. Firefox users, is it better now?
