Hmm... I made it back to post another blog

Yaaaay ME!!!!!! I managed to make it back to do some more blogging..... This week has gone by so fast with so much going on. I really don't feel like I got much accomplished however, when I sit and look back, I actually did... woo hoo.....

I don't get many days to sleep in and yesterday was supposed to be one of them however, my sister Jen was taking her real estate appraisers exam and she needed to share her adventures or would it be misadventures... anyway.....

The wolf was up and out the door by 5:30, his usually time, and I had the whole bed to myself... well not really, Riley and Oscar seem to think our bed is their bed... anyway... one less body in the bed... and one less snore to listen too.... woo hoo....
There I am, peacefully in a deep coma like state on my sliver of bed ... all of a sudden the phone rings.... jolts me out of my wonderful slumber.
All I hear is "Hey its me".... ok... I only have one eye open, my ears are not even awake now who in the world is me?....my other eye opens and all I can manage is huh?..... then I hear.... I need a huge favour.... it is an emergency... ok... I am up!!!!!!!!!!!
My lovely sister in her panic forgot her confirmation number to write the test at home in Florida...... ok... and I live in Ontario... yay me!... and just what am I suppose to do?... By the time I jump a plane and get there the exam would be over.....
I think she thought I was crazy.... or I was thinking she was... anyway.... apparently, her confirmation was somewhere in her email ... so down the stairs I go..... no caffeine... 2 dogs wondering why their bowls are still empty, Riley being a Sheltie trying to herd me to his bowl and getting under foot.....right to the bottom of the stairs....
Computer on... Jen's phone gets a low battery beep... great!... cell phone battery dying. I go through her email... she couldn't remember who sent, when it was sent, just confirmation.... I have no idea how many things she belongs to, but it took a good 20 minutes to find the right one. I call her back, voice mail...great! .. leave message... call me, found your stuff . I feed dogs, make coffee, come back down stairs, this time a little more gracefully. Still didn't hear back from her, call her again..... leave all info on voice mail... and have not heard a thing since.
So anyway, Jen ... when you read this blog, I hope it all went well and that all your misadventures didn't carry out for the rest of the day!
Love ya, I am sure you are in the 20%

I really don't know what I am doing

Ok.. so this is all new to me.

I really don't know what I am doing.

However, here goes.

Blogging, who would of thought I would be a blogger. Is that what one would call a person who blogs?


However with the insistance of my sister, I will make time to try to be a good blogger. Heh, I kind of like that word. I wonder if I can add that to my curriculum vitae? Blogger, looking for blog work. Wonder if it will get me a better job? More questions. I am always full of questions. And not very good with answers. I am rather wishy-washy at times.

I guess I should really start with some history because, I really don't know what to write:
  • My name is Catherine.... nick name Cat... therefore "Cats Meow" is the name of my blog
  • My spouse is Chuck... nick name Wolf... therefore URL name "The cat and the wolf"
  • I have two beautiful daughters, Aimee 22 and Leigh 19, that have given me many gray hairs over the years... nick name Brat 1 and 2
  • I am a Crazy Cannuck who has spent her whole life in a cold, dank, dreary ice arena. To this day, I am still skating (well coaching figure skating and power skating). 30 years of coaching... good god, I have to be crazy. This is my full time job and takes up 7 days of every week. One does get tired, although, I did get two vacays last year!!!!!... woohoo.... I went to my sisters in Florida for 10 days last Christmas and I met up with the wolf in Tenerife in May.... but that is for another day.
My beautiful daughter Aimee turned 22 yesterday. We took her out for dinner, the waitress had to come back 3 times to see if I was ready to order (hence my wishy-washyness). Aim and Wolf were starting to get irritated with me. So, I ended up with something simple, chicken fajta's that I had to assemble myself!!!!!.... yes... thats right, I go out to dinner to make it at the table. The only thing I didn't have to do was cook the chicken and vegies and do the dishes. Heh, DISHES... dirty word in our house... but that is another day as well.

Needless to say, 4 take away boxes of left overs. The wolf and I need to remember to split an entre as we don't eat whole adult portions of anything. At least lunch was easy to prepare today.

When I started writing this blog a few minutes ago, I really didn't know what I was going to write about, however, I guess I do have things to say afterall.

It seems like it has come to that point in my day that I need to get ready to go to that dark and dreary arena and teach some children how to stand up on ice. sigh... this is fun... I think I am going to like blogging...
Ciao for now!!!
