This is how I feel right now!

Well.. We were SUPPOSED to be moving house this week! The dumb bank is taking their time and now it looks like settlement will be one week overdue. By sheer miracle, it may be done tomorrow and we can do the big move on the weekend as planned, but now its looking like early-mid next week. Very irritating because I have taken the weekend off work! But doesnt matter, that time can be spent on more packing. I am also very irritated because I start Uni next week and I was really hoping for a smooth transition, now it'll be more like a rush and Marc may even need to move on his own without my help because I really cant miss the first week of uni now!

Im pulling my hair out getting stressed over this! I just want to move in already LOL... Its so annoying (for the hundredth time!)... Ok vent over! :)

My Girl.. My love..

No.. not that kind of girl love ;) I'm talking about my Cavalier, Lucy. She is my beautiful 9 month old Blenheim Cavalier who I adore dearly.

You know, before Lucy, I had never owned a dog before, let alone had a dog as a family pet. I kinda think about my reasons for getting a dog in the first place. I wanted a companion, I wanted something to pass the time with, have fun with, play with and someone to love and care for. Ok, yes I have a boyfriend and many people would think "why do you need a dog to do that with when your with someone already". But its different and maybe I cant explain it properly, but trust me, its a different love. An unconditional love.

I knew I wanted a small dog, a cute dog, a dog that thrived on human attention, a lap dog... and after much research, I decided a Cavalier was for me. Its weird. She fulfills me in ways that I havent been fulfilled before, maybe its because im caring for her like a child? Whatever it is, I dont regret my choice and for this reason, I am going to get another hehe.

I dont think ill ever be without a dog again in my life. They are not just a pet, they are more than thatl. I get people paying me out because I rave on about Lucy, visiting forums and uploading tons of pics. I dont care, because to me, that is an interest. Just like fishing is for some people. So whats the big deal?

Anyway... Just wanted to say how I feel about my little girl! :)

Take me away!!

Happy Birthday to me! Well.. It was two days ago now!! I have been away over the weekend at Wallaroo for my birthday. Marc and I had a lovely time. We explored so many little towns including Moonta, Moonta Bay (which is gorgeous mind you!), Port Hughes, Ardrossan, Port Vincent, Stansbury etc.

Time went to quickly!! (they always do on vacation!) but it was time well spent :)

So now im 25! I always wanted to be married at 25 but dont think that is happening just yet! haha... Funny how when we are younger, 25 seems old.

I also want to share that a beautiful tri coloured female cavalier was born on my birthday!! (Valentines Day). Still a while yet before I have her but it was truely meant to be! Will keep you all updated on that little story in posts to come :)

On the way back to Adelaide yesterday, I suffered three very painful headaches! Had 3 lots of paracetamol, 4 hours apart and then some nurofen plus as the paracetamol wasnt helping all that much! Needless to say, ive been pumping the pain killers into my body!! I felt so blah last night and feeling under the weather today too. I'll be back to my old self tomorrow!

Positive Thinking

After my eventful day yesterday I decided to let it all go and start again afresh. I am a positive person and I have been through a lot and im not going to let anything get me down! I have come so far and im not about to go throw it all away. Thank you Jules for your kind words this morning. Sometimes I need a real big kick up the butt! :)

So.. Im wiping the slate clean and im going to look after myself and challenge myself further and prove to this lady that I am BETTER than she thinks! Haiii Yaaa!

Miserable People

Is it that some people are just so miserable in life that they need to bring every one down with them? Well, I experienced that today. Wont go into too much detail about it but it just made me think. Why are some people so rude!!! Is there a need to be rude? Are they just miserable with themselves!?

*rant over*

Lucy ♥

Lucy is my beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She is 8 months old and is one of the most beautifully tempered dogs ever created! :)

Marc & Me ♥

Marc is my partner. We have been together for almost 3 years but have known each other for just over 4.

Introductions

After a couple days of trying to work out how on earth to change my background, I finally did it! Starting a blog is not easy I tell you! :)

Well I guess I should start by introducing who I am?

I'm Carla, 24 years old, soon to be 25 in two weeks and I live in Adelaide, Australia. I live with my boyfriend, Marc and we have a 8 month Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Lucy.

In 2008 I finished my three year degree in Nursing and am now Registered. I started Uni a bit later than others but I don't regret that because I had time to work out what kind of field I wanted to get into. I will be going back to uni this year though, for another 12 months as I recently found out I got accepted to study Paramedics. I am really excited. I have wanted to get into this course since 2007 and so I applied in my final year of nursing and I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to be a part of this course. I start officially on the 2nd of March.

I enjoy all sorts of things, such as dogs, the beach, movies, music, laughing, being around friends and real life medical shows :P

This blog is intended for those who want to be involved in the events in my life, and also for my own intentions to reflect on events and experiences that happen. I know the year ahead is going to be hard. I have 12 months of uni which is going to challenge me, and also a new house which we move into in early March.

2009 has started of with a BOOM! I just hope that the rest of year will follow suit.

I will endeavor to add some photos to jazz up this blog a little more.

I will get to that soon :)
