Who let the Dog's out?

It's been a long, hard battle for the Mad Dogs. We started out as a bunch of women who collectively had about 4 years of netball experience between them. We enjoyed being absolutely trounced each and every week by ladies who could stride the entire length of the court in only three paces. We laughed at our inability to catch, or remain upright or not step. It was amusing that we were so bad. But oh, how things have changed! While it is true only a couple of original Mad Dogs remain we have built on a culture of hard work and determination. We made some good trades and picked up some classy ladies and finally, finally, we've come through with the goods. That's right people, the Mad Dogs took out the league (well Div 2 anyway, but come on, cheers please!) What else is there to say except, well done ladies you deserved it! WHO LET THE DOGS OUT? WOOF WOOF WOOF!

Facebook is stifling my creativity....

I once was addicted to my blog. I was addicted to my friend's blogs too. I would check them daily, sometimes twice daily. I formed friendships with people I didn't know but who wrote interesting tales about their interesting lives. I was moved by the birth of a child to a mother I didn't know, just read about. I was intrigued by the insight of a expat who moved to Phuket to further his writing. I was humoured by the stories of a family in Chiang Mai who'd always be getting up to something interesting. I loved to check in on my friends blogs, read about my mate's latest housing project or work of art. Laugh at the crazy situations my netball buddy was getting herself into here in Bangkok. And then, “You've been sent an invitation to Facebook”. Oh boy, how my life has changed, oh boy how pathetic is that?

So, it's December now, a good couple of months since anything exciting has happened and I am making a pact with myself. Cut down on the Facebook hours and write something interesting again. Stop throwing sheep at people and buying pictures of gifts. Stop poking long lost school friends and accepting friend requests of people you may have had a three and half minute conversation with in high school. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not going cold turkey. I just think it's time to balance the scales, give my old blog the time and effort she deserves. Try to get some readers back... will you come back?

I've got loads to get you up to date with... I moved house, went to China, won our Netball League, got silly on far too many occasions to mention here.... so, it's time (again) to get back to the blogging and move slowly away from the time consuming and socially boring life of a facebook addict.... (did I mention that I created a profile for my cat!? Shit, I didn't even mention that I have a cat... so much to write...) x
