Yes...finally its me!

So did you have a wonderful Christmas? I had hoped it would snow, even after all the crap we put up with a few weeks back I still want a white Christmas one year.

I got spoiled, which is insane. But I have to say the best part of Christmas was watching little Emma Yam open up her presents. She was so into it this year, even taking the time to help everyone else open up their wrapped gifts. Then she's look at what it was and then let out a long "Ohhhhhhh!" Yeah I love my neice.

Not too much else to report. Work has been going great. It's stressful and busy but I love my job. Love it. I have my own desk now, which makes me feel damn grown up. Got my hair cut and highlighted a few weeks back, you can see a picture of it up on Dee's blog. Yeah I look hot, and I'm not afraid to admit it.

Tomorrow...well it's New Years Eve and its also my birthday. The big 25. CRAZY! 25 was the age in highschool when I had planned to have everything accomplished. I used to say things like "I want to be married and have my first kid at 25." Oh 17-year-old Shauna, so young, so naive. And insane! Here's hoping that being 25 was just as good as being 24.

I plan on spending the night at home tomorrow with Deedee, Chris, Glenda, Nathan, Dan(?) and my bud Rob. It'll be nice to just hang and have a laid back birthday for a change. People thing being born on New Years is usually good times. How wrong they are, but I have a feeling this year will be great. Plus I'm going to the bar next weekend to celebrate with all my friends. If you want to come, well you should.

So here's to a safe and happy New Years! May 2007 truely rock!

My New Years Resolution: Update my blog more for you guys, and thanks for being so patient with me....I promise to be better!

Remember when I told you guys I had to make a Snow Globe for work? Well I did and my buddy Ian helped me. He's Mr. Fix-It and does stained glass as a hobby. And when I say Ian helped me I mean made it so it worked. His step-dad even cut out the base for it. I came out big time in the office...as it was declared the cutest snow globe. It was also labeled "The Man-Globe" once the ladies at work found out a boy helped me. Still I loves it. The figurine inside is a ceramic one I got year back and lots of silver glitter.

Look at all the sparkles!

This is the type of MP3 player I got for Christmas. As the rider of the "loser cruiser" aka BC Transit it's a wonderful way to pass the time. I have wanted one forever so when Santa brought me one I was blown away. 2GB And it's purple...moi's favourite colour. YES! So yeah, if you can think of any songs that are a must let me know, because it holds so much music I don't know what to do with myself.

The pictures of the babies I have up at my desk at work. That way if my day is going shitty I look over and see Emma, Ethan, Riley and Jacob. Best way to perk up the day.

<---That's actually something a co-worker did to my computer while I was away in Squamish a few weeks back. You know you are in with the work crew when they spend time defacing your office equipment.

HAVE A GOOD ONE!

Under the Wire

I'm making this update just under the wire. Sorry I haven't updated sooner but I have some pictures that I am compiling for my post. Should have some free time tomorrow hopefully.

I wish you all the Merriest Christmas! Talk to you soon!

PS. HA HA DEEDEE!!! I DID IT!

Hanging my head in Shame.

Well its been a long time. A very very long time. Sorry about that. I've been pretty busy, that and I'd forgotten all about my blog. Sure I checked everyone else's but never thought of my own. Plus I don't have a digital camera, so I can't have pictures on my blog, which I think are the best part.

As for me I am doing very well. I have a new job that I started last week, as a payroll clerk for VIHA. The job is great, the people are great and the pay is AMAZING! I consider this my first adult job, because I can see this being my career. I got hired as a casual so there was some worry for me when I took the job that I wouldn't get enough work to survive. But since I started I've been working full time and my manager just told me on Wednesday that I'll be guaranteed 4 days a week for the next 2 months. However my co-workers are convinced I'll still be working full time since they are pretty short staffed. Either way...that is great. Hopefully this means I can get out of the debt I have and work on getting a car. I want a car again. Badly.

Still doing my recap at GMMR, which seems to be going well. Sometimes I get a lot of comments (which are gold when you post on a blog, which you all know) and sometimes I don't. However it's getting easier and easier to write one, a put a little spice of myself in it. Plus no one has commented that they want to kill me, which is nice.

Christmas is right around the corner. How the hell did that happen? Seriously. Now my brain is all fuzzy with the presents I have to buy and what not. Plus my office mates and I have to make our own snow globes and take them into work as a Christmas project. I have to make a snow globe? Crafty ladies...I'm going to need your help with that one. I've looked up the "how to" online, now its about making it rock. I think whoever has the best wins a prize or something.

Beyond that everything is the same, but still changing at a rapid pace. I realized today that my 25th birthday is approaching at an alarming rate. Can you believe that? Wasn't I just 18? Here's hoping my 25th year will be just as charming as this one was.

Anyway I should hit the hay as my weekend has been jam packed with things to do and Sunday is another day. I wish Victoria's snow fall tonight had stuck. Would have been a good excuse to get out doing anything tomorrow.

And for your viewing pleasure I'm giving you a link to another cool website I found randomly on my world wide web travels: http://www.picturesofwalls.com/

Also you might note the new blog layout. I finally found one that's actually pretty and doesn't mess up my blog. I owe Deedle for that one, since I got my layout from the same place she got hers. I need to fix up some things, like my links to all your blogs and whatnot. I'm betting I'll have some time for that tomorrow.

Okay enough of me.

Emma at Science World

Sorry I haven't updated in forever. There has been a lot going on and I just can't share some of it in a public forum. However, I love you all and I thought I would share this wonderful video of my fantastic neice Emma at Science World. Her Mommy sent it to me...I hope you don't mind I posted it.

PS. I was wrong. There IS sound!

Jazz.

Whose Fresh Prince pointing at? Yeah that's right.

I know I have shared with you all before the joys of finding strange and unusual websites due to my job. This one pretty much made my day! Nice to know he's still "keeping it real".

What day is it again?

That's right everybody it that day of the year again. Yep, Friday the 13th. A day where everything that can go wrong does go wrong, or so they say.

First off let us have a moment of compassion for those out there who fear and dred this day. That's right, we like to call them Paraskevidekatriaphobics — people afflicted with a morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th.

And here I am thinking that sharks are the scariest thing in the world. I have been so wrong, I mean a day on the calendar is so much scarier then a living, breathing thing. How could I be so stupid.

So for you, some facts about this dark day:

Strangely, there is evidence to suggest that Friday the 13th is actually unlucky. Psychologists have found that some people are especially likely to have accidents or fall ill on Friday the 13th. This has been attributed to such people feeling a heightened state of anxiety on that day .The Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in North Carolina estimates that in the United States alone, $800 or $900 million is lost in business each Friday the 13th because people will not fly or do business they would normally do.

In the Spanish speaking world they fear Tuesday the 13th, as they fear they bring bad luck. I can see that more, mostly because I have always loathed Tuesdays.

So enjoy this scary day because we wont have another one till April 13th, 2007.

You know...if the world makes it that long ;)

I'm back!

Sorry that I have been MIA lately. I would like to say that my life has been filled with excitment and thrills, but not really. Been busy hanging out at home and celebrating some special events like Thanksgiving and Emma's second birthday, though I am still having a hard time believing that last one.

My friend Kylah who lives in Squamish came to town to visit and I spent much time with her. Beyond that hanging out with friends when I can but enjoying the company of home...which is Deedee and Chris. Here are some pictures that I took over the last while on my camera phone. For some reason whenever I go to take a shot of someone they make the most insane faces, which requires an extreme close up. I have no idea who took the picture of me, I just know it wasn't me.

Happy Wednesday!

Rob, first time I'd seen him in a while and I'm sure there will be along stretch before I see him again. All I have to say about that really.

Me...taken in the same week as the the other ones. Nothing too spectacular that's for sure, and I look like I have a gimpy eye.


KYLAH! She heads back to the mainland today and I'm going to miss her even more now.


This is Dan, well my groups Dan the Man. I never see him unless Kylah's here to visit so it was good to catch up.


Adam being Adam, which means weird.

My girl Erin, who had her head shaved on Friday for cops for cancer. Mad props!

So will you stop bugging me about updating now Deedee?
