Timmy's coffee

Anything hot from Tim Hortons on a cold day is a treat. But Timmy's is so good no matter the weather! :-)

I've already posted twice today, but I'm so bored and doing nothing so I'm going to unbored myself and do something.. Which is voxing.

I'm going to have a strange Christmas this year. I am a million km's away from any family and I've never spent any holiday away from them. It will just be Wayne and I which might actually be quite nice. There won't be so much stress and we'll just spend the morning in bed eating breakfast and opening our delivered packages from loved ones. We can't afford to buy each other gifts this year, but we have put some money aside so that we can at least do some stocking stuffers.

I can't believe how quickly Christmas is approaching this year. All I do is work and sleep and eat. It's getting to be a little monotonous, but at the same time its quite nice to pass the time knowing that I'm making a bit of cash.

Wayne joined the fire department, and I'm actually very excited for him. He'll look sexy in the uniform. Most guys do.

I was thinking a lot about the homeless today. I wish that wasn't a problem in the world. I wish everyone had a home. I wish I could do more about it. Habitat for humanity is a good cause. I should do that when I go back home this summer. And I'd like to re join Big Sisters. There are so many causes I really want to help. All I can give is my time really, since I don't often have any money. But I think sometimes putting time in is more important than cash.

I didn't go to work today. I was scheduled to work at 7:30am.. and I didn't show up. i thought I would feel bad, but I've done so much for them and they don't appreciate me. I already quit, so its not like they can fire me. I know that shows lack of character that I didn't show up for work today, but I just couldn't go. I can't understand how a business can be run so  poorly yet still make money. The managers don't communicate with each other, so I bet no one other than the manager I told knows that I quit. I'm going to go in later and hand in a letter of resignation and give each manager a copy. I worked my ass off for them and it always went so unappreciated. Thats the worse kind of job to have. I didn't quit because of that reason, I quit because I got a way better job.  Well.. that is all..

Show us a winter photograph.

Snowmaking 101 006

Wayne took this just a few days ago when he was at work. For the next month he makes snow on the mountains so that its nice to ski or board on. Notice the little man standing at the front of the picture.. and the chair lifts to the left. Everything looks so small against the mountains.

k, so its been a while since I've written in this blog. But I actually have a good excuse. I've been keeping up with another blog. I have no good excuse as to why I haven't posted it on here.. Well maybe I do. Its actually quite boring unless you're a close friend or family member.

See, a few months ago, my boyfriend and I moved out to the rocky mountains to a resort called Panorama Mountain Resort and to keep everyone informed of everything that we've been doing, we've been blogging. There are tons of pictures and stories, but all a little mundane (mostly because all I do lately is WORK WORK WORK).

Once the winter season picks up a bit more and I don't have to work my second job, I'm sure there will be much more interesting stories to tell. If you do decide to take a peek at it I'll quickly get you up to speed on a few things; Wayne is my boyfriend, we've been together for a year and a half.. ish.., Chris is our roommate and probably the main reason we're out here. He's been convincing Wayne to get out here for years now, and finally we did it.

I started working housekeeping (which is the grossest job ever) and serving at the restaurant beside our place. Yesterday I quite the restaurant and the days before that, I got promoted to housekeeping coordinator (no more cleaning dirty toilets!!!!!!!).

I guess thats about it.

It's fabulous! And I say its "magic" because it makes my belly disappear!!! It's not the prettiest underwear.. but no one (but those who read this) will see. I effing love it!!!

Blah

Blah 010

So, shopng at Winners is sometimes such a disappointment. But yesterday I went there and totally lucked out. I got everything you see to the left in a three hour shopping spree. Three pairs of shoes, which i love. And new dress clothes for the hostess position. YAY! But I think I was happiest with my brand new 100% CASHMERE sweater (grey and pink sweater). It was marked down from $200 to $80.

I basically have a brand new wardrobe, way shorter hair with lots of highlights and a nice golden tan. Wayne isnt even going to recognize me. Ha! I love it! :-) 

Last night was fun. I went to an old friends going away party. She is moving to South Korea to teach English. I'm proud of her. We've been friends since the third grade but the past couple years we've kind of grown apart. We still talk but I hadn't seen her in about a year. We all ended up going to a bar after wards. This girl would not drink or have sex before marriage.. But she's changed.. a LOT. It was great catching up with her though.. I LOVE her!!

Looks like she had fun too! This is her dancing:

Shannons going away 019

This morning i woke up and my coffee maker was broken. How fruststrating!!! I had to tape it shut for it to work..

Shannons going away 001

Then I realized what a mess the apartent was. I cleaned all day. It wasn't really fun. Hopefully tomorrow will be more enjoyable!!!

Show us what you're drinking.

Nestle's Pure Life Natural Spring Water... I'm so dehydrated

I have my ticket purchased. I have most of my bags packed. I have a job waiting for me. And I finally told my father that I'm leaving.

It was so hard to tell him. I meant to tell him 4 or 5 days ago. But I didn't feel like I had a window of opportunity to tell him. Everytime I tried to bring it up, he'd start talking about something else. It was like he knew what I wanted to tell him and didn't want to hear it. I made a point of sitting with him because I had to talk about something specific with him. I've been painting at his house the past three days and couldn't tell him while we painted, I couldn't tell him during dinner, and I couldn't tell him during dessert.

Finally he says,"Ok, so you ready to go home?" at about 9:30pm. I told him,"No, I have to talk to you about something."  Then I burst into tears. I pulled myself together long enough to tell him, and to listen to him barrade me about how horrible of an idea this is. That only took about 2 minutes. His final sentence to me was, "Is that all you wanted to tell me?" I said "yes", Then he said, "Ok, I'll take you home now."

That was it.

When I got home I cried to Wayne on the phone for about an hour. Then I was fine.

Since I have told my dad, I've been to his house twice to finish painting. He gave me some money and took me to my neurologist appointment. We've talked about it a little bit. But he seems to get sad or something when i bring it up.

I told him about the swimming pool outside that they leave open all year long. Even when its snowing. Apparently its gorgeous and the water is warm. Can you just imagine that? Swimming outside while the snow is falling? I'm so excited.

Also, I have some better job opportunities. A girl whom I know out there left this message on my facebook wall:
