As I sit typing this Camp lies at my feet, waiting for me to get up so she can try to play a prank on me, which seems to have become her one goal in life.

Normally she lays in the sun, legs in the air and exposing her naked belly for all the neighbours to see while soaking up the suns rays so she will have a killer tan to show off the next time she goes for a walk at the beach. Not a care in the world. We joke that she is a dog of leisure at heart, due to the fact she was found on the Whitsunday islands as a pup, lost and wondering around a Camp site, she probably belonged to a rich couple holidaying on their yacht.

But lately the sun bathing beauty must have become bored with the resort lifestyle and has started following me around all day long, strategically placing her chew toys in my path while I’m not looking in the hopes of making me trip and thus having a fantastic story to bark to the dogs about later in the day. As I turn my back on her I say “no one thought it was cute when Ashton Kutcher did it, and no one thinks it’s cute now dog”.

I’ve warned her that the treats will cease if I am decapitated after tripping over her tire shaped bull, in return she gives my a cute look and wags her tail as if to say “there are other humans who know where the treat jar resides.”

I’ve been low in B-12 this past week (I have B-12 injections every month or two because I have Pernicious Anaemia), so today I got jabbed with a syringe full of the red liquid that they like to call Hydroxocobalamin but I always refer to as the injectable version of the red pill, by the confused looks on the doctors and nurses faces I take it they are not Matrix fans. I also got jabbed with the annual Influenza vaccine (I had Influenza a few years back and I’ve been given the vaccine ever since.)

After being jabbed I was sitting outside of the shopping centre while my mother was inside buying food for dinner, as I sat there I started to feel dizzy (due to the heat and low B-12) and I noticed people were giving me concerned looks as they passed me, I put my head between my knee’s to stop the world from spinning. After a minute or two a middle aged lady stopped and asked me if I was ok, I managed a smile and say “I’m fine thanks, just the heat getting to me”, she said “ok, just wanted to check, you don’t look too well”, and then she smiled and went on her way.

It’s nice to know people care.

On Sunday the LRMF Perthian crew had a BBQ at Point Walter to catch up and meet some new faces (Tim, Justin, and some random James fellow who didn’t say very much apart from “I’m not a member of the forum”). The afternoon was filled with fun, sun and Tiffy getting high on sugar (as all LRMF BBQ’s are). Here are a few photos and conversations from the event…

While driving to pick up Candy Tiffy enquired “Kitta, are you wearing two bra’s?”, I was confused by her question, “no I’m wearing a bra and a singlet” I said and then asked “Why would I wear two bra’s?”, she seemed just as confused by the question as I was and replied “oh ok, I umm, I don’t know.” Ahh the mind of Tiffy, so complex.

On the way home Tiffy was informing us about the sound effects of sex (information which she of course gained from her teenage friends), specifically what it sounds like when a guy has an orgasm. She told us “my friend said it makes a ‘gizzzz’ sound”, everyone in the car exclaimed “WTF!” and then Candy clarified things, “it’s not a tomato sauce bottle Tiffy” she said “there’s no pressure in there for it to sound like a sauce bottle, it has no sound.” After the laughter from Candy’s tomato sauce bottle theory had died down I confessed “I am so never going to be able to use a tomato sauce bottle again.”

When we stopped for petrol I leaned out the window and said to Matt “yeah pump that petrol, harder, yeah baby”, Tiffy joined in on the fun and said “do it for me Daddy”, he gave us a repulsed look and then left to go pay for the petrol. When he returned we all said at once “Daddy can we have some ice cream, we want ice cream Daddy, pleaseeeeeee!” he replied in a stern fatherly voice “no, now shut the fuck up” followed shortly after by “I am so never having kids.”

Candy asked me to pass her a sausage in a bun, I went to grab one and she said “no, not that one, the big black one”, Anne asked “do you like big black sausages?” and Candy replied “no, Adam (her boyfriend) and I have had a talk about how I don’t go for black wang.”

I got sunburnt on my left should and arm because I had the window open while we were driving. I’ve applied about 10 layers of aloe vera, so hopefully it won’t peel.

When I was a smaller version of myself – say Kitta Beta 6.4, before I was bought by Google and made users log in with their Gmail details – I would spend my days baking cookies, muffins and other yummy treats. Whenever I baked I always had a trusting friend there to help me, his name was Mr Bowl. Mr Bowl was very old, he belonged to my fathers mother and came to Australia on a ship with her. He had a chip on his side and a slight crack on his bottom, but I still loved him.

One day I was getting ready to make some cupcakes when I noticed Mr Bowl wasn’t in his normal resting place, I looked all over the kitchen for him, he was no where to be found. I asked my mother if she had seen him and that was when she told me the news.

She had killed Mr Bowl.

My own mother had killed my baking friend. Ok, so she didn’t really kill him, but she did chuck him in the bin, which I’m sure crushed his little bowl heart.

My mother then introduced me to a new family of bowls, they were plastic, came in various sizes and they had absolutely no character what so ever. I wanted nothing to do with them, I wanted Mr Bowl back. But it was too late, Mr Bowl was gone and I was left with the new emotionless plastic family. I tried to get to know them to even accept them, but the loss of Mr Bowl was too harsh. There was a hole in my heart that no other bowl could replace.

My baking has never been the same since, and I blame it all on my mother.

My mother gave our dog Camp a bath today and left her flea shampoo sitting next to my shampoo, about an hour later I was having a shower and I grabbed what I thought was my PPS shampoo and put it on my hair. I was lathering up thinking “hmm, something smells like Camp”, I kept lathering and then I suddenly realised that I had used the bloody dog’s flea shampoo on my hair.

It took four long washes with my shampoo to get the dog smell out of it. I told Mother about it and she thought it was hilarious, so funny in fact that she feels the story must be re-told to all her co-workers, little does she know I will fill her shampoo with the dogs shampoo and then we will see who is laughing! I will also inflict the same treatment on my boyfriend if he makes one more “your coat is so shiny now” or “sit… stay… good girl” jokes.

Good news is that my hair is now flea free. 🙂
