Tagged I'm It!
Thank you to Beck for including me. Okay, here goes:
10 years ago: Approximately: I graduated from high school. Worked as a dishwasher in a Chinese food restaurant where the non-english speaking mother of the cook would yell at me and he'd translate in a really really bored voice. I moved back to the Kootenays to nanny my cousin and did that from 3 months to 1 year.
And then: I moved to Prince George and began my career as a Security Guard for a Pulp and Paper mill. I moved back to the Kootenays cuz I missed my mom. I moved to Vancouver because I couldn't stand my mom's husband. I worked as a Security Guard graveyard shift (11 p.m. - 7 a.m.) I decided I didn't like Security and Vampire jokes and went to school to become a Legal Secretary.
5 years ago: I moved to Port Moody with my friend Lisa in an awesome 2bdrm condo. I worked at a lawfirm where I was treated horribly and was kinda sorta depressed. Had joined LifeMates as I lost a bet with Lisa. Met some horrid gits and those that shouldn't have passed the screening.
1 year ago: I celebrated my first anniversary with MyLuc and he took me to our first date restaurant. I began working at my current firm where I totally get along with my lawyer and the work doesn't cause me to pass out from migraines. Still stressful but manageable.
Tomorrow: Will be Friday! Thank goodness! I will hopefully have my fundraising information packet finished, letters and all. My accounting for Eisenmarche in the mail and outta my bag.
5 snacks I enjoy: PB & B sandwiches, carrots, baked taco chips, my mom's oatmeal raisin cookies and MyLuc's cheesecake (all of them).
5 bands/artists that I know the lyrics to most of their songs: *blush* BSB, Abba, Elvis, Reba, Bon Jovi
5 things I'd do with $100,000,000: Pay off all my debts, MyLuc's debts, Stretch's debts so he can become a pilot, buy my Mom a home, send Sprout to school.
5 locations I'd like to run away to: New Zealand, New Orleans, Florida, Cuba, Hawaii
5 bad habits I have: Chewing my nails, Totally!, umm....interrupting people when they're talking, twirling my hair around my finger, bugging the cats.
5 things I like doing: Reading anything and everything, listening to music, visiting with friends, eating good food, Walking nowhere in particular.
5 thing I will never wear: This is a hard one, I wear most things.
5 TV shows I like: 70s Show, The Closer, CSI Las Vegas, Trading Spaces, Clean Sweep
5 movies I like: Recently - Coach Carter, In Good Company, Sky High, Classics - Father Goose, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
5 people I'd like to meet: Mother Theresa, Elvis, Michael Landon, Princess Diana, Reba
5 biggest joys at the moment: Shocking people with my Rebel Red streaks, trying to choose MyLuc's ring, Friends, MyLuc and sushi!
5 favorite toys: My big bird chair, barbies, yellow ducks (Quacklin o'course), Sarah and Tonka Trucks
5 people tagged: Mom to the Screaming Masses, Motherhood is NOT for Wimps, Bananarants, Glamazon Shoe Diaries and 15 Minute Lunch.

Hello All!
Back to the grind now. Day 2 after a week and 2 day vacation. It's so hard to get back into working 8-4 and getting up at 6. But what can you do, gotta pay the rent and all that other miscellaneous stuff like food n' clothes.
The pictures are on their way. I tried sending them to Picassa from MyLuc's computer but they were too big so I've gotta edit them.
I had a blast with my new camera. The pics below are from our night on the town - well a coupla hours really where we had dinner (pub food = burgers n' onion rings) drinks and o'course played some pool. I didn't play that much because I kept losing...a lot. Most of the games actually.
It was great being in Trail to see my best Tami and her fiancee Chad and o'course her cutie toddler T-man MyLuc was thrown head first into the Cameron family (my moms family) and o'course Tami's family as well, including parents, brothers and wives and children. He did fairly well and o'course survived the heat. It was so hot there you couldn't breathe.
Hopefully I can download some pics of my mom and family. I'm kinda proud of the way some of the pics turned out.
After returning to New West from Trail I went out to Mission to stay with MyLuc's mom. We were supposed to do a wine tour but it was too hot and his mom didn't want to drive. Sooo...we did sushi, costco and walmart. I took a whack of pics of their garden so hopefully I can get those on here too.
I should really be getting back to what they pay me for. Working on the computer and doing paperwork.

Talk to you soon.
