Doggysnaps.com

I've recently discovered Doggysnaps.com and find myself visiting it all too often during the day. Now that my studio is fully functional, sans lovely chaise lounge, carpet and cheapo filing cabinet, which I covet, I am fairly busy during the day, but somehow I still find time to check up on my two dogs progress quite regularly. I posted 11 pics of Max and since the 30th April he's had 345 people look at them. Schumi's less popular with 116 views of her 7 pics. The thing I like about it is it's just the right amount of functionality and interest for a 5 minutes gander. I never spend more than that, but it helps to take my mind off pressing, irritating matters and also the manotony of working from home in an office on my own all day.

Anyhoo, as nobody ever reads my blog I may as well post any darn thing I please on it. No danger of beating Kyknoord at his game! I read this weekend in the Sunday Times some derogatory comment in a fairly humorous article about your common government employee. The article went on to mention that said person obviously shops at Jet. I shop at Jet and I'm not afraid to say it! Having not bought a new item of clothing for the last two years I find myself taking baby steps into the world of retail therapy. It takes me quite a bit of effort and crap to put up with to earn my dollars so I'm not going to spend huge quantities of it on a pair of jeans just because it has a label on it. I've read that graphic designers are supposed to be label fanatics, but I'm not one of them. I like functionality and practicality. If you throw in comfort I'm sold. And I'd rather spend my money on gadgety stuff that makes my life easier and possibly overseas holidays if I finally get there.

My mom is flying to Dublin in the next two weeks to see her first grandchild. Hoorah! I'm finally off the hook - having been married for almost 6 years now - you would have thought they'd get the hint by now and stop asking. We're quite happy with dogs, thank you!

Well, just been served my giant plate of macaroni cheese for dinner so must be off. Still haven't started the all-important diet yet. According to some website all I need to lose is 6kg. I'm wondering if it's worth the effort. I would like to feel more comfortable in my skin and clothes, but I don't plan on being a bikini model any time soon. I suppose I should do it for health reasons, but then that means giving up smoking too and eating a Special K breakfast - if the ads are to be believed. Would be easier if I lived next door to a Fruit & Veg.

Ok, really must go now - like anyone cares. Will write again in the next millennium.
