Twos-day 10

How do you pronounce Tuesday? Twos-day or Chews-day?  For me, it’s the latter — getting onto things I’m going to go ahead and copy Jill’s ‘Ten on Tuesday’ questionnaire, because I downright feel like it.Maybe this will become a weekly thing, who knows. But for today, I liked the questions so I decided to go ahead and answer them.

1. Are you usually late, early, or right on time?

I’m an early arriver (I know that’s not a word. Oops). However, if I’m leaving the house the same time as the boyfriend I’m guaranteed to be at least 2 minutes late, and that stresses me out!!

2. What is your middle name?

Well… I’ll tell you this much. It begins with an S.

3. What are the last 4 digits of your cell phone number?

9178

4. How big is your bed?

It’s a double/full. We’re skinny people, but I think having a Queen or even King sized would be better! When we go to hotels, we certainly sleep a lot better when the beds are huge

5. What are you allergic to?

Nothing

6. What is the first thing you do in the morning?

Since getting Alfie, I get him out of his crate immediately so he can “potty”, then I’ll go…

7. What was your favorite TV show growing up?

The Wonder Years, Today’s Special, Sesame Street, The Cosby Show.

8. Will you, or did you, go to your 10 year high school reunion?

I was in Ontario and our class reunion was going to plan something but it fell through. I don’t think I’d attend, mainly because everyone I care to remember is already on my Facebook.

9. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it still make a sound?

I spose b’y.

10. What, in your opinion, is the greatest invention? (You know, since sliced bread…)

Computers lol.

Only a few hours left of my contest you guys!

Things I noticed while home

  • People stare a lot here. Since living in Ontario, I just find that nobody really looks people in the eye when they’re running around doing errands. But in Newfoundland — they stared at you like they were trying to figure out if they knew who you were. It weirded me out for the first few days I was out and about.
  • WHY do people wear pyjamas outside of their homes! It was super annoying and disgusting to look at. Especially the women who were in their forties wearing rotted ol’ pajama shorts in the grocery store…AND AT THE MALLS. Get dressed you lazy fools.
  • I hate the wind. That’s one of the reasons why it’d be hard for me to move back here. I have to brush my hair all the time here!
  • That being said. I miss my social life back in Newfoundland. As soon as I stepped off the plane I knew someone who was working with Westjet, and had a chat. Waiting for my luggage… had a chat with my high school buddies father. I love knowing people, but at the same time — it gets old and I sometimes want to go to the grocery store, looking nasty and grungy (although, no wearing my pj’s) without bumping into someone.
  • People in St. John’s are obsessed with Bench clothing. I loved it a few years ago when I went to Ireland and found some “new clothing”, til I came home and saw that every damn store carries the exact same jackets.
  • I also noticed we’ve gotten a few new stores in the mall (Urban Planet, Aeropostale, and RW&Co.). Aero is a youth / teen store. I saw a lot of adults wear those clothes while home. Which is cool — it’s just funny how different the provinces are from each other).
  • I actually bought a sweater dress. From Ardene! Who knew they sold clothes!!<
  • We didn’t have a white Christmas, but that was fine with me — I was so happy to be home
  • I brought back my external hard drive that my mom got me for my Bday back in May and filled it up with more movies that my Mom downloaded lol. AWESOME.
  • Found out that Caramex lip balms are actually sold in Canada.  I e-mailed them once, asking if they sold products here and they didn’t. Liars. Lawtons Drugs sells them!
  • Orange tanned skin seems to be the “in” thing here.

Okay some of these points aren’t things I noticed but just random stuff from being home.

For those who are asking — Alfie’s doing great. His mental capacity is insane with holding information at such a young age. We’re bringing him to the vet tomorrow after work so he can get the rest of his shots and it’ll be safe for him to go outside and play. Shortly after that we’re going to bring him to obedience classes, which I know he’ll catch on very quickly to, because he loves being praised when he excels. Then once he passes that, get him involved with Agility. You know… like obstacle courses for dogs where they run around and have fun? Those crazy things. Exciting huh!!? :)

Meet Alfie

We got a puppy over the weekend!!

He’s 100% Pomeranian. Someone bought him as a Christmas present for their daughter, who turned out to be allergic to the dog. We went for a two hour drive (one way!) almost to London to pick him up. He’s got the sweetest little face but this morning is when he got a bit rambunctious and starting biting more, and harder — we put an end to that pretty quickly. If you don’t play nice, you’re not getting played with for a few minutes! haha.

alfie3Saturday: Being a good little guy on his bed. I’m glad I gave him this red blanket — he seems to really love cuddling up to it.

alfie1Sunday night: Him sleeping in awkward positions.

alfie2Sunday night: Takin’er easy

You can’t really tell how small he is in the photos  because he’s a little squirt of a thing weighing (estimating) 2-3lbs, so I posted a video of him somewhat listening to my commands. He’s a pretty quick learner at 10 weeks of age, he learned how to “sit”, “come”, “no” (which we use a lot), “potty” (we’re paper training him), and “good boy” — where he gets super hyper if you tell him that. I want to teach him to “stay” next, and maybe play dead or roll over. He catches onto things so quickly and he loves praise, so I’m trying to teach him all this stuff as soon as possible.

It’s so weird having a miniature dog. I’m so used to having big dogs, the size of labs – and they eat so much. So when we went to Petcetera to get him some food the woman told me to feed him 1/4cup of food a day. No, not a 1/4cup of food each time he eats. We have to divide that up three times! Wowzahs.

That pretty much sums up my weekend. The days seem SO long now that we wake up in the middle of the night to take him to potty, give him a treat, then the other person wakes up at 6:30/7:00 to spend the morning with him til we’re ready to go to work. Exhausting little guy!

Don’t forget to enter the Cover Your Hair contest, it closes tomorrow night.
