Well talk about being called out!

Alright...I do love my older sister Deedle. She's a gem and she has absolutely no problem calling them like she see's them. How does she see them? Oh you know...grass is green, sky is blue, Emma is perfect and Shauna...where the f$#%k are you?

Good question Dee...I'm glad you asked.

Shauna is currently sitting in her apartment in Oak Bay. Her building is big and filled with older people. They're cute and a little bizarre, but I imagine if I lived through 80 years on this planet I would see things a bit squewy. Yes that's a word. I made it up.

I'm sorry I haven't been around. I could make excuses...work is stressful and busy (which it is), my social life is booming (well that's always been true) or that I'm hunkered down with one fine looking young man and I'm too tired to make it to the computer (now if that was true, well I would make sure I found the time to write). I have been neglectful...my heartfelt apologizes.

Seriously though...lets get to it shall we?

So after one month plus of living on my own I have decided I like it. I love my pink shower curtain, I love washing the dishes when I feel like it and I love sleeping in on weekends. I'm still getting used to the noises my building makes, to not having people around constantly and needing loonies on hand to do laundry. I most certainly miss my old roomies, but I've extended them an open invitation so they can drop by whenever they want (hint! hint!)

I'm sorry I don't have pictures for you. I'll take some tomorrow when there is light in my place. I don't have a digital camera so the crap one on my cell phone will have to do. Should give you the general idea. The place is pretty big, almost too big for one person sometime. Good thing I have friends that like to come over.

To be honest the most pressing thing in my life is work, its been really busy and hectic. And by hectic I mean stressing me out to the point of no sleep. I still love my job, the people and the pay but it felt like I was getting to a point of no return.

That was until today.

I had a day where everything went right, things got done, files got organized and I got back into my swing of things. I even had some people I deal with over the phone all the time in another department head over just to meet me, so that was great. But then as I was watching the minutes count down till the end of the day when I hear that someone else was at the office to see me. I spin around in my chair and there is Emma running towards me. I can tell you right now, no matter how great a day I was having before it was now over the top.

Dee- Your kid was a hit in my office. They thought she was too cute and a co-worker even gave Emma her little stuffed Bashful (he's a dwarf) doll. I was glad everyone got to put a face to the name since I talk about her none stop. Know she's welcome back anytime.

Beyond that not too much to tell. I really need to figure out a way to afford a digital camera in the next couple weeks. I know they're not that expensive but I need to get my laptop fixed (stupid motherboard) and I also need to get some contacts (thank God for a medical plan).

In due time right?

Well thanks all for your patience...all of you. Know I've read about your life adventures, whether they be pregnancies, music festivals, or road trips. So congrats Glenda...I can't wait to be an aunt again...or a semi-aunt. Anne Marie...come visit again...too far away. And Christine please tell Joel how lucky Canada is to have him on my behalf. We can always use more great people in this fine land of ours :)

Oh and Deedee...well I found out about this post from our Nana...so I'm mad at you. You'll just have to wait for it to pass.

....wait for it....

...almost...

Okay I'm over it now. You're lucky I'm so forgiving.
