Can't talk now...The squirrels will get me....

So I had a three-day weekend, which was nice. On Saturday Shawn and I got our portraits taking. To bad Shawn had to go back. He is in Cypress Hills right now, on some weeklong field trip. He has like no cell coverage from the campsite, which sucks bananas. However him and some other guy snuck through the trees and braved the wilderness just so he could phone me. I'm happy I got to talk to him. It would be a long week if I didn't get to talk to him. He said that all that they did yesterday was follow a squirrel around for an hour and watch what they do all day. Glad to see he is getting a proper education. Apparently Squirrels aren't very entertaining. Eat a pinecone here, jump from tree to tree there, you know the basics in a squirrel world.

Just because you can, Doesn't mean you should

So it is nice here for a change. It isn’t raining and there isn’t any of that S_ _ _. That dreaded four-letter word. Shawn goes back on Sunday. I can’t believe how fast this week went. It sucks that he is leaving again. But he will be back for thanksgiving, which isn’t to far away.
Going for pictures tomorrow. Though it would be nice if we had some taken. We really don’t have a nice picture of the two of us.
Shawn had the little kitties eating in the house yesterday. I don’t think Dusty would be to impressed if she saw. It’s probably a good thing that Shawn locked her in the computer room. The one little guy is so tame and the other is so scared of everything.
But that’s about it. Later.

Words of Wisdom

Feeling lost and adrift? Gain inner peace from reading Homer. No, not the Greek guy. Homer Simpson. Here are some Homeric jewels to live by:

“The answers to life’s problems aren’t at the bottom of a bottle. They’re on TV.”

“What’s the point of going out? We’re just going to end up here anyway.”

“Trying is the first step to failure.”

“You can’t keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once and move on.”

“Doughnuts. Is there anything they can’t do?”

“The three little sentences that will get you through life.
No. 1: Cover for me.
No.2: Oh, good idea, Boss.
No. 3: It was like that when I got here.”

Even if the voices aren't real, they have some good ideas

So Shawn is coming home on Sunday. This is cool. Home for a whole week! Almost make a person wonder why he bothered to go in the first place.
Was bored yesterday, went out for a walk, took pictures. I think that is what I want to do with my life. Take pictures. Now this is way I haven't gone to university. I can't make up my mind what to do with my life.
I think it really hit me is when Shawn suggested that I should blow up some f my pictures and take them to Sunflower. And for those of you that don't know what that is it is a local arts and craft show. This past weekend when my mom and I went I said it to her that I want to take pictures. She thought it was a good idea too, plus she said some of my pictures are nicer than some of the ones there.
So I'm putting the art on hold and looking into photography.

Life is Short…Play naked

So I am back from Holidays, unfortunately. I had a blast though. Can't wait to should you guys the pictures. Was in Banff last Friday. It was so pretty. To bad that the weather was not cooperating. It rain just about every day of my holidays. Now that I'm back to work it has been nothing but sun.
So Shawn is in his new apartment. It is a cute little place. Perfect for one person, or maybe two... I bought himsome fishy shower curtains of which I am very proud of. I wanted to buy a Coke one but it was pretty expensive. If only I could have found a moose one.
I took tons of pictures on holidays. A photo album full from camping, and there is going to be a photo album full from being at Banff. That's the closest I have ever been to the mountains. Been in the prairies for to long.
So I am starting a diet… As of yesterday. I have to start exercising, which is going to be the hard part, considering I don't like physical activity... But I'm going to try.I have the day off today, not sure what I'm going to do with myself. It's pretty cool though, off for two weeks, or one day get another day off. Very cool.
